The mode of coordination of8 manganese(fI), cobaltm, nickel(H), copper(II), zinc(H), lead(II) and cadmium(I1) to sodium ascorbate (NaHAsc) was investigated using IR, UV-visible, AAS, elemental microanalyzer, conductivity, magnetic and 'M and I3C NMR spectroscopic studies, NaNAsc is bidentate and coordination was through the carbonyl group and the oxygen atom of carbon-2 enolic hydfoxyl grou...

The antimicrobial activity of some novel ascorbic acid-metal complexes [bisascorbate complexes of copper (II), zinc(II), manganese (11), iron (111), cobalt(II), lead(II) and cadmium(II)] was investigated. Four standard strains of bacterial species - Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumonia and four fungal species - Trichophyton sp. Penicillium sp....

Cyclooxygenase (COX) is involved in modulating inflammatory response through the synthesis of prostaglandins. The inducible isoform of the enzyme, COX-2, is overexpressed in some malignant and premalignant lesions. Several preclinical and clinical studies have reported COX-2 inhibition as an effective strategy for chemoprevention. Nonsteroidal anitinflammatory drugs (NASIDs) such as celecoxib, ...

BACKGROUND The coordination chemistry of cadmium(II) with diamine ligands is of particular interest. The most common structure around cadmium(II) center in their complexes is tetrahedral, that is due the octet rule obeyed. Nevertheless, five and six-coordinated complexes are also well known. Now a day, many cadmium(II) complexes with chelate ligands were synthesized for their structural or appl...

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy may be applied to examine interactions of melanin with metal ions and drugs. In this work EPR method was used to examination of changes in free radical system of DOPA-melanin--the model eumelanin after complexing with diamagnetic cadmium(II) ions. Cadmium(II) may affect free radicals in melanin and drugs binding by this polymer, so the knowledg...

a selective and sensitive method for determination of cadmium and zinc is presented. the method is based on adsorptive accumulation of the complexes of cd (ii) and zn (ii) ions with 4-amiono-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3h-1,2,4-triazol-3-tion (mmtt) onto hanging mercury drop electrode (hmde), followed by reduction of the adsorbed species by voltammetric scan using differential pulse modulation. the li...

HYPOTHESIS Phosphate influences the sorption of metals to iron (hydr)oxides. An enhanced formation of inner-sphere complexes on the (hydr)oxide surface can be attributed to electrostatic interactions and/or to changes in metal coordination on the iron (hydr)oxide surface. Phosphate was expected to increase cadmium(II) sorption on ferrihydrite. It should be possible to identify changes in cadmiu...

In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of two new binuclear Cd(II) macrocyclic Schiff base complexes [CdL23pydfp(NO3)], (1), and [CdL33pydfp(NO3)], (2). [1+1] cyclocondensation of L23py = N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(3-aminpropyl)-1,3-diaminoethane and L33py = N-(3-pyridylmethyl)-N-(3-aminpropyl)-1,3-diaminopropane and 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol, dfp, in the presence of Cd(NO3)2....
