Sea-water samples collected by a variety of clean sampling techniques yielded consistent results for copper, cadmium, zinc, and nickel, which implies that representative, uncontaminated samples were obtained. A dithiocarbamate extraction method coupled with atomic absorption spectrometry and electro,thermal atomization is described which is essentially 100% quantitative for each of the four met...

Nano dithiocarbamate (DTC) complex have been prepared by reaction between dithiocarbamate and metal salt under ultrasound irradiation. Reaction conditions such as the ligand DTC and phennantroline concentration, aging time and the ultrasonic device power show important roles in the size, morphology and growth process of the final products. The dithiocarbamate complex nanoparticles have been pre...

We have discovered two metal ion binding compounds, pyrithione (PT) and hinokitiol (HK), that efficiently inhibit human rhinovirus, coxsackievirus, and mengovirus multiplication. Early stages of virus infection are unaffected by these compounds. However, the cleavage of the cellular eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4GI by the rhinoviral 2A protease was abolished in the presence of PT...

Dithiocarbamates, with their high lipophilic character and good chelating properties, could provide stabile transition metal complexes enable these metal-based drugs to reach biological targets. Palladium(II) gold(III) complexes, due its structural similarity platinum(II)compounds, be competitive candidates for implementing developing new pharmacological agents. Herein, novel complex triammoniu...

Mo The polymeric [PdCl(dithiocarbamate)]n complexes, in which the ligand ion is dimethyldithiocarbamate (DMDT), pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PyDT, (CH2)4NCS2 ) and sarcosine ethyl ester dithiocarbamate (ESDT, EtO2CCH2N(CH...

Previously, it was shown that pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) inhibits proteolytic polyprotein processing and replication of human rhinovirus by transporting metal ions into cells. Here, it is shown that PDTC also inhibits replication of two other picornaviruses: coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), a closely related virus that belongs to the genus Enterovirus, and mengovirus, an encephalomyocarditis v...

A simple and homogeneous green liquid–liquid microextraction based on temperature-controlled ionic liquid (IL) process was developed for the selective extraction spectrophotometric analysis of zinc (II) ethylenebis (dithiocarbamate) (zineb) from different foodstuff samples including rice, wheat, corn, oat, cabbage, potato, tomato grain. The effect various parameters like pH, IL dose, temperatur...
