Öğe Antimicrobial activities of bis-(N-alkylbenzimidazole)-cobalt(II) and zinc (II) complexes(Elsevier, 2023) Sahin, Neslihan; Ustuen, Elvan; Ozdemir, Ilknur; Gunal, Selami; Ozdemir, Namik; Bulbul, Hakan; Gurbuz, NevinEight benzimidazole precursors (L), namely 1-allyl-benzimidazole, 1-methallyl-benzimidazole, 1-isopropyl-benzimidazole, 1-(3-methyloxetan-3-yl)methyl-benzimidazole, 1-allyl-5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole, 1-methallyl-5,6dimethyl-benzimidazole, 1-isopropyl-5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole and 1-(3-methyloxetan-3-yl)methyl-5,6dimethyl-benzimidazole, were coordinated to cobalt(II) and zinc(II) cations to form complexes of the type [MCl2L2]. Single-crystal X-ray structures were determined for two cobalt(II) and for one zinc(II) complexes and confirmed their tetrahedral molecular geometry. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of these two series of cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes were studied against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae), Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus and Enterococcus faecalis) bacteria and fungal strains (Candida albicans and Candida glabrata). Overall, cobalt(II) complexes were more effective than the zinc(II) complexes against all microorganisms. The most significant results were obtained with the two dichloro-bis(1-allyl-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole)-cobalt(II) and dichloro-bis(1-methallyl-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole)-cobalt(II) complexes against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata fungi with measured minimal inhibitory concentrations as low as 0.024 mu mol/mL, values close to those obtained with the commercially available drug Flucanozole (0.020 mu mol/mL).Öğe Antimicrobial activity, inhibition of biofilm formation, and molecular docking study of novel Ag-NHC complexes(Elsevier Science Sa, 2021) Sahin, Neslihan; Ustun, Elvan; Tutar, Ugur; Celik, Cem; Gurbuz, Nevin; Ozdemir, IsmailIn this study, we reported the synthesis of a new series of Silver(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes which were obtained from the corresponding new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors. All new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, LC-MS, H-1 NMR, and C-13{H-1} NMR spectroscopy. These new N-heterocyclic carbene precursors and Ag(I)-NHC complexes were evaluated for their antibacterial, antifungal, and antibiofilm activities. The biological activities of synthesized products were compared with standard drugs. All compounds have moderate antibacterial and antibiofilm activities. In particular, while compound 2a was found to be the best inhibitor of E. coli biofilms, while compound 2d inhibited C. albicans biofilm at the highest rate. All the compounds were also analyzed by molecular docking methods with the certain target molecules. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.

This synopsis presents recent amination methods using nitrogen-heteroatom bonds as a powerful and versatile platform to rapidly synthesize diverse aminoarenes, with transition-metal catalyzed arene C-H amination. The Buchwald-Hartwig amination has been investigated theoretically and experimentally to examine the scope of possible bases under different reaction conditions. We report examples of the palladium NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) catalyzed amination of aryl halides with anilines and amines in the presence of dimethoxyethane solvent and potassium tertiary-butoxide as a base.