In this paper we present new copper(i) iodide or copper(i) thiocyanate complexes with hydroxymethyldiphenylphosphine (PPh2(CH2OH)) or phosphine derivatives of sparfloxacin, a 3(rd) generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic agent (PPh2(CH2-Sf)) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) or 2,2'-biquinoline (bq) auxiliary ligands. The synthesised complexes were fully characterised by NMR and UV-Vis s...

Two copper(I)–NHC complexes bearing an azide group were reacted with alkyne-decorated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles without the use of external copper source. In case least sterically congested complex, resulting displayed a catalytic activity in copper-catalyzed alkyne cycloaddition and some reusability highlighting covalent grafting molecular catalyst by this mild simple strategy.

Reactive methylene group at C2 position in dimedone plays an important role in the synthesis of a variety of organic ligands. Condensed compounds 3, 5, 7 were synthesized by reaction with dimedone and different aromatic aldehydes. Synthesized condensed compounds 3, 5 and 7 were on reaction with hydroxyl amine hydrochloride to yield oximes ligands 8, 9 and 10 respectively. The synthesized oxime ...

The reconstitution of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase from the copper-free protein by the Cu(I)*GSH complex was monitored by: (a) EPR and optical spectroscopy upon reoxidation of the enzyme-bound copper; (6) NMR spectroscopy following the broadening of the resonances of the Cu(I)*GSH complex after addition of Cu-free,Zn-superoxide dismutase; and (c) NMR spectroscopy of the Cu-free,Co(II) enzyme foll...

The metal ion copper is a cofactor essential for maintaining normal biological and physical functions in human beings. High copper levels have been found in variety of tumor tissues and are involved in tumor angiogenesis processes. The ubiquitin-proteasome system plays an important role in cell growth and apoptosis and has been shown as a novel target for cancer therapy. We previously reported ...

BACKGROUND The importance of the isatinic quinolyl hydrazones arises from incorporating the quinoline ring with the indole ring. Quinoline ring has therapeutic and biological activities whereas, the indole ring occurs in Jasmine flowers and Orange blossoms. As a ligand, the isatin moiety is potentially ambidentate and can coordinate the metal ions either through its lactam or lactim forms. In a...

Dicopper(II) complexes of two new 3,5-disubstituted-pyrazole-based ligands, bis(quadridentate) macrocyclic ligand (L1)(2-) and bis(terdentate) acyclic ligand (L2)(-), were synthesised by Schiff base condensation of 3,5-diformylpyrazole and either one equivalent of 1,3-diaminopropane or two equivalents of 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine in the presence of one or two equivalents of copper(II) ions, resp...

BACKGROUND The heterocyclic hydrazones constitute an important class of biologically active drug molecules. The hydrazones have also been used as herbicides, insecticides, nematocides, redenticides, and plant growth regulators as well as plasticizers and stabilizers for polymers. The importance of the phenolic quinolyl hydrazones arises from incorporating the quinoline ring with the phenolic co...

New nitroimidazole and glucosamine conjugated heteroscorpionate ligands, namely 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-N-(2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)acetamide (L(MN)) and 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-{[bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetyl]amino}-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (L(DAC)), respectively, were synthesized by direct coupling of preformed side chain acid and amine components. ...
