Journal ArticleDOI

ESR, electrochemical and reactivity studies of antitrypanosomal palladium thiosemicarbazone complexes.

TL;DR: The stoichiometry of the complexes does not seem to affect significantly the hyperfine constants however the authors observed great differences between 5-nitrofurane and 5-Nitrofurylacroleine derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochemical and ESR study of 5-nitrofuryl-containing thiosemicarbazones antiprotozoal drugs.

TL;DR: The theoretical study exhibited an unusual assignment of the spin densities showing a free radical centered in the thiosemicarbazone moiety rather than the nitro which are in agreement with the experimental hyperfine pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adjustments, extinction, and remains of selenocysteine incorporation machinery in the nematode lineage

TL;DR: This study provides evidence of noncanonical translation initiation in C. elegans, not previously known for this well-established animal model, and provides key insights into Sec incorporation and the evolution of Sec utilization trait, selenoproteomes, seLenoproteins, and Sec residues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antitumor and antiparasitic activity of novel ruthenium compounds with polycyclic aromatic ligands.

TL;DR: Five novel ruthenium(II)-arene complexes with polycyclic aromatic ligands were synthesized, and complex 1 was the most potent antitumoral agent, showing high selectivity towards the parasites (selectivity index >100).
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of the metal ion on the anti T. cruzi activity and mechanism of action of 5-nitrofuryl-containing thiosemicarbazone metal complexes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the development of palladium and platinum metal complexes with 5-nitrofuryl-containing thiosemicarbazones (L) as bioactive ligands against T. cruzi and PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) as co-ligand.
