Cu( ii ) complexes with a salicylaldehyde derivative and α-diimines as co-ligands: synthesis, characterization, biological activity. Experimental and theoretical approach

in human peripheral blood cells. The interaction between the compounds and calf-thymus DNA was evaluated by diverse techniques suggesting a tight binding, which was also confirmed by molecular docking. In addition, it was found that the complexes bind tightly and reversibly to bovine and human serum albumin.
