La(III) complex involving the O,N-donor environment of quinazoline-4(3H)-one Schiff’s base and their antimicrobial attributes against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Studies on 4-Bromo-2-{(Z)-[(Furan-2-Ylmethyl) Imino]methyl}phenol Praseodymium Complex

“…Rare earth metal complexes of Schiff base ligands have been examined owing to their structural diversities, remarkable coordination behavior and broad biological applications [1][2][3][4] . Lanthanides showed remarkable differences in coordination numbers and more flexible coordination geometry when compared to transition metals.…”

Hetero-Binuclear Complexes of Lanthanum (Iii) Using Bridging N,n?-Bis(2-Pyridylmethyl)oxamide and Terminal 1,10-Phenanthroline: Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Evaluation

“…La(III) in its stable +3 oxidation state mimics biological ions such as Ca 2+ and K + and hence can be highly beneficial in synthesizing chemical nucleases. [11] La(III) complexes have been used as probes in immunoassays and as MRI agents, [12][13][14] anticancer agents, [15][16][17][18][19] binding agents towards DNA, RNA, proteins and as chemical nucleases, [20][21][22][23][24] antimicrobial agents [25][26][27][28][29][30] as well as antioxidant agents. [31][32] In this view, herein we report the synthesis and characterization of mononuclear as well as hetero-binuclear complexes containing lanthanum(III), copper(II) or nickel(II) ion bridged by versatile ligand N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)oxamide and ancillary ligand 1,10-phenanthroline which is a classical DNA intercalator.…”
