“…Many nitrogen containing macrocyclic compounds are found as fragments of many natural products, fine chemicals and several biologically active compounds [ 7 ]. Various nitrogen-containing macrocyclic ligands have been reportedly used as antifungal [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], antibacterial [ 5 , 10 , 11 ], hypolipidemic [ 12 ], anticancer [ 13 ], antihistaminic [ 14 ], analgesic [ 15 , 16 ], antitubercular [ 17 , 18 ], anticonvulsant [ 19 ], anti-inflammatory [ 15 , 16 , 20 ] anti-tumor [ 8 ] and anti-HIV agents [ 21 ]. Their potential applications as corrosion inhibitors cannot be ruled out because compounds with N, S, O and P heteroatoms are generally known to possess anticorrosion properties and the corrosion inhibition potentials of a number of macrocycles have been reported [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”
