Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure of the coordination polymer Zn (II) with thiosemicarbazone of glyoxalic acid and their inhibitory properties against some metabolic enzymes

A new coordination polymer Zn(II) with thiosemicarbazone glyoxalic acid H(2)GAT was obtained in this study. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the coordination of the Zn(II) ion is carried out by one sulfur atom, in the thiol form, one nitrogen atom of the azomethine group and two oxygen atoms of the carboxylate groups, one of which belongs to neighbouring complex molecule. The oxygen atom of the water molecule completes Zn(II) ion environment to a distorted square-pyramidal structure. The binding of the monomer complex into polimer occurs through the bridge oxygen atom of carboxylate group. This complex is effective inhibitor of the alpha-glycosidase, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), cytosolic carbonic anhydrase I and II isoforms (hCA I and II), and acetylcholinesterase enzymes (AChE) enzymes with Ki values of 1.45 +/- 0.23 mu M for hCA I, 2.04 +/- 0.11 mu M for hCA II, 3.47 +/- 0.88 mu M for alpha-glycosidase, 0.47 +/- 0.10 mu M for BChE, and 0.58 +/- 0.13 mu M for AChE, respectively.
