Abstract:The bioorganometallic compounds 2-cyrhetrenyl-5-nitro-benzimidazole (Bzn-1) and 2-ferrocenyl-5-nitro-benzimidazole (Bzn-2) have been proposed as potential anti-Trypanosoma cruzi agents. In this regard, electrochemical, electron spin resonance and biological studies were carried out. Cyclic voltammetry experiments showed the generation of nitro anion radical derivatives and a self-protonation process was observed. Nitro anion radicals generated were characterized and analyzed using electron spin resonance spect… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
