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 …

We have synthesized novel organoiridium (III) antimicrobial complexes containing a
chelated biguanide, including the antidiabetic drug metformin. These 16-and 18-electron …

The growing concern about the emergence of increasingly antibiotic-r4esistant bacteria
imposes the need to search and develop drugs to combat these microorganisms. This …

Three ruthenium/iron-based compounds, 1:[Ru (MIm)(bipy)(dppf)] PF 6 (MIm= 2-mercapto-1-
methylimidazole anion), 2:[RuCl (Im)(bipy)(dppf)] PF 6 (Im= imidazole), and 3:[Ru …

The search for less expensive and viable products is always one of the challenges for
research development. Commonly, the synthesis of coordination compounds involves …

Two new heterobimetallic ruthenium (II) complexes with general formula [Ru
(NS)(bipy)(dppf)] PF 6 (bipy= 2, 2'-bipyridine, NS= 2-mercaptothiazolinate–mctz−(1) and 2 …

Mononuclear transition metal complexes 1‐(furan‐2‐yl) ethyldiphenyl [dichloro (η6‐p‐
cymene) ruthenium (II)] phosphinite,(2), 1‐(furan‐2‐yl) ethyldiphenyl [dichloro (η6‐benzene) …

The effects induced by antibiotics on the bacterial membrane may be correlated with their
bactericidal activity, and such molecular-level interactions can be probed with Langmuir …

Several ruthenium complexes have been investigated regarding anti-Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (anti-MTb) activity, with some diphosphine-containing ruthenium complexes …
