The structures and spectroscopic properties of new Mn(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Ag(I), Rh(III), and Ir(I) complexes with the ligand BZLMH derived from 6-acetyl-1,3,7-trimethyllumazine (lumazine=pteridine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione) and benzohydrazide are reported. Complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic studies (IR, UV-vis, (1)H, (13)C and (15)N NMR) and magnetic measurements. In all the complexes, the lumazine-derived ligand appears to be coordinated in either tridentate (N5, N61 and O63) or tetradentate forms (O4, N5, N61 and O63). The molecular structures of the [Co(BZLMH)(H(2)O)(CH(3)CN)(2)](ClO(4))(2) x CH(3)CN and [RhCl(2)(BZLM)(CH(3)CN)] x CH(3)CN complexes, determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, have allowed to corroborate both coordination behaviours. The cytotoxic activity of the free ligand and complexes against human neuroblastoma NB69 cell line is also described. The differential analysis of the initial cytotoxic screening data has shown good activity only for the [RhCl(2)(BZLM)(CH(3)CN)] x CH(3)CN compound at concentrations at around 2 microM; for the other complexes, a modulation of the cell growth was not found upon complexation, this non-specific effect strongly suggesting an apoptotic behaviour.

A number of new asymmetric azines derived from hydrazine and 6-acetyl-1,3,7-trimethyllumazine (lumazine=pteridine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione) and its derivatives with several aromatic aldehydes have been prepared and characterized by usual procedures (XRD, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR). These were reacted with [ReCl(CO)(5)] to give the corresponding mononuclear chloro-fac-tricarbonylrhenium(I) [ReCl(CO)(3)L] compounds. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR. Furthermore, single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies have also allowed to report two different coordination modes of the ligands, which are strongly influenced by the basicity of the heteroatoms on the aromatic aldehyde; thus, the hydrazones derived from hydrazine and hydroxyaldehydes are linked to Re(I) through N5 atom from the pyrazine ring and the N61 one from the hydrazino group, whereas with the ligand derived from pyridin-2-carbaldehyde, the N62 atom of the hydrazino group and the N1 from the pyridine moiety are preferred ligand-to-metal binding sites. The study of the effects of the compounds on the growth of four human tumor cell lines (neuroblastoma NB69, glioma U373, and breast cancer MCF-7 and EVSA-T) suggests a modulator behaviour, according to the concentration, of cell growth due to their estrogen-like characteristics.