Öğe Arylation of heterocyclic compounds by benzimidazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium(II) complexes(Elsevier Science Sa, 2020) Sahin, Neslihan; Gurbuz, Nevin; Karabiyik, Hande; Karabiyik, Hasan; Ozdemir, IsmailSpecific C-H bond can be activated for arylation using aryl halide without the aid of directing the group in the case of electron-rich heteroarenes. The ability to readily generate halo substituted arylated heteroarenes is important in organic chemistry since these species are important building blocks for biochemists. In this manuscript, we report the synthesis of PEPPSI type-novel benzimidazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium(II) complexes (2a-e). All of the new compounds were fully characterized by H-1, C-13{H-1} NMR and FT-IR spectra. The structures of 2c, 2d, and 2e were determined by X-ray crystallography and the prepared complexes (2a-e) were investigated as catalysts for the direct arylation of 2-n-propylthiazole, 4,5-dimethylthiazole and 2-acetylthiophene with various aryl bromides. High catalytic activity for arylation was seen reaction using only 0.5 mol% catalyst for 1 h. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

A single-crystal X-ray structure of 7 was determined. These five Ag-NHC complexes were evaluated for their antimicrobial and biofilm formation inhibition properties. Complex 10 exhibited high antimicrobial activities comparable to those obtained with standard drugs such as Fluconazole in contact with Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Candida albicans. The latter complex has been shown to be very efficient in antibiofilm activity, with 92.9% biofilm inhibition at 1.9 mu g/mL on Escherichia coli. Additionally, the molecules were optimized with DFT-based computational methods for obtaining insight into the structure/reactivity relations through the relative energies of the frontier orbitals. The optimized molecules were also analyzed by molecular docking method against DNA gyrase of Escherichia coli and CYP51 from Candida albicans.Öğe A benzimidazolium salt as effective corrosion inhibitor against the corrosion of mild steel in acidic medium: experimental and theoretical studies(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Sahin, Neslihan; Kaya, Savas; Aydin, Ozkan; Katin, Konstantin P.; Chaouiki, Abdelkarim; Gurbuz, Nevin; Ozdemir, IsmailA new benzimidazolium salt (1-Allyl-3-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzyl)-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazoliumchloride) is characterized by using H-1 NMR and C-13(H-1) NMR spectroscopies. The corrosion inhibition performance of benzimidazolium salt for mild steel in an acidic medium is investigated with the help of both experimental and theoretical tools. The experimental part of inhibition analysis includes the use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear sweep voltammetry, potentiodynamic polarization techniques, and surface characterizations are made. In the theoretical part, Density Functional Theory calculations are performed to discuss the corrosion inhibition efficiency using quantum chemical parameters. Molecular Dynamic Simulation calculation is made to analyze adsorption properties and characteristics of synthesized molecules on mild steel. Experimental studies show that the inhibition efficiency is calculated as 97.6% from EIS results for 5 x 10(-3) M inhibitor. Both experimental analyses and theoretical calculations proved that the studied inhibitor molecule is exhibiting higher inhibition efficiency.Öğe C-H - H activation of furanyl and thiofuranyl substrates catalyzed by trans-dichloro[1-cinnamyl-3-arylmethyl-benzimidazol-2-yliden]pyridine palladium(II) complexes(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Sahin, Neslihan; Zengin, Sametkerim; Ozdemir, Ismail; Semeril, DavidThe present study explores the potential of six NHC-palladium(II) complexes derived from N-cinnamyl- N '- alkylbenzimidazolium salts, namely trans-dichloro[1,3-dicinnamyl-benzimidazol-2-yliden]pyridine palladium(II) (3a), 3a ), trans-dichloro[1-cinnamyl-3-benzyl-benzimidazol-2-yliden]pyridine palladium(II) (3b), 3b ), trans-dichloro[1- cinnamyl-(fluorobenzyl)-benzimidazol-2-yliden]pyridine- 2-yliden]pyridine palladium(II) (2-fluorobenzyl 3c , 3-fluorobenzyl 3d and 4-fluorobenzyl 3e ,) and trans-dichloro[1-cinnamyl-(4-nitrobenzyl)-benzimidazol-2-yliden]pyridine palladium(II) (3f), 3f ), as precatalyst for the cross-coupling reactions between furanyl and thiofuranyl derivatives and arylbromides via C-H - H activation of the heterocycles. The structure of the six palladium(II) complexes has been elucidated through the use of multinuclear NMR, FT-IR and mass spectroscopy. Furthermore, the square-planar geometry of the organometallic ion was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study carried out on complex 3c . The latter complex proved to be the most effective precatalyst agent, with observed conversions higher than 78% when 4-bromoacetophenone and 1-bromonaphthalene were employed.