Abstract

(ATCC 10231). The MIC value compares the antimicrobial results. Additionally, cytotoxicity was assessed in DLA, HepG2, and human H9c2 cancer cell lines, revealing that Hg(ii) complexes exhibit low cytotoxicity in human H9c2 cells. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) rationalized the core biological findings.
