Article Synopsis
  • * The complexes were analyzed and characterized through various techniques, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a distorted square planar geometry with specific ligand interactions.
  • * Cytotoxicity tests showed that the chloro-complex exhibited greater effectiveness against a leukemia cell line compared to the chemotherapy drug cisplatin, while being less toxic to healthy cells.

A thiosemicarbazone-based iron(III) complex is prepared and used in the preparation of a supercapacitor electrode material. This electrode is produced by a solvothermal reaction of polypyrrole and the complex on carbon felt. The characterization of the complex and material is carried out using UV-vis, elemental analysis, FT-IR, XRD, BET, and TGA methods, and the surface morphology is examined using SEM technique.

Diabetic people have a much higher rate of cardiovascular disease than healthy people. Therefore, heart and aortic tissues are target tissues in diabetic research. In recent years, the synthesis of new vanadium complexes and investigation of their antidiabetic/lowering effect on the blood glucose levels and antioxidant properties are increasing day by day.

Diabetes is usually accompanied by increased production of free radicals or impaired antioxidant defenses. The brain is a target tissue of the oxidative attacks caused by diabetes, and there are observed changes in the biochemical parameters of this tissue in the hyperglycemic state. In this study, we aimed to show the effect of N(1)-2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene-N(4)-2-hydroxybenzylidene-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazidato-oxovanadium (IV) (VOL) compound on diabetic damaged brain tissue, induced by streptozotocin (STZ) on 3.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is chronic and metabolic disorder, which is mainly attributed by hyperglycemia. Vanadium salts and their oxo-complexes have been shown to possess insulin-mimetic and anti-diabetic activities in animal models and diabetic patients. The main goal of this study was to investigate the protective effect of oxovanadium(IV) complex based on thiosemicarbazone (VOL) [L: (N(1)-2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene-N-(4)-2-hydroxybenzylidene-S-methyl-isothiosemicarbazidato-oxovanadium(IV)] on glycoprotein components levels and oxidative lung injury of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Vanadium compounds are being investigated as potential therapeutic agents in the treatment of many health problems, primarily diabetes. We aimed to provide the effect of N(1)-4-hydroxysalicylidene-N(4)-salicylidene-S-methyl-isothiosemicarbazidato-oxovanadium(IV) (VOL) on small intestinal injury in experimental male diabetic rats. Four groups were created of 3.

Iron(III) and nickel(II) complexes bearing a thiosemicarbazone framework were synthesized by a one-pot synthesis method. The structures were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, H NMR, APCI Mass, conductivity, magnetic moment measurements. Molecular and crystal structures of the iron(III) complex were obtained from single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The title thiosemicarbazidatodioxouranium(VI) compound was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies. Solid-state structure of the compound was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Besides, the molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies and gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shift values of the compound in the ground state have been calculated using the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set for the C, H, Cl, N, O, S atoms and SDD pseudo-potential for the U atom, and compared with the experimental data.

The nickel(II), iron(III) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes of the N2O2 chelating thiosemicarbazones were synthesized using 4-hydroxysalicyladehyde-S-methylthiosemicarbazone and R1-substitute-salicylaldehyde (R1: 4-OH, H) in the presence of Ni(II), Fe(III), VO(IV) ions by the template reaction. The structures of the thiosemicarbazone complexes were characterized by FT-IR, (1)H NMR, elemental, ESI-MS and APCI-MS analysis. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antioxidant capacity by using the cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) method.

The stable uranyl complexes, [UO(2)(L)C(9)H(19)OH], were obtained from 3,5-dichlorosalicyl-(L(I)) and salicyl-aldehyde-S-propyl-thiosemicarbazones (L(II)) with substituted-salicylaldehyde in nonyl alcohol. The structures of the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR, conductivity, magnetic moment measurements, cyclic voltammetry, thermal gravimetric analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The U(VI) centre is seven-coordinated in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry.

The S-methyl-thiosemicarbazones of the 2-hydroxy-R-benzaldehyde (R = H, 3-OH 3-OCH(3) or 4-OCH(3)) reacted with the corresponding aldehydes in the presence of FeCl(3) and NiCl(2). New ONNO chelates of iron(III) and nickel(II) with hydroxy- or methoxy-substituted N(1),N(4)-diarylidene-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazones were characterized by means of elemental analysis, conductivity and magnetic measurements, UV-Vis, IR and (1)H-NMR spectroscopies. Cytotoxic activities of the compounds were determined using K562 chronic myeloid leukemia and ECV304 human endothelial cell lines by MTT assay.

A new oxovanadium(IV) chelate [VOL] (L: N(1)-2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene-N(4)-2-hydroxybenzylidene-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazidato) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity and magnetic measurements, UV-vis, IR, EPR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The biochemical and immunohistochemical effects of the administration of the vanadium complex (VOL) into the pancreas of normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were profoundly investigated. The animals were randomly divided into four groups.