Öğe Copper-Catalysed Allylic Substitution Using 2,8,14,20-Tetrapentylresorcinarenyl-Substituted Imidazolium Salts(Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2015) Kaloglu, Murat; Sahin, Neslihan; Semeril, David; Brenner, Eric; Matt, Dominique; Ozdemir, Ismail; Kaya, CemalUnsymmetrical imidazolium salts, each having one nitrogen atom (N1) substituted by a cavity-shaped TPR group (TPR = 2,8,14,20-tetrapentylresorcinaren-5-yl), were tested in situ as proligands for the copper-catalysed allylic arylation of cinnamyl bromide with arylmagnesium halides. The catalytic systems produced mixtures of linear (l) and branched (b) arylated compounds in variable proportions, with the b/l ratio being the highest (78:22) for the most crowded imidazolium salt used, namely that in which the second nitrogen atom (N2) was substituted by a mesityl group. An N-heterocyclic carbene complex obtained from one of the imidazolium salts was characterised by an X-ray diffraction study.Öğe CT-DNA- and BSA-binding, molecular docking interactions, and ADME properties of new PEPPSI-type palladium complexes(Elsevier, 2026) Sahin, Neslihan; Ustun, Elvan; Tahir, Muhammad Nawaz; Arici, Cengiz; Gurbuz, Nevin; Ozdemir, Ismail; Semeril, DavidThe synthesis and characterization of three novel PEPPSI-type complexes, dichloro[1-allyl-3-(2-methylbenzyl)benzimidazole-2-ylidene]pyridine palladium(II) (2a), dichloro[1-allyl-3-(2-chlorobenzyl)-benzimidazole-2ylidene]pyridine palladium(II) (2b) and dichloro[1-allyl-3-(3-methylbenzyl)-benzimidazole-2-ylidene]pyridine palladium(II) (2c) were carried out. The structure of the complexes was elucidated by elemental analysis, NMR and IR spectroscopy. In addition, the structure of complex 2c was confirmed through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. BSA and DNA binding properties of the designed complexes were evaluated spectroscopically by Benesi-Hildebrand method. According to both DNA- and BSA-binding experiments, 2b has the best binding affinity with 3.06x104 M- 1, and 2.5x104 M- 1, respectively. Also, the bindings of the complexes were also evaluated by molecular docking methods, which gave accordance results with experimental ones. Additionally, complexes were analyzed ADME properties to get insight into drug-likeness, and pharmacokinetic evaluation and the complexes were coherent with Veber and Egan rules.Öğe Design, synthesis, antimicrobial activity and molecular docking study of cationic bis-benzimidazole-silver(I) complexes(Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2023) Ustun, Elvan; Sahin, Neslihan; Ozdemir, Ilknur; Gunal, Selami; Gurbuez, Nevin; Ozdemir, Ismail; Semeril, DavidTwo series of bis(1-alkylbenzimidazole)silver(I) nitrate and bis(1-alkyl-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole)silver(I) nitrate complexes, in which the alkyl substituent is either an allyl, a 2-methylallyl, an isopropyl or a 3-methyloxetan-3-yl-methyl chain, were synthesized and fully characterized. The eight N-coordinated silver(I) complexes were screened for both antimicrobial activities against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter baumannii) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus MRSA, and Enterococcus faecalis) bacteria and antifungal activities against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata strains. Moderate minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 0.087 & mu;mol/mL were found when the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were treated with the silver complexes. Nevertheless, MIC values of 0.011 & mu;mol/mL, twice lower than for the well-known fluconazole, against the two fungi were measured. In addition, molecular docking was carried out with the structure of Escherichia coli DNA gyrase and CYP51 from the pathogen Candida glabrata with the eight organometallic complexes, and molecular reactivity descriptors were calculated with the density functional theory-based calculation methods.