A series of hybrid thiosemicarbazone-alkylthiocarbamate copper complexes with similar electronic environments but distinct physical structures have been prepared, characterized, and evaluated for antiproliferation activity. The complexes include the constitutional isomers (1-phenylpropane-1-imine-(O-ethylthiocarbamato)-2-one-(N-methylthiosemicarbazonato))copper(II) (CuL1) and (1-phenylpropane-1-one-(N-methylthiosemicarbazonato)-2-imine-(O-ethylthiocarbamato))copper(II) (CuL2) along with (1-propane-1-imine-(O-ethylthiocarbamato)-2-one-(N-methylthiosemicarbazonato))copper(II) (CuL3). Complexes CuL1and CuL2differ in the positions of the pendent thiosemicarbazone (TSC) and alkylthiocarbamate (ATC) moieties on the 1-phenylpropane backbone. Complex CuL3employs a propane backbone with the TSC in the 2-position as in CuL1. The isomer pair CuL1and CuL2have equivalent electronic environments with indistinguishable CuII/Ipotentials (E1/2= -0.86 V vs. ferrocenium/ferrocene) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra (g∥= 2.26, g⊥= 2.08). The electronic structure of CuL3has a similarE1/2of -0.84 V and identical EPR parameters to CuL1, 2. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirm a consistent donor environment with no substantial variation in the Cusingle bondN or Cusingle bondS bond distances and angles between the complexes. The antiproliferation activities of the CuL1–3were evaluated against the lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) and nonmalignant lung fibroblast cell line (IMR-90) using the MTT assay. CuL1had the highest A549 activity (A549EC50= 0.065 μM) and selectivity (IMR-90EC50/A549EC50= 20). The constitutional isomer CuL2displayed decreased A549 activity (0.18 μM) and selectivity (10.6). The complex CuL3displayed activity (0.009 μM) similar to CuL1but with a lack of selectivity (1.0). Cellular copper loading determined by ICP-MS was consistent with the activity and selectivity trends. The complexes CuL1–3did not induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.
