Transition metal coordination complexes have provided cancer treatment with new insights to overcome the limitations of current chemotherapeutic agents. Utilization of bifunctional tetrazole-carboxylate ligands with Zn(ii) obtained two self-assembled complexes [Zn(HL1 (bipy)(3/2)(H2O)]center dot CH3OH center dot 4(H2O) (1) (H3L1 = 1,3,5-tri(2-carboxymethyltetrazol-5-yl) benzene) and [Zn(L-2)(2)(H2O)(2)](2)center dot 2H(2)O (2) (HL2 = (5-pyridin-3-yl-tetrazol-2-yl)-acetic acid). The X-ray diffraction results showed that the two complexes displayed a two-dimensional (2D) layer structure and a one-dimensional (1D) layer structure. Nanocoprecipitation with DSPE-PEG-2000 resulted in the formation of complex nanoparticles (NPS) with excellent water dispersion. In vitro CCK-8 assay indicated the two NPs exert high cytotoxicity and sensitivity and a low half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) towards HeLa than HepG2 cells. In addition, the cytotoxicity was also confirmed by live/dead co-stained experiments. The presented experimental results showed the 1 and 2 NPs were capable of inhibiting cell proliferation in vitro and may help design coordination complex-based anticancer candidates for cancer cells.
