Cadmium is a long-living heavy metal, abundantly present in the environment, which accumulates in the body. In this study, we investigated the effects of cadmium on the expression of molecular chaperones, and of certain cell-specific proteins, in a variety of brain cell types in culture, namely primary cultures of rat cortical neurons and astrocytes, a brain capillary endothelial cell line (RB4...

Batch adsorption studies were undertaken with the abundantly available waste biosorbent Tectona grandis L.f. leaf powder for removal of cadmium(II) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption experiments were performed under various conditions such as time, temperature, different initial Cd(II) concentrations, pH, adsorbent dosage, and adsorbent particle size. The data showed that in 30 minutes, 1 g...

In this work, a new cadmium(II) complex namely the (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)(meso-tetrakis(4-tert-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinato)cadmium(II) with formula [Cd(TMPP)(DABCO)] (I) (DABCO = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) was successfully synthetized. The structure of have been characterized by FT-IR, 1HNMR, UV–visible, fluorescence spectroscopies and single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. DFT...

The methods of polarographic analysis have been applied to the study of dilute aqueous solutions of various divalent transition metal cations coordinated to p-toluenesulfonyl glycine. Metal cations used were cadmium (II), copper (II), lead (II), mercury (II), manganese (II) and zinc (II). Six new and previously unreported compounds were prepared and studied polarographically, and their dissocia...

New metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on zinc and cadmium ions, terephthalic acid, and flexible ligands 1,5-bis(imidazol-1-yl)pentane or 1,6-bis(imidazol-1-yl)hexane were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermorgavimetric analysis and IR spectroscopy. The imidazolyl ligands were prepared by a new robust procedure involving the reaction between imidazole and 1,5-dibromopentan...

Objective The objective of the study was to determine whether the cadmium-derived materials induce intracellular protein citrullination. Methods Human A549 lung epithelial cells were exposed to cadmium in soluble and nanoparticulate forms represented by cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and cadmium oxide (CdO), respectively, and their combinations with ultrafine carbon black (ufCB) produced by high te...

We describe the synthesis and characterization of two new zinc (II) and cadmium (II) complexes of the tetradentate dissymmetric Schiff base ligand 2-((E)-(2-(2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethylthio)ethylimino)methyl)-4-bromophenol (PytBrsalH), prepared from 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-thia-5-aminopentane (pyta) and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde. The complexes were synthesized by treating an ethanolic solution of the ligand wi...

Cadmium is a toxic pollutant that harmful to the environment and humans. The purpose of this research was develop method for cadmium(II) detection using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) glassy carbon electrode. developed then applied cadmium in vegetable samples which water spinach. optimized several parameters such as potential window, deposition potential, time, scan ra...

Objective and Study Design: The present study has been undertaken to evaluate the protective efficacy of lycopene on cadmium induced toxicity in heart of albino mice. Materials and Methods: 24 Albino mice were divided into four groups. Group I mice were kept as control. Group II animals were administered a single dose of cadmium chloride (0.32mg/kg bw) intraperitoneally. Group III animals were ...

Chemical speciation of soil cadmium (Cd) dictates its mobility and potential toxicity in the environment. Our objective was to compare temporal changes in speciation of Cd(II) reacted with samples from six Brazilian soils having varying Cd(II) sorption capacities. Cadmium L-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis showed there were short-term changes in speciation after reacti...