Öğe Dichloro-Bis(1-Alkyl/Styryl-Benzimidazole)-Cobalt(II) Pre-Catalyst for Ethylene Dimerization(Mdpi, 2025) Hkiri, Shaima; Sahin, Neslihan; Sabourin, Romain; Brandt, Remi; Ozdemir, Ismail; Semeril, DavidA series of five cobalt(II) complexes, dichloro-bis(1-benzyl-benzimidazole)-cobalt(II) (1a), dichloro-bis[1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-benzimidazole]-cobalt(II) (1b), dichloro-bis((Z)-1-styryl-benzimidazole)-cobalt(II) (1c), dichloro-bis[(Z)-1-(2-fluorostyryl)-benzimidazole]-cobalt(II) (1d) and dichloro-bis(1-cinnamyl-benzimidazole)-cobalt(II) (1e), were evaluated in ethylene dimerization. Four of these complexes were described for the first time and fully characterized by IR, elemental analysis, mass and NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, the cobalt atom exhibited a typical tetrahedral geometry and was found to be coordinated to two chlorine atoms and two benzimidazole rings. In the presence of 20 bar of ethylene and diethylaluminium chloride as a co-catalyst, the complex with styryl substituents on the benzimidazole rings, complex 1c, exhibited the highest activity with a turnover frequency of 3430 mol(ethylene)mol(Co)-1h-1.Öğe Dichloro-bis[(Z)-1-styryl- benzimidazole]-zinc(II)(Mdpi, 2024) Sahin, Neslihan; Ozdemir, Ismail; Semeril, DavidWe have successfully synthesized the dichloro-bis[(Z)-1-styryl-benzimidazole]-zinc(II) complex, which was fully characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and mass and NMR spectroscopy. The solid-state structure definitively shows that two benzimidazole moieties are coordinated to the zinc atom, which adopts a tetrahedral geometry.Öğe Direct arylation of heteroarenes by PEPPSI-type palladium-NHC complexes and representative quantum chemical calculations for the compound which the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Sahin, Neslihan; Serdaroglu, Goncagul; Dusunceli, Serpil Demir; Tahir, Muhammad Navaz; Arici, Cengiz; Ozdemir, IsmailIn this study, we synthesized five new PEPPSI-type Pd-NHC complexes with high yields around 78-83%. The structures of all complexes were characterized by FT-IR, H-1 NMR, and C-13{H-1} NMR spectroscopies. Further, the structure of 2c was determined by X-ray crystallography. The single-crystal structure of 2c shows that coordination geometry around Pd is distorted square planar. The Pd-NHC complexes were efficient catalysts for the direct C5-arylation of 2-n-butylthiazole, 2-n-butylfuran, and 2-n-butylthiophene with various aryl-bromides and showed high catalytic activity for arylation reaction using only 1 mol% catalyst loading at 130 degrees C for 1 h. The conversions for substrates containing electron-withdrawing groups were higher than for substituents containing electron-donating groups. In order to evaluate the catalytic activity of the complexes, representative electronic and spectroscopic simulations by DFT method have been performed for 2c. NBO analysis has revealed that the strongest interaction contributing to the lowering of the molecular stabilization energy for 2c is predicted as pi(C11-N27) -> pi*(N26-C28) with E-(2) = 73.93 kcal mol(-1). In addition, FMO analysis has implied that 2c is more chemically reactive because of its lower energy gap value. According to the other quantum chemical parameters, 2c is softer, better electrophile and has more charge-transfer capability than 1c.