In the title compound, (C(4)H(8)N(3)O)(2)[CdCl(4)], the asymmetric unit comprises two creatininium cations and one tetra-chloridocadmate anion. Cd⋯O secondary bonding links one of the two imidazole rings and the anion into ion pairs. The free and bound cations form layers between which the [CdCl(4)](2-) anions are sandwiched. The Cd(II) atom adopts a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry in w...

The study was designed to investigate the role of magnesium (Mg) pretreatment on reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in kidney, liver and testis of mice intoxicated with cadmium (Cd). Animals were divided into four groups: I--controls, II--Cd group: mice intoxicated with Cd, III--Mg+Cd group: mice given Mg 1 h before Cd, and IV--Mg group: mice given only Mg. In acute time--response studies, the si...

The major route of cadmium (Cd) intake by non-smokers is through food ingestion. Cd is a non-essential metal absorbed through one or more transporters of essential metal ions. Expression of these transporters is affected by nutritional status. To investigate the risk factors for Cd toxicity, the effects of deficiency of essential metals on hepatic and renal accumulation of Cd were studied in mi...

The present study focuses on the interaction between cadmium (Cd) and the Na, K-ATPase system in in vitro grown vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from the rat carotid artery. In disrupted VSMCs rendered permeable by osmotic shock, Cd inhibited Na, K-ATPase; I50 was reached at 10(-5) M Cd. Mg-ATPase was also inhibited by Cd; I50 was attained at concentrations of 10(-4) M Cd. Cd inhibi...

In the title compound, [Cd(C(10)H(8)O(4))(C(13)H(14)N(2))](n), two symmetry-related Cd atoms are bridged by two carboxyl-ate O atoms into a binuclear Cd(2) subunit around an inversion center. The Cd atom has a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal environment, defined by five O atoms from three different 1,3-phenylendiacetate (1,3-pda) ligands and two N atoms from two 1,3-di-4-pyridyl-propane (bpp)...

In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd(2)(C(13)H(12)NOS(2))(4)], pairs of dithio-carbamate ligands exhibit different structural functions. Each of the terminal ligands is bidentately coordinated to one Cd(II) atom and forms a planar four-membered CS(2)Cd chelate ring, whereas pairs of the tridentate bridging ligands link two neighbouring Cd(II) atoms, forming extended eight-membered C(2)S(4...
