BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The pathogenesis of acquired nephrogenic systemic fibrosis recently described for patients with renal insufficiency and a history of exposition to gadolinium-based magnetic resonance contrast agents is not completely understood. A role for circulating fibroblasts in the fibrosing tissue is hypothetical, and the mechanism of the assumed trigger function of gadolinium re...

Iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis (IDC) affects the growth of several crops, especially when growing in alkaline soils. The application synthetic Fe-chelates is one most commonly used strategies IDC amendment, despite their associated negative environmental impacts. In a previous work, Fe-chelate tris(3-hydroxy-1-(H)-2-methyl-4-pyridinonate) iron(III) [Fe(mpp)3] has shown great potential for allev...

A number of thiazole derived tridentate Schiff-bases (LH) and its metal chelates of the type [M(L)(2)X] where M=Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), L=substituted salicylaldehyde (5-H, 5-CH(3), 5-OCH(3), 5-NO(2) and 5-Cl) and X=CI have been synthesized and characterized with the help of elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, magnetic moments, UV-Vis, IR and NMR spectral data. An octahedral struct...

Candida haemulonii, Candida haemulonii var. vulnera and Candida duobushaemulonii, which form the C. haemulonii complex, are emerging etiologic agents of fungal infections known to be resistant to the most commonly used antifungals. The well-established anti-Candida potential of metal complexes containing 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands encouraged us to evaluate different copper(II), manganes...
