Síntesis y caracterización estructural de compuestos de coordinación de cobre y plata usando carbamazepina como ligando

Abstract

Epilepsy is a serious psychological disorder composed by involuntary movement attacks, something unusual in the neurons which may cause changes in people’s behavior. Nowadays it is very common to use carbamazepine (CBZ) for the treatment for epilepsy as an antiepileptic drug that works lowering nerve impulses which cause convulsion and pain. This research project is based on getting new organometallic materials from copper and silver using carbamazepine as ligands, characterized as molecules by several instrumental techniques such as infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and supported with crystallographic studies carried out through X-ray diffraction of polycrystalline samples. The selection of metals was made due to the great dissemination it has had in specialized literature. The copper and silver complexes have an anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-ulcerous, fighting against cancer, anti-diabetics and anti-epileptic since it has anti-convulsion effects.
