Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxic activity of novel copper(II) complexes with aroylhydrazone derivatives of 2-Oxo-1,2-dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline-3-carbaldehyde

A new series of dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline-aroylhydrazone derivatives has been synthesized to evaluate the biological activity of their copper(II) complexes in order to assess the importance of an additional phenyl ring to the quinoline moiety and of the position of the OH substituent.154
