Journal ArticleDOI
Through metal binding, curcumin protects against lead- and cadmium-induced lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenates and against lead-induced tissue damage in rat brain.
TL;DR: The results of the study show that there is an interaction between curcumin and both cadmium and lead, with the possible formation of a complex between the metal and this ligand, implying that curcuming could be used therapeutically to chelate these toxic metals, thus potentially reducing their neurotoxicity and tissue damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Curcuminoids, curcumin, and demethoxycurcumin reduce lead-induced memory deficits in male Wistar rats.
TL;DR: The findings of this study indicate that curcumin, a well-established dietary antioxidant, is capable of playing a major role against heavy metal-induced neurotoxicity and has neuroprotective properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Batch studies on the removal of gold(III) from aqueous solution by Azolla filiculoides
TL;DR: Azolla filiculoides removed 86% and 100% of gold(III) from initial metal solutions of 2−10 mg gold l−1 increasing with increased initial concentrations of gold (III) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of a cobalt-2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate MOF with potential application in electrochemical sensing
TL;DR: In this paper, a new coordination compound using 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and cobalt(II) was synthesized by slow evaporation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The infrared spectra of ethylenediamine complexes—II. Tris-, bis- and mono(ethylenediamine) complexes of metal(II) halides
TL;DR: In this paper, the i.r. spectra of the complexes M(en)3X2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; X = Cl, Br, I) have been studied.
