Original Title:
Σύνθεση συμπλόκων ενώσεων Cu(I) και μελέτη της βιολογικής τους δράσης έναντι καρκινικών κυττάρων και PAF
Translated title:
Synthesis of Cu(I) complexes and study of the biological activity towards cancer cells and PAF
Summary:
In this thesis we carried out the synthesis and characterization of
[Cu(pq)2]BF4 and [Cu(pqCl)2]BF4 complexes using spectrophotometric methods like
NMR, F.T-IR, UV-Vis and CV. The complexes were studied in their interaction
with calf thymus DNA (C.T.-DNA). The interaction was studied with UV-Vis
spectrometry, Circular Dichroism, Viscometry, luminescence studies, Cyclic
Voltammetry and agaroze gel electrophoresis. All experiments were carried out
at pH=7 (tris HCl buffer). In addition, we studied the activity of [Cu(pq)
]BF4, [Cu(pqCl)2]BF4 and [Cu(dmp) ]BF4 as potential inhibitors towards Platelet
Activating Factor (PAF) as well as the biological effect of [Cu(pq) ]BF4
towards brain and prostate cancer cells.
