Ten thiosemicarbazone ligands obtained by condensation of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde, quinoline-2-carbaldehyde, 2-acetylpyridine, 2-acetylquinoline, or corresponding 2-pyridyl ketones with thiosemicarbazides RNHC(S)NHNH\(_{2}\) and R=CH\(_{3}\), C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\) were prepared in good yield. The reaction of [PdCl\(_{2}\)(cod)] with cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene or K\(_{2}\)[PtCl\(_{4}\)] resulted in a total of 17 Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes isolated in excellent purity, as demonstrated by \(^{1}\)H, \(^{13}\)C, and, where applicable, \(^{195\)Pt NMR spectroscopy combined with CHNS analysis. The cytotoxicity of the title compounds was studied on four human glioblastoma cell lines (GaMG, U87, U138, and U343). The most active compound, with a Pd(II) metal centre, a 2-quinolinyl ring, and methyl groups on both the proximal C and distal N atoms exhibited an EC\(_{50}\) value of 2.1 μM on the GaMG cell lines, thus being slightly more active than cisplatin (EC\(_{50}\) 3.4 μM) and significantly more potent than temozolomide (EC\(_{50}\) 67.1 μM). Surprisingly, the EC\(_{50}\) values were inversely correlated with the lipophilicity, as determined with the “shake-flask method”, and decreased with the length of the alkyl substituents (C\(_{1}\)>C\(_{8}\)>C\(_{10}\)). Correlation with the different structural motifs showed that for the most promising anticancer activity, a maximum of two aromatic rings (either quinolinyl or pyridyl plus phenyl) combined with one methyl group are favoured and the Pd(II) complexes are slightly more potent than their Pt(II) analogues.
