Abstract:Two N-(2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)ethyl)quinoline-2-carboxamides and two N-(2-(bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino)ethyl)quino-line-2-carboxamides have been synthesized. These structures contain five nitrogen atoms that can form coordinate bonds with metal ions such as Mn(II) and Fe(II). An additional coordinating bond can be formed between the metal ion and a neutral molecule of nitric oxide (NO). The resultant complexes are potentially useful agents for targeted delivery of NO to in vivo biological sites such… 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.
