In Honour of the 70th Birthday of Professor Luis A. Oro

“…Additionally, the antifungal results showed that Co II and Pt II complexes have good anti‐yeast activity against Candida species (MICs, 80 μg · mL –1 ). Since multi‐drug resistant microorganisms pose a serious challenge to the medical community in many countries around the world and there is an urgent need to develop new agents 42–44. Consequently, the [Cu(L)(AcO)] · 4H 2 O compound may be a new potential antimicrobial substance against bacteria and fungi.…”

Synthesis of some transition metal complexes of novel 1-methylpyrazole-3-aldehyde-4-(2-pyridyl) thiosemicarbazone: Spectroscopic and in vitro biological activity studies

“…Thiosemicarbazones have been extensively studied because they have a wide range of actual or potential medical applications [1][2][3][4][5][6] which include notably antiparasital [5], antibacterial [6] antitumor activities [7], antiviral [8], fungicidal [9] and antineoplastic [10]. In general, thiosemicarbazones are obtained by condensation of the corresponding thiosemicarbazide with aldehydes or ketones.…”

Nickel(II) complexes of novel thiosemicarbazone compounds: Synthesis, characterization, molecular modeling and in vitro antimicrobial activity

“…In recent years, the number of life-threatening infection diseases caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria has reached an alarming level in many countries around the world [1]. More than 50 million people worldwide are infected and up to 110,000 of these die every year.…”
