Biologically-Active Gold(III) Complexes

Biologically-Active Gold(III) Complexes

A review is given of the background to and results of the succesful pharmacological testing of [AuX(2)(damp)] (X = Cl, OAc; damp = 2-Me(2) NCH(2)C(6) H(4)) against a range of microbes, fungi and tumouts, culminating in in vivo xenografts of ZR-1-75. These are the first fully evaluated gold(III) complexes. The activity and reactions of the diacetato-complex bear a resemblance to cisplatin, and s...

Biologically vital metal-based antimicrobial active mixed ligand complexes: synthesis, characterization, DNA binding and cleavage studies

Few novel cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes [M(fmp)3]Cl2, [M(fmp)(bpy)2]Cl2,[M(fmp)(phen)2]Cl2 and [M(fmp)(phen)(bpy)]Cl2 (fmp = 3-furan-2-ylmethylene-pentane-2,4-dione, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) have been synthesized andcharacterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements,IR, electronic, EPR, mass spectra and cyclic voltammetri...

BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SYNTHETIC POLYMERSt

The 1:2 divinyl ether-maleic anhydride cyclic alternating copolymer (DIVEMA) shows a wide variety of biological activities. It has antitumor activity; it induces the formation of interferon; it has antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal activity; it is an anticoagulant and an anti-inflammatory agent. DIVEMA is an immunopotentiator; it increases the rate of phagocytosis, it activates macrophag...
