A. Papageorgiou et al., ANTINEOPLASTIC AND CYTOGENETIC EFFECTS OF COMPLEXES OF PD(II) WITH 4N-SUBSTITUTED DERIVATIVES OF 2-ACETYL-PYRIDINE-THIOSEMICARBAZONE, Anticancer research, 17(1A), 1997, pp. 247-251
The effect of novel Pd(II) complexes with derivatives of 2-acetyl-pyri
dinethisemicarbazone, N4-ethyl (HAc4Et) and 3-hexamethyleneiminylthios
emicarbazone (HAchexim), on Sister Chromatid Exchange (SCE) rates and
human lymphocyte proliferation kinetics was studied. Also, the effect
of Pd(II) complexes on DNA synthesis of P388 and L1210 cell cultures a
nd against Leukemia P388 was investigated. Among these compounds, the
compound thyleneiminyl-2-acetylpyridine-thisemicarbazonato) palladium
(II) was found to be distinctly effective against Leukemia P388, in in
hibiting incorporation of H-3-thymidine into DNA and in inducing SCEs
and cell division delays.
