A novel microwave-assisted synthetic method has been used to synthesise a series of mixed ligand ruthenium(II) compounds containing diimine as well bidentate thiosemicarbazone ligands. The contain the 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) and is derived from 9-anthraldehyde. Based on elemental analyses spectroscopic data, are best formulated [(phen)2Ru(thiosemicarbazone)](PF6)2 where = 9-anthraldehydethiosemicarbazone, 9-anthraldehyde-N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone,...

Vero cell replication uninhibited for exposed metal complex but protected from light. that were complex, rinsed, illuminated >460 nm light showed a response...
Design of inhibitors for amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide aggregation has been widely investigated over the years toward developing viable therapeutic agents Alzheimer's disease (AD). The biggest challenge seems to be inhibiting Aβ at early stages possibly monomeric level, because oligomers are known neurotoxic. In this regard, exploiting metal-chelating property generate molecules that can overcome impediment presents some promise. Recently, one such metal complex containing PtII ([Pt(BPS)Cl2]) was...
l-Ascorbic acid interacts with vanadium(V) over the pH range of 0.4−7.0 to form three different coordination complexes. Both inner- and outer-sphere electron-transfer pathways are proposed vanadium(IV) complexes l-ascorbate or dehydroascorbate, respectively. Effects on l-ascorbic center were observed presumably related speciation ion. Three using ambient-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Two these be complexes, one is consistent a dehydroascorbic complex earlier....

In situ reactions of metal ions or their compounds are important mechanisms by which particles alter lung immune responses. The authors hypothesized that major determinants the immunomodulatory effect any include its redox behavior/properties, oxidation state, and/or solubility, and toxicities arising from differences in physicochemical parameters manifest, part, via differential shifts iron (Fe) homeostasis. To test hypotheses, potentials for both pentavalent vanadium (VV; as soluble...
Background/Aims: Targeting survivin, an anti-apoptotic protein and mitotic regulator, is considered as effective therapeutic option for pancreatic cancer (PaCa). Tolfenamic acid (TA) showed anti-cancer activity in pre-clinical studies. A recent discovery demonstrated a copper(II) complex of TA (Cu-TA) can result higher activity. In this study, the ability Cu-TA to inhibit survivin its transcription factors, Specificity (Sp) 1 3 PaCa cell lines tumor growth mouse xenograft model were...
