COMPLEXES OF CU(I) AS ANTITUMOR AGENTS
The invention relates to a Cu(l) complex of Formula (I), wherein L is a ligand of Formula (II), wherein n1, n2, n3 are independently to each other, an integer from 0 to 1, A1, A2 and A3 are independently from each other,- a phenyl optionally substituted with (C1-C3)alkoxy, (C1-C3)alkyl, F, formyl, carboxyl, sulphonyl hydroxyl, hydroxyl, methoxy(C1-C3)alkoxy or - an heterocyclic ring selected from piperazinyl, morpholynyl, thiomorpholynyl, optionally substituted with (C1-C3)alkyl, where the heterocyclic ring is linked with the nitrogen atom to -CH2- residue, with the proviso that when A1, A2 or A3 is optionally substituted phenyl, then n1, n2 or n3, respectively, is 0, and when A1, A2 or A3 is optionally substituted heterocyclic ring, then n1, n2 or n3, respectively, is 1, for use in the treatment of tumours.
