The invention discloses a
copper (II) complex with anticancer activity as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of complexes. According to the preparation method, CuCl22H2O, CuBr2 or Cu (NO3) 2.3 H2O is subjected to a reaction with benzoyl
hydrazone 3-acetyl-7-N, N-diethylamino
coumarin respectively, and the complex is obtained. The obtained complex has certain anti-proliferative activity to four
cell lines, namely
HeLa, MCF-7, A549 and HepG-2, and the anti-proliferative activity is obviously superior to that of a ligand, particularly, the complex shows relatively excellent anti-proliferative activity to the MCF-7
cell line, and the
toxicity to normal
HUVEC cells is also obviously lower than that of cis-
platinum. The
copper (II) complex provided by the invention has good anti-
cancer activity, the preparation method is simple, the
toxicity is small, and a new thought is provided for the development of anti-
cancer drugs.
