Abstract

Abstract Organometallic complexes with (thio)pyrone-based ligands have been shown to possess promising cytotoxic properties. To extend the class of potential metallodrugs, the (thio)pyrone backbone was modified via Mannich reaction with morpholine, N-methylpiperazine and piperidine as cyclic amine. The ligands and organometallic complexes were characterized by means of 1D and 2D NMR, ESI MS and also in one case by X-ray diffraction analysis. Due to the high aqueous solubility, the behavior and stability in aqueous solution of the synthesized complexes was studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the influence of these modifications on cytotoxicity in human cancer cell lines was investigated by means of the MTT assay.
