Interaction of Fe(III) with herbicide-carboxylato ligands. Di-, tri- and tetra-nuclear compounds: Structure, antimicrobial study and DNA interaction

Synthesis, structure and interactions with DNA of novel tetranuclear, [Mn4(II/II/II/IV)] mixed valence complexes

“…We have also initiated studies on the co-ordination chemistry of carboxylate-containing herbicides with Mn(II) and Mn(III) metal ions in an attempt to examine their mode(s) of binding and possible biological relevance [32][33][34][35][36][37]. In addition, we have reported [38][39][40] studies on the effect of polynuclear metal complexes on the integrity and electrophoretic mobility of nucleic acids. Antifungal and antibacterial properties of a range of metal complexes have been evaluated against several pathogenic fungi and bacteria [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52].…”

Interaction of copper(II) with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs naproxen and diclofenac: Synthesis, structure, DNA- and albumin-binding

“…A thorough survey of the literature has revealed that the structure-activity relationship has been studied for cobalt [33], copper [34,35], iron [36], vanadyl [37], platinum [38][39][40][41][42][43][44] and ruthenium [45] complexes with diverse ligands. The biological properties related to the structure are the anticancer activity [38,39], the antimicrobial activity [35][36][37] and the DNA-binding [33][34][35][36][37][40][41][42][43][44] since the interaction with DNA may be a principal target of metals or complexes in the cancer cells [46][47][48][49].…”

A new μ-oxo di-iron complex with suitable features to mimic metallohydrolase activity: X-ray molecular structure, aqua solution behavior and nuclease activity of the complex [Fe(HPClNOL)(SO4)]2-μ-oxo

“…Nuclease activity of mononuclear, dinuclear and tetranuclear iron compounds, which act via a hydrolytic mechanism, have been reported [7,[10][11][12][13]. One of the most active compounds was described by Liu and co-workers, which have demonstrated that the compound Fe 2 (DTPB)(l-O)(l-Ac)Cl(BF 4 ) 2 is very efficient in promoting DNA hydrolysis due to the ideal intermetallic distance and due to the presence of labile ligands [11].…”
