3-mercapto-5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenylazo-1')-1,2,4-triazole (METRIAP), 3-mercapto-5-(2,4-dihydroxy-3-carboxyphenylazo-1)-1,2,4-triazole (METRIAREZ-gamma) and 2-mercapto-5-(2,4-dihydroxy-5-carboxyphenylazol-)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (METIDAREZ-beta), reagents synthesized in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry of Medical University in Lublin, have been used to determine Fe(II) and Zn(II) in Materna, Centrum, H-Pantoten pharmaceutical multivitamin preparations, containing other trace elements. Zn (II) with METRIAREZ-gamma at pH=7.35, and Fe(II) with METRIAP and METIDAREZ-beta at pH=10.30 or 7.40 constitute soluble in H2O colourful chelate compound at a mole ratio of 1:2 and 1:3, respectively. Volume stability constant of Fe(II) and Zn(II) complexes is equal to log K(METRIAP-Fe(II)) = 16.46; log K(METRIAREZ-beta-Fe(II)) = 14.253; log K(METRIAREZ-gammaZn(II)) = 11.47. Fe(III) and Zn(II) solutions were obtained by wet mineralisation of Materna, Centrum and H-Pantoten preparations with concentrated H2SO4 and 30% H2O2 added. Spectrophotometric determination was carried out in an aqueous-methanolic solution environment. Statistically evaluated results were compared with the results of the AAS (atomic absorption spectrophotometry) determination method. Advantages of the Fe(II) and Zn(II) determination method are its precision RSD = 0.23%-2.09% and repeatability as well as the possibility of Fe(II) determination without the necessity of masking or separating other trace elements.

ConspectusThe redox reactivity of transition metal centers can be augmented by nearby redox-active inorganic or organic moieties. In some cases, these functional groups can even allow a metal center to participate in reactions that were previously inaccessible to both the metal center and the functional group by themselves. Our research groups have been synthesizing and characterizing coordination complexes with polydentate quinol-containing ligands.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a biomedically relevant polymer widely explored as a component of hydrogels. The prevailing approaches for cross-linking HA into hydrogels require chemically modifying the polymer, which can increase processing steps and complicate biocompatibility. Herein, we demonstrate an alternative approach to cross-link HA that eliminates the need for chemical modifications by leveraging the interactions between metal cations and the negatively charged, ionizable functional groups on HA.

Acid mine drainage (AMD) contamination poses a severe environmental threat and is a significant risk to human health. There is an urgent need to develop environmentally sustainable and technically viable solutions for water contamination caused by heavy metals. In this study, steel slag (SS) was used as a secondary resource to concurrently remove Fe(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) from AMD.

Article Synopsis
- The 21st century has seen increasing variations of pathogens, leading to significant global health issues, particularly malaria and oxidative damage, which necessitate the search for effective treatments.* -
- Research is focused on the antioxidant potential of transition metal (II) complexes with tridentate Schiff base ligands, as they might enhance both anti-malarial and antioxidant activities, offering a two-fold therapeutic benefit.* -
- Investigations into various metal complexes showed that some, particularly the Hg(II) complex, exhibit strong anti-malarial properties similar to quinine, while Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes demonstrate significant antioxidant capabilities, supported by molecular docking studies to assess their pharmacological interactions.*
