Özet
New thiosemicarbazone-based Ni(II) complexes, [Ni(L1–3)] (1–3), were synthesized, structurally characterized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic potential in a panel of human cervical (HeLa), lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231), and pancreatic (PANC-1) cancer cells, along with a non-cancerous human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell line. The complexes exhibited selective cytotoxic effects, with HeLa cells showing the highest sensitivity. Among them, complex 2 demonstrated the most pronounced antiproliferative activity and selectivity compared to complexes 1 and 3. Cellular studies in HeLa cells revealed increased oxidative stress markers, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis-related alterations accompanying the observed cytotoxicity. Chemical antioxidant assays indicated higher radical-scavenging activity for the free ligand, whereas complex 2 displayed the highest TEAC value among the metal …
