Novel 5-fluorouracil complexes of Zn() with pyridine-based ligands as potential anticancer agents

A series of novel Zn( ii ) complexes of 5-fluorouracilate (5-FU), namely [Zn(5-FU) 2 (bpy)] ( 1 ), [Zn(5-FU) 2 (phen)] ( 2 ), [Zn(5-FU) 2 (dpya)]·H 2 O ( 3 ), [Zn(5-FU) 2 (bpyma)]·2H 2 O ( 4 ) and [Zn(5-FU) 2 (terpy)]·H 2 O ( 5 ), were synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic meth...
