Designing, structural elucidation, comparison of DNA binding, cleavage, radical scavenging activity and anticancer activity of copper(I) complex with 5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-[(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-amino]-1,2-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one Schiff base ligand

The Schiff base ligand and copper(I) complex were synthesized and characterized crystallographically. Further, the compounds were evaluated for their pharmacological properties.