Öğe First used of Alkylbenzimidazole-Cobalt(II) complexes as a catalyst for the N -Alkylation of amines with alcohols under solvent -free medium(Elsevier Science Sa, 2020) Sahin, Neslihan; Yildirim, Ilkay; Ozdemir, Namik; Gurbuz, Nevin; Ozdemir, Ismail[Abstract Not Available]Öğe In Vitro Evaluation of Silver-NHC Complexes Against a Clinical Isolate of Acanthamoeba castellanii: Time- and Dose-Dependent Effects(Mdpi, 2025) Akin-Polat, Zuebeyda; Sahin, Neslihan; Hkiri, Shaima; Ly, Bui Minh Thu; Oezdemir, Ismail; Semeril, DavidThe synthesis of a series of six chloro[N-alkyl-N-cinnamyl-benzimidazol-2-yliden]silver(I) complexes was successfully achieved, wherein allyl (3a), methoxymethyl (3b), benzyl (3c), 3-fluorobenzyl (3d), 4-fluorobenzyl (3e) and 4-methyl-benzyl (3f) substituents were grafted on the benzimidazole ring. The isolated silver N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were identified by microanalyses and mass spectrometry and characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic techniques. Conclusive evidence for the structures of complexes 3c and 3d was provided by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The in vitro inhibitory activity of the six Ag-NHC complexes was tested against trophozoites and cysts of the pathogenic Acanthamoeba castellanii strain and the efficacy sequence is as follows: 3d > 3c > 3f > 3a > 3b > 3e. At a concentration of 100 mu M in complexes 3c, 3d and 3f and after 72 h of incubation, 5.3, 3.2 and 6.3% A. castellanii trophozoite viabilities were observed, respectively. The utilization of elevated silver(I) drug concentrations, 1000 mu M, resulted in the near-total eradication of pathogenic protozoa.Öğe Molecular docking and electronic transition analysis of novel [Re(bbim)(bpy)(CO)3]OTf complex as a CO-releasing molecule(Scientific Publ-India, 2019) Ustun, Elvan; Celebi, Mutlu Sonmez; Sahin, Neslihan; Dusunceli, Serpil Demir; Ozdemir, IsmailSynthesis of CO-releasing molecules that safely deposit/transport CO has attracted great attention after the discovery of therapeutic properties of carbon monoxide, which is known to be a toxic gas. Metal carbonyl complexes seem to be the most important alternative as CO-releasing molecules. Recent developments in computational chemistry make it possible to gain many information about the properties of complexes before being synthesized. On the other hand, molecular docking methods can also give valuable information about the interaction of the molecules with tissue. The metal carbonyl complexes that were synthesized as a CO-releaser interact primarily with blood proteins when they enter the tissue; therefore, the theoretical analysis of the interaction of complexes with blood proteins can give useful information. In this study, [Re(bbim)(bpy)(CO)(3)]OTf (bbim: benzylbenzimidazole; bpy: 2,2'-bipyridyl, OTf: SO3CF3) complex was synthesized, characterized, analyzed by DFT/TDDFT based calculation method and docked into human serum albumin.Öğe N-alkylbenzimidazole silver(I) complexes: Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking study(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Ari, Erkan; Sahin, Neslihan; Ustun, Elvan; Dundar, Muhammed; Karci, Huseyin; Ozdemir, Lknur; Koc, AhmetA series of N-alkylbenzimidazole silver(I) complexes were synthesized and fully characterized by FT-IR, Mass, 1H, 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Synthesized N-alkylbenzimidazole silver(I) complexes were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and the fungal strains Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. All the complexes (2a-f) showed higher antimicrobial activity against bacteria than fungi strains. In particular, complexes 2b and 2e showed comparable activity to Ampicillin against Escherichia coli. Also, all complexes showed better activity than Ampicillin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The complex 2e showed remarkable activity against Candida albicans (12.5 mu g/mL) and Candida glabrata (25 mu g/mL). The molecules that were first optimized by DFT-based calculation methods were also analyzed by molecular docking methods against DNA gyrase of E. Coli, CYP51 from Candida glabrata, and Penicillin Binding Protein-3.