Journal ArticleDOI

Toward a Novel Metal-Based Chemotherapy against Tropical Diseases. 2. Synthesis and Antimalarial Activity in Vitro and in Vivo of New Ruthenium− and Rhodium−Chloroquine Complexes

TL;DR: The Ru derivative 2 was further evaluated against two chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, and it was found to be 2-5 times more active than CQDP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breaking CS bonds with transition metal complexes. A review of molecular approaches to the study of the mechanisms of the hydrodesulfurization reaction

TL;DR: In this article, the main mechanistic pathways that have been proposed to occur on surfaces for HDS of thiophenes of metal complexes are summarized and reviewed. But despite the large scale industrial applications of the HDS process, and the considerable number of studies of this reaction on heterogeneous catalysts, the mechanisms involved are not yet clearly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward a novel metal-based chemotherapy against tropical diseases. 3. Synthesis and antimalarial activity in vitro and in vivo of the new gold-chloroquine complex [Au(PPh3)(CQ)]PF6

TL;DR: The new complex [Au(PPh3)(CQ)]PF6 (1) which was found to be considerably more active than CQ diphosphate and other previously reported metal−CQ complexes against two chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metal complexes as chemotherapeutic agents against tropical diseases: trypanosomiasis, malaria and leishmaniasis.

TL;DR: In this review, advances in the use of metal complexes for the treatment of trypanosomiasis, malaria, and leishmaniasis as important representatives of the general area of tropical diseases is described.
