Transition Metal Coordination Complexes of Flavonoids: A Class of Better Pharmacological Active Molecules to Develop New Drugs.

Flavonoid metal ion complexes are one of the classes of biologically active molecules with immense pharmacological potential, including antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and anticancer activity, to name a few. The effectiveness of this complexion depends on the state and nature of the transition metal ions and on the position to which the metal ion coordinates with their corresponding parent flavonoid. The metal coordination of flavonoids also improves the biological activities to a maximum extent compared to the parent compound.

Poisoning: A Retrospective Study of 112 Patients.

is a rare but important cause of plant poisoning, especially in tropical countries like India. Most of the published literature on Abrus is limited a few case reports. Hence, we did a retrospective study the clinical features and outcome of Abrus poisoning.
