Abstract: Aim: Lead is a powerful metal which induced neurotoxicity through the degradation of neurons in body. Various neuronal changes have shown correlation with generation free radicals and oxidative stress. The present study was carried out to evaluate neuroprotective activity Natrium diethyl dithiocarbamate trihydrate (NDDCT) on lead neurodegeneration rat’s model. Methods: We evaluated ND...

A single source molecular precursor synthesis of new quinary Ag-In-Ga-Zn-S (AIGZS) QDs is presented. Dithiocarbamate complexes with varied Ag/In/Ga/Zn ratios were prepared from AgNO3, In(NO3)3, Ga(NO3)3 and Zn(diethyldithiocarbamate)2. The thermal decomposition these at 220 °C in oleylamine produces AIGZS emitting the visible to near-infrared region photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QYs) up ...

Neutral or cationic arene ruthenium complexes providing both hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic properties due to the robustness of the ruthenium-arene unit hold a high potential for the development of metal-based anticancer drugs. Mononuclear arene ruthenium complexes containing P- or N-donor ligands or N,N-, N,O- or O,O-chelating ligands, dinuclear arene ruthenium systems with adjustable orga...

The crystal structures of the copper-dependent Aspergillus japonicus quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase (2,3QD) complexed with the inhibitors diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) and kojic acid (KOJ) are reported at 1.70 and 2.15 A resolution, respectively. Both inhibitors asymmetrically chelate the metal center and assume a common orientation in the active site cleft. Their molecular plane blocks access to the...

We investigated [201Tl]diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) as a tracer for local cerebral blood flow (LCBF). Awake male rats were given intravenous infusions of a mixture of DDC and reference tracer(s): [123I]isopropyliodoamphetamine (IMP) and/or [14C]iodoantipyrine (IAP). LCBF values for DDC, IMP, and IAP were measured using simultaneous multiple radionuclide autoradiography and quantitative digital ...
