Thiosemicarbazones of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone and 3-aminobenzophenone (L1-L4) have been synthesized and their Cu(II) complexes (1-4) were afforded via coordination with cupric chloride. All these compounds were characterized by UV-vis and IR spectroscopy together with CHN elemental analysis. NMR spectroscopy was also applied to characterize the ligands. In vitro cholinesterase inhibitory assays for the complexes (1-4) showed IC50 values less than 10 ¦Ìmol/L, with complex 1 exhibiting the most activity, IC50 = 2.15 ¦Ìmol/L and 2.16 ¦Ìmol/L for AChE and BuChE, respectively. Molecular modeling simulation revealed the binding interaction template for complex 1 with the AChE and BuChE receptors. In DPPH assay, the complexes also showed more in vitro antioxidant activities in comparison to their parent ligands.
