A Schiff base complex of chromium(III): an efficient inhibitor for the pathogenic and invasive potential of Shigella dysenteriae

Stepwise substitution of oxo-centered, trinuclear chromium(III) carboxylates with Schiff base

“…[6]. Moreover, Schiff base complexes of chromium(III) have been used for construction of artificial metalloenzymes [7], active catalysts [8] and efficient inhibitors for the pathogenic and invasive potential of microbes [9]. Furthermore, preparation of mixed-ligand complexes of chromium(III) raises a remarkable challenge in the field of material and coordination chemistry [10].…”

Synthesis and characterization of dendrimeric melamine cored [salen/salophFe(III)] and [salen/salophCr(III)] capped complexes and their magnetic behaviors

“…Out of the two stable oxidation states of chromium, -VI and -III, trivalent chromium has been shown to play a positive role in controlling carbohydrate and lipid metabolism [22]. A Schiff base complex of chromium(III), [Cr(salen)(OH 2 ) 2 ] + , was found to enhance insulin activity, and insulin derived with the same was found to exhibit higher activity in glucose metabolism in animal models when compared with either free insulin or other derivatives [23,24]. Their asymmetric catalytic reactions have been described including oxidations, additions and reductions such as epoxidation of olefins, epoxide ring opening [25][26][27][28][29].…”

Systhesis and Characterization of Some Chromium (Iii) Schiff Base Complexes

“…Infect Schiff bases are able to stabilize many different metals in various oxidation states, controlling the performance of metal and a large variety of useful catalytic transformations 15,16 . Chromium(III) complexes containing schiff bases and substituted benzimidazole / benzoxazole have attracted many workers [17][18][19] due to their biological, pharmacological, clinical and analytical importance. The biologically important form of chromium is the trivalent ion, Cr3 + , which is required for carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in mammals 20 .…”
