To the article “Biochemical Evaluation of Copper Compounds Derived from O- and N-/O- Donor Ligands,” by Muhammad Nadeem Akhtar, Muhammad Shahid, Masaaki Sadakiyo, Muhammad Ikram, Sadia Rehman, and Irshad Ahmed, Vol. 51, No. 4, pp. 272 - 276, July, 2017
The abstract should read: The complexes [CuII2(benz)4(Hbenz)2] (1) and [CuII(ppa)2(H2O)2]n (2), where benz = benzoate and ppa = 3-pyridinepropionic acid, were synthesized and studied for their 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and inhibition of enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), lipoxygenase (LOX), urease, chymotrypsin, and -glucosidase. The synthesized complexes were also studied by the hemolytic method for their cytotoxicity and found to be low-toxicity substances. For AChE inhibition, complex 2 showed IC50 = 31.22 0.45 M compared to 1 with IC50 = 36.52 0.44 M. Both compounds showed comparably low activity against BChE and were also active against urease, but complex 1 exhibited selective anti-urease activity. The anti- -glucosidase activity of both complexes was comparable to that of the standard drug used.
-
valuable -glucosidase, AChE, and BChE inhibition, which indicates that these compounds can be potential candidates in drug
development. In summary, we conclude that part of the current study can provide valuable leads in the treatment of AD. In
addition, the present study paves the way for further investigations into copper complexes for effective treatment options in medicine
and as therapeutic pharmaceuticals, etc.
