Abstract

A gallium(III) complex with 7-chloroquinoline thiosemicarbazone was synthesized and characterized. The complex proved to be thirty-one times more potent on colon cancer cell line, HCT-116, with considerably less cytotoxicity on non-cancerous colon fibroblast, CCD-18Co, when compared to etoposide. Its anti-malarial potential on 3D7 isolate of Plasmodium falciparum was better than lumefantrine.

Keywords: 7-Chloroquinoline thiosemicarbazone; Anti-plasmodial activity; Cytotoxic activity; Gallium(III) complex; Selectivity index.
