This study addressed the design and syntheses of diverse ligands, which were then successfully treated with Ni (II) ion to afford a series of nickel complexes. α-Chloroformylarylhydrazine hydrochlorides contain two different functional groups. One is a strong nucleophile, and the other is a good electrophile. Therefore, it can be designed to react with several reagents to obtain diverse derivat...

We synthesized a novel anticancer agents based on mixed chelate copper (II) complexes, named Casiopeínas((R)) has of general formula [Cu(N-N)(N-O)H(2)O]NO(3) (where, N-N = diimines as 1,10- phenanthroline, 2,2-bipyridine, or substituted and N-O=aminoeidate or [Cu(N-N)(O-O)H(2)O]NO(3) (where NN= diimines as 10-phenanthroline, 2,2-bipyridine or substituted Casiopeínas I, II, IV, V, VI, VII VIII a...

A series of aluminum alkyl complexes nacnacRAlMe2 (2a-2h) bearing aliphatic N-substituted β-diketiminate ligands (nacnacRH = N,N'-dialkyl-2-amino-4-iminopent-2-enes), were prepared from the reaction of trialkyl aluminum and the corresponding β-diketimines. All these aluminum complexes were characterized by NMR, elemental analysis and HRMS spectroscopy. The molecular structures of complexes 2a, ...

Complement is an important mediator of vascular injury following oxidative stress. We recently demonstrated that complement activation following endothelial oxidative stress is mediated by mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and activation of the lectin complement pathway. Here, we investigated whether nine plant lectins which have a binding profile similar to that of MBL competitively inhibit MBL dep...

Substituted Internal Alkene Complex Kerry A. Pickin, Cynthia S. Day, Marcus W. Wright, and Mark E. Welker* Department of Chemistry, Wake Forest University, P.O. Box 7486, Winston-Salem, NC 27109 An unusual cobaloxime substituted terminal alkene has been isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The double bond in the alkene readily isomerizes but the title compound could be isolated ...
