Hepatocarcinogenesis is a prerequisite to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is one of the most common cancers among humans. Therefore, it is important to search for agents that protect against hepatocarcinogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of a combination of taurine and curcumin against experimental hepatocarcinogenesis induced by diethyl nitrosamine (D...

The centrosymmetric mol-ecule in the monomeric title cobalt complex, [Co(C10H11O2)2(C10H14N2O)2(H2O)2], contains two water mol-ecules, two 2,4,6-tri-methyl-benzoate (TMB) ligands and two di-ethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands. All ligands coordinate to the Co(II) atom in a monodentate fashion. The four O atoms around the Co(II) atom form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, with the di...

In the monomeric centrosymmetric title Ni(II) complex, [Ni(C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Ni(II) ion is located on an inversion center. The asymmetric unit contains one 2-bromo-benzoate ligand, one diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligand and one coordinated water mol-ecule. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Ni(II) ion form a slightly distorted square-planar ...

The title Mn(II) complex, [Mn(C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is centrosymmetric. The mol-ecule contains two 2-bromo-benzoate (BB) and two diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands and two water mol-ecules, all ligands being monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Mn atom form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the distorted octa-hedral c...

In the centrosymmetric title complex, [Zn(C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Zn(II) atom is located on an inversion center. The asymmetric unit contains one 2-bromo-benzoate (BB), one diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligand and one coordinating water molecule. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Zn atom form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while th...

In the mononuclear title compound, [Co(C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Co(II) ion is located on a crystallographic inversion center. The asymmetric unit is completed by one 2-bromo-benzoate anion, one diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligand and one coordinated water mol-ecule; all ligands are monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around Co(II) form a slightly d...

In the monomeric and centrosymmetric title Ni(II) complex, [Ni(C(7)H(4)ClO(2))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Ni(II) ion is located on an inversion center. The asymmetric unit contains one 2-chloro-benzoate ligand, one diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligand and one coordinating water mol-ecule, the ligands being monodentate. The four O atoms in the equatorial plane around the Ni(II) ion for...

Hepatocarcinogenesis was induced in Sprague Dawley rats by injecting diethylnitrosamine (DENA); 150 mg/kg body weight, ip, a well known liver carcinogen and a mutagenic agent. Concurrent with the induction of hepatocarcinoma, psychological stress was also elicited from the changes in brain neurotransmitters. Noradrenaline and dopamine, the neurotransmitters of sympathetic system were estimated ...

In the title centrosymmetric mononuclear Ni(II) compound, [Ni(C(8)H(5)O(3))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the central Ni(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms from two 4-formyl-benzoate (FOB) ligands, two O atoms from two water mol-ecules and two N atoms from two diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands. The coordination geometry is slightly distorted octa-hedral, with four O atoms in the equa...
