Phytochemical and antiplasmodial studies of five ethnobotanically-selected South African medicinal plants.
(2019)Vachellia xanthophloea, Euclea natalensis, Ozoroa obovata, Gardenia thunbergia, and Pappea capensis are traditionally used to treat malaria/fever in Africa. Previous studies showed that the extracts of V. xanthophloea, G. ... -
Synthesis of non-water-soluble and water-soluble Pd(II) complexes as catalysts for methoxycarbonylation reaction of olefins.
(2021)The treatments of (E)-2-(((2-methoxyethyl)imino)methyl)phenol (L1H), (E)-2-(((2-hydroxyethyl)imino)methyl)phenol (L2H) (E)-3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-(((2-hydroxyethyl)imino)methyl)phenol (L3H) with Pd(OAc)2 afforded the corresponding ... -
Synthesis, characterisation and biological studies of copper(I) and copper(II) pyridinyl Schiff base complexes.
(2019)Coordination complexes have numerous applications ranging from industrial processes to pharmaceuticals. Schiff base ligands, along with copper(I) and copper(II) metal complexes have been investigated and reported in the ... -
Synthesis, morphological, optical and photocatalytic studies of lead sulfide and tin sulfide nanoparticles.
(2022)Five dithiocarbamate ligands were synthesized from morpholine, thiomorpholine, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)aniline, 4-methylpiperidine, and 4-benzylpiperidine. Five lead(II) dithiocarbamate and five tin(II) dithiocarbamate complexes ... -
Heteroleptic copper (II) chemotherapeutic agents.
(2019)In this study, a range of heteroleptic copper(II) chelates were synthesized as chemotherapeutic agents. Two primary heteroleptic copper(II) chelates, [Cu(L)(H2O)2]NO3 and [Cu(L1)(H2O)2]NO3 were successfully synthesized and ... -
Structure-activity relationship studies of anti-diabetic dioxidovanadium(V) benzimidazole complexes.
(2022)Organovanadium compounds have been widely investigated for the potential use in Diabetes Mellitus. However, most of these metal complexes has failed during studies using in vivo Streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rat models and ... -
Synthesis, characterization and the antimicrobial effect of diiodothiocyanate (I₂SCN-) on escherichia coli and enterococcus faecalis.
(2022)The threat posed by antimicrobial resistance is rising to dangerously high levels worldwide. However, chemical species such as iodide-based interpseudohalogen are attracting attention as potential new class of antimicrobials. ... -
