Özet
In this study, three novel palladium(II) complexes based on S-methylthiosemicarbazone ligands derived from 1,3-butanedione and 2,4-pentanedione—functionalized with methyl (single bondCH₃), trifluoromethyl (single bondCF₃), and thiophene groups—were synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. To evaluate their potential as VEGFR-2 inhibitors, a comprehensive computational investigation was performed. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to assess the binding affinities and dynamic stability of the co-ligand (colig) and three complexes (comp1, comp2, and comp3) with the VEGFR-2 receptor (PDB ID: 3CJG).Binding analyses consistently identified colig as the most potent binder, exhibiting the most favorable binding free energy (∆Gbind of −106.282 kJ/mol). MD simulations revealed two distinct …
