A Co(III) Complex of 1-Amino-4-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone Exhibits Apoptotic Action against MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: A Co(III) complex of 1-amino-4-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (QH) (Scheme-1) having the molecular formula CoQ₃ (Scheme-2) was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. In the absence of a single crystal, the energy-optimized molecular structure of CoQ₃ was determined by employing computational methods that was validated using spectroscopic evidences, elemental analysis, and mass spectrometry data. The electrochemical properties of the complex were analyzed using cyclic voltammetry and indicate a substantial modification of the electrochemical properties of the parent amino-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone. CoQ₃ was thereafter tested on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. T
