Metal-containing Complexes of Lactams, Imidazoles, and Benzimidazoles and Their Biological Activity

Vibrational and theoretical study of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid binding mode in Ce(III) and Nd(III) complexes

“…As it was already reported in the literature the biological activity of some coumarin derivatives significantly enhances by binding to metal ions [18,19]. Generally, the increasing activities of the complexes are attributed to the synergistic effect that increases their lipophilicity [20]. The increased lipophilicities of the complexes permit easy penetration into the lipid membranes of the organism and facilitate the blockage of the metal binding sites in enzymes.…”

Lanthanide(III) and Yttrium(III) Complexes ofBenzimidazole‐2‐Acetic Acid: Synthesis, Characterisation and Effect of La(III) Complex on Germination of Wheat

“…Especially benzimidazole-containing heterocyclic moieties have found extensive use in agriculture [9]. The lanthanide complexes of a few selected compounds have exhibited fungicidal and bactericidal activities including regulating the growth of plants [10–14]. …”

Synthesis and crystal structure of octa(ε-caprolactam)neodymium(III) hexa(isothiocyanate)chromate(III)

“…It is cheap, commercially available compound widely produced in chemical industry. Some complexes of metal salts with e-caprolactam are known to be potentially biologically active compounds [3][4][5].For many years, we have been systematically investigating the mixed-metal mixed ligand complexes of transition metals with NCS À , dimethylsulfoxide, caprolactam and some other organic ligands [6,7]. The aim of the present study is to synthesize and structurally characterize the complex [NdL 8 ][Cr(NCS) 6 ] (1) (L = e-caprolactam, C 6 H 13 NO).…”
