salicylaldehyde/necrosis

We have recently screened 36 analogues of the lipophilic iron (Fe) chelator, pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH), for their antiproliferative effect (Richardson et al, Blood 86:4295, 1995). Of these compounds, 1 chelator derived from salicylaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone (206) and 4 ligands derived

A series of surfactant-copper(II) Schiff base complexes (1-6) of the general formula, [Cu(sal-R2)2] and [Cu(5-OMe-sal-R2)2], {where, sal=salicylaldehyde, 5-OMe-sal=5-methoxy- salicylaldehyde, and R2=dodecylamine (DA), tetradecylamine (TA), or cetylamine (CA)} have been synthesized and characterized

Iron chelating agents, which permeate through erythrocytic and parasite membranes, are effective against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. However, the protective effect in humans is transient. We examined the antiplasmodial capacity of several iron chelators in vitro and in vivo. The chelators

Recent evidence suggests that oxidative stress is a common denominator in many aspects of cardiovascular pathogenesis. Free cellular iron plays a crucial catalytic role in the formation of highly toxic hydroxyl radicals, and thereby it may aggravate the contribution of oxidative stress to
