BACKGROUND The natural polyether ionophorous antibiotics are used for the treatment of coccidiosis in poultry and ruminants. They are effective agents against infections caused by Gram-positive microorganisms. On the other hand, it was found that some of these compounds selectively bind lead(II) ions in in vivo experiments, despite so far no Pb(II)-containing compounds of defined composition ha...

       Keeping in view the promising potential of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor based antimicrobials and enhancement of carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activity by metal complexes of sulfonamides, with an aim to develop better antimicrobial agents we have attempted investigation of antimicrobial activity of metal complexes of 4-(2'-hydroxy phenyl imino) phenyl sulphonamide. Sulfanilamide was taken...

Seven reported xanthate ligands and their new Fe(II) complexes of formulaNa[Fe(R-OCSS)3], where R is ethyl-, propyl-, butyl-, pentyl-, Hexyl-, heptyl- and octyl-xanthate have been synthesized. They have been characterized using elemental analysis, molar conductance, FT-IR, UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques and melting-, decomposition-points for ligand...

The corrosion inhibition performance of acetylacetonate complexes of zinc(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II) and copper(II) on the mild steel substrate in 1M H3PO4 was studied using DC polarization. It was seen that the mentioned complexes decreased corrosion rate of mild steel in phosphoric acid media due to the adsorption on metal surface. The potential of mild steel shifted toward more active po...

The observations of Pa\l=r%v\\l=i'\zek& Zahor (1956) and Pa\l=r%v\\l=i'\zek(1957a, b) on the selective destructive effect of cadmium on the testis of the rat and mouse have since been confirmed by Meek (1959), Kar & Das (1960), Gunn, Gould & Anderson (1961), Allanson & Deanesly (1962), Chiquoine (1964), Mason, Brown, Young & Nesbit (1964) and others. During studies on the induction of interstit...

Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were applied to characterize low, medium, and high molecular weight cadmium complexes with glutathione and phytochelatins (PCs). The dominant stoichiometry of the complexes formed in vitro was established as 1:1 using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. C...
