Cytotoxic Activities of Thiosemicarbazones and Their Metal Complexes

摘要

The cytotoxic properties of thiosemicarbazones and their transition metal complexes are reviewed since 2006. Thiosemicarbazones have more applications in pharmacological field. Regarding the biological activities of thiosemi-caibazones and their metal complexes, the literature survey reveals that French et al. reported first time anti carcinogenic property of thiosemicarbazones. But not much research was carried out after that, but in 21st century, so many researchers were concentrated on this issue. Due to this reason we found lot of research papers about the cytotoxic ability of thiosemicarbazones from the recent years. This forces us to review the cytotoxic applications of thiosemicarbazones and their metal complexes from the year 2006.
