Resumen de Synthesis, characterization and biological properties of new codeine fe(IIII) complex
Shahriar Ghamami, Mojdeh Golzani, Amir Lashgari
The reaction of FeCl3 hexahydrate with C18H20NO3.PO4 in acetonitrile produced new complex with general formula [Fe(L)]Cl2, (L= codeine). Characterization of the ligand and its complex were made by elemental analysis, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, Raman and UV-visible spectroscopy. This new complex showed antitumor activity against two kinds of cancer cell lines: AGS (Stomach) and MCF-7 (Breast). Cell cytotoxic effects of the ligand and its complex were assayed by MTT and Natural-red tests. The antibacterial activity of ligand and complex against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Escherichia coli were also examined.
