The “antibiotic era”, characterized by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, over the last half-
century has culminated in the present critical “era of resistance”. The treatment of bacterial …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer 17 are two of the most
prevalent and debilitating respiratory diseases worldwide, both associated with high …

Solution behavior of levofloxacin (lvx) complexes with copper (II) in the presence and
absence of phen was studied in aqueous solution, by potentiometry. The results obtained …

Abstract Four new CoII complexes,[Co (bpy) 2 (acac)] Cl (1),[Co (phen) 2 (acac)] Cl (2),[Co
(bpy) 2 (cur)] Cl (3),[Co (phen) 2 (cur)] Cl (4), where bpy= 2, 2'‐bipyridine (1 and 3), phen= 1 …

Copper (II)(1CuCu–21CuCu) and previously established experimental anticancer platinum
(II) metallointercalator complexes (1PtPt–16PtPt) have been prepared and investigated for …

Microbial resistance to antibiotics is one of the biggest public health threats of the modern
world. Antibiotic resistance is an area of much clinical relevance and therefore research that …

Solution behavior of lomefloxacin (lmx) complexes with copper (II) in the presence and
absence of 1, 10-phenanthroline (phen) was studied in aqueous solution, by potentiometry …

In this study, a new binary complex [Cu (HCip) 2](NO3) 2· 6H2O (1) has been synthesized
and then characterized by X-ray structure analyses. In this compound, each ciprofloxacin …

Iron is an essential nutrient for many microbes. According to the “Trojan Horse Hypothesis”,
biological systems have difficulties distinguishing between Fe3+ and Ga3+, which …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate factors contributing to the differences between
the overall stability constants (logβpqr) of the fluoroquinolone–metal ion complexes. The …
