“…A potential benefit of utilizing this approach is that the carbohydrate can remain pendant, thereby being freely available to interact with carbohydrate transport and metabolic pathways in the body. Examples of this approach in medicinal inorganic chemistry include carbohydrate‐appended cisplatin analogues as potent antitumour agents,13, 15 antifungal Ni II complexes derived from amino sugars,16 as well as carbohydrate‐appended metal complexes of the radioisotopes 99m Tc and 186 Re for potential use in nuclear imaging and therapy 8. 11, 14 In many cases however the resultant metal complexes exhibit binding of the carbohydrate moiety to the metal center which limits the targeting potential of these compounds.…”

“…28 Antifungal activity of NiCl 2 •6H 2 O and nickel(II) complexes derived from amino sugars against C. albicans was reported by Yano et al with MIC values in the 200-250 µM range, which is 2.5-5-fold higher in comparison to the MIC values of 1-3. 29 Furthermore, the complexes from the present study showed better anti-Candida activities in comparison to nickel(II) complexes with pyrazoline-based ligand, which had MIC values ranging from 100 -1000 µg mL -1 . 30 It was shown that certain selectivity against Candida strains by nickel(II) compounds was due to the competitive inhibition of fungal chitinase (chitin-degradation enzyme).…”

“…30 It was shown that certain selectivity against Candida strains by nickel(II) compounds was due to the competitive inhibition of fungal chitinase (chitin-degradation enzyme). 29 In parallel, to determine the applicability of complexes 1-3 as potential antifungals, their in vitro cytotoxicity against healthy human lung fibroblasts was examined (Table II, Fig. 2).…”

“…Their activity has frequently been thought to be due to their ability to chelate trace metals (Chandra and Gupta, 2005). Moreover, Nickel (II) complex derived from aminosugars showed effective antifungal activity against pathogenic Yeast, Candida albicans with MIC, this complex act as inhibitor for chitinase (chitin-degradation enzyme) enzyme of C. albicans (Yano et al, 1998). In addition, Nickel (II) complex of 5-methyl 2-furfural thiosemicarbazonehave carried out in vitro for antifungal activity on human pathogenic fungi, Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans , and in vivo for toxicity on mice (Jouad et al, 2001).…”
