Announcement: 8th International Symposium on Platinum and Other Metal Coordination Compounds in Cancer Chemotherapy ISPCC '99

Announcement: IUPAC 8th International Symposium on Macromolecule-Metal Complexes (MMC-8)

Interactions of platinum metals and their complexes in biological systems.

Platinum-metal oxidation catalysts are to be introduced in exhaust systems of many 1975 model-year automobiles in the U.S. to meet Clean Air Act standards. Small quantities of finely divided catalyst have been found issuing from prototype systems; platinum and palladium compounds may be found also. Although platinum exhibits a remarkable resistance to oxidation and chemical attack, it reacts ch...

A Survey of Anticancer Effect of Some Five- and Six-Membered Palladium (II) Complexes (Containing Bidentate Phosphorus Ligands) on Caco-2 Colon Cancer Cell Line

Background and Objectives: Transition metal complexes possess a variety of biological and pharmacological activities, such as antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and free radical scavenging. Many studies have been carried out on platinum-based chemotherapy agents, however, most attention has been paid to non-platinum metal-based agents in order to find different metal comp...

Anticancer Activity of Heterocyclic Ligand-platinum Metal Complexes

A wide range of research activities have been carried out so far on benzimidazole and pyridine derivatives to evaluate their Antiviral, Anticancer, Anticonvulsant, Anthelmintic Activity and many promising results are obtained with respect to the anticancer activity. Out of the various ligands used, the alkylating agents are found to be highly active with respect to cancer chemotherapy. Nitrogen...
