This chapter will focus on the formation processes and fate of the more common methylated metals and metalloids in the aquatic environment, focusing on both the ocean and freshwa‐ ter ecosystems. In addition to the formation of the methylated compounds, the biotic and abiotic degradation of these compounds in the natural environment will also be discussed. The formation pathways and the microbe...

the role of cu, zn and co in human physiology is well documented. isatin and glycine have inhibitory effects on central nervous system. to capitalize on these features metal complexes of isatin-3-glycine were prepared and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity. the cu (ii) complex was found to be most active among the compounds. the compounds were screened against staphylococcus aureus, escheric...

Interest in metal complexes in modern inorganic chemistry has resulted in increasing demands for the analysis of these compounds. This paper reviews the most recent applications of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to the analysis of metal complexes. The review centres on the use of the technique in metal complex syntheses, reactions, characterizations and complexations and retentio...

Despite the introduction of many second-generation antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in the past 15 years, a third of patients with epilepsy remain refractory to available treatments, and newer and more effective therapies are needed. Although our understanding of the mechanisms of drug resistance is fragmented, novel AED targets have been identified, and models of refractory epilepsy have been develo...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: from the thousands of years, metal compounds have been used in medicine for treatment of various diseases including various types of cancers. ruthenium was seen as a promising metal due to its similar kinetics to platinum and its lower toxicity. therefore, we aimed to evaluate the newer mononuclear ruthenium (ii) compounds for antinocice...
