ABSTRACT
This study investigates the antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of neodymium (III) complexes featuring coumarin and clioquinol ligands, known for their cure potential. The complexes are synthesized using coordination chemistry techniques, resulting in unique molecular structures. Antioxidant activities were assessed through various assays, revealing their ability to combat oxidative stress. Cytotoxicity studies demonstrate their potential as anticancer agents. Structural and spectroscopic analyses provide insights into their coordination geometries and electronic properties, the pathways behind their impacts. Overall, this study notifies the development of therapeutic agents targeting oxidative stress-related disorders and cancer with enhanced efficacy and fewer side effects.
