Abstract: | Herein, a Mn(II) complex of the N,N′-dipyridoxyl(1,4-butanediamine) (═H2L) Schiff base has been newly synthesized. The synthesized complex was characterized by several experimental methods. In addition, the density functional theory approaches were used for theoretical identification of the complex. A good agreement between the computed and experimental infrared frequencies demonstrates validity of the optimized geometry for the synthesized complex. In a N2O2 manner, two azomethine nitrogens and two phenolate oxygens of the L2− ligand are coordinated to the Mn2+ metal ion. The biological studies indicate an efficient apoptotic and antioxidant activities of the synthesized MnL(CH3OH)2] complex on both of the HepG2 and MCF7 cancer cells. Since it has been suggested that the complex is an exclusive potent antitumor for treatment of the human breast and liver cancers. |