Öğe Novel Ag(I)-NHC complex: synthesis, in vitro cytotoxic activity, molecular docking, and quantum chemical studies(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2022) Serdaroglu, Goncagul; Sahin, Neslihan; Sahin-Bolukbasi, Serap; Ustun, ElvanThe importance of organometallic complexes in cancer biology has attracted attention in recent years. In this paper, we look for the in vitro cytotoxic capability of novel benzimidazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor (1) and its Ag(I)-NHC complex (2). For this purpose, these novel Ag(I)-NHC complex (2) was characterized by spectroscopic techniques (H-1, C-13{H-1} nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR)). Then, in vitro cytotoxic activities of NHC precursor (1) and Ag(I)-NHC complex (2) were investigated against MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 human breast, DU-145 prostate cancer cells, and L-929 healthy cells using MTT assay for 24, 48, and 72 h incubation times. Ag(I)-NHC complex (2) showed promising in vitro cytotoxic activity against all cell lines for three incubation times, with IC50 values lower than 5 mu M. It was also determined that (NHC) precursor (1) were lower in vitro cytotoxic activity than Ag(I)-NHC complex (2) against all cell lines. Selectivity indexes (SIs) of Ag(I)-NHC complex (2) against cancer cells were found higher than 2 for 24 and 48 h incubation time. Besides, the electronic structure and spectroscopic data of the newly synthesized precursor and its Ag-complex have been supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular docking analysis. After, the anticancer activity of these compounds has been discussed considering the results of the frontier molecular orbital analysis. We hope that the obtained results from the experiments and computational tools will bring a new perspective to cancer research in terms of supported by quantum chemical calculations.Öğe Novel N-Alkylbenzimidazole-Ruthenium (II) complexes: Synthesis and catalytic activity of N-alkylating reaction under solvent-free medium(Wiley, 2019) Sahin, Neslihan; Ozdemir, Namik; Gurbuz, Nevin; Ozdemir, IsmailIn this article, direct N-alkylation reactions of amines with alcohols derivatives have been investigated. For this purpose, a new series ruthenium (II) complexes bearing N-coordinated benzimidazole complexes with have been synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR and, C-13 NMR spectroscopies. Additionally, the structures of the complexes 2b and 2c have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Although the N-alkylating reaction is usually performed in toluene, the catalytic study of complexes 2a-d has carried out no additional solvent and alcohol acted both as solvent and reactant of alkylating by using a little excess of alcohols. Surprisingly, conversion and selectivity of amine product for alkylation reaction have been seen high in medium solvent-free relative to in toluene.Öğe Novel N-heterocyclic carbene silver(I) complexes: Synthesis, structural characterization, and anticancer activity(Elsevier Science Sa, 2019) Bolukbasi, Serap Sahin; Sahin, Neslihan; Tahir, Muhammad Nawaz F.; Arici, Cengiz; Cevik, Esranur; Gurbuz, Nevin; Ozdemir, IsmailIn this study, we synthesized four novel unsymmetrically substituted NHC ligands (la-d) and their Ag(I) complexes (2a-d). All new compounds were characterized using elemental analysis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The molecular structure of complex 2d was elucidated through single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Single crystal structural studies for complex 2d show that the benzene rings (C9-C14) and the central benzimidazole ring system make dihedral angles of 85.65(11)degrees. The Ag-Cl and Ag-C single bond lengths are 2.3553(7) and 2.096(2)angstrom, respectively. The C-Ag-C/ bond angle is 168.27(7)degrees. Both salts and complexes were tested for their anti-cancer potential against three human cancer cell lines (DU-145, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231) and non-cancer cells adipose from mouse (L-929) for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h using the MTT assays. However, the Ag(I)-NHC complexes (2a-d) showed a dose and time-dependent cytotoxic activity against all cell lines. MDA-MB-231 human breast carcinoma cells were the most sensitive to the Ag(I)-NHC complex displaying IC50 lower than 1 mu M all time points. Further, the IC(50)s for Ag(I)-NHC were higher in non-cancer cells, suggesting that complexes possessed noteworthy selectivity for human cancer cells.
