Synthesis, characterization and anticancer activities of methylbenzoylthiourea and its copper (II) complexes

Abstract

Thiourea derivatives are potentially versatile ligand and various substituted thioureas have attracted interest in recent years because of their coordination ability to the transition metals and widely used in numerous applications. In this present study, copper(II) complexes featuring methylbenzoylthiourea derivatives are tested for its chemical and physical characteristics and in turn, screened for their anticancer activity.
