The widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of drug-resistant
populations of microorganisms. Clearly, one can see the need to develop new, more …

Ruthenium is seldom mentioned in microbiology texts, due to the fact that this metal has no
known, essential roles in biological systems, nor is it generally considered toxic. Since the …

This study reports on the synthesis of a new ruthenium (II) complex, cis-[Ru (PPh 3) 2 (lap)
2](1) with two molecules of the natural product known as lapachol [lap=(2-hydroxy-3-(3 …

Traditional platinum (Pt)‐based drugs have limited use in cancer treatment because of their
toxicity, which generates the need for new Pt complexes with effective anticancer activity …

Three new platinum (II) complexes with pendent morpholine were synthesized, namely
complex 1 ([Pt (L) Cl] CF 3 SO 3), complex 2 ([Pt (L)(NH 3)](CF 3 SO 3) 2) and complex 3 ([Pt …

Infection caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii and Enterococcus
faecium can be difficult to treat. New biocidal products are needed in order to reduce the …

Novel terpyridine ligands with one and two terminal aurophilic sulfur containing
fragments,(S)-11-(4-([2, 2′: 6′, 2 ″-terpyridin]-4′-yl) phenoxy) undecyl 5-(1, 2-dithiolan-3 …

The photoactivated drug usage in anti-cancer therapy, the working mechanism of which
doesn't rely on the formation of reactive oxygen species, allows reducing damage to healthy …

The mechanism of biological activity of various sulfur-containing compounds and sulfur
fragments of both natural and synthetic origins is presented. Unique characteristics of …

Methods for the synthesis of new ditopic organic ligands containing coordinating fragments
of two types, terpyridine and thiohydantoin, have been developed. The complex formation …
