FROM SYNTHESIS TO STABILITY: ANTIOXIDANT AND THERMAL TRAITS IN ZN(II), FE(II), AND MN(II) COMPLEXES WITH THIOPHENE-CARBOXYLATE LIGAND
Mehmet Yılmaz
Schiff-base ligands featuring heterocyclic moieties and heteroatoms such as N, O, and S have garnered significant attention in the realm of chemistry and biology due to their diverse biological activities and their remarkable interactions with transition metal ions. These complexes have been identified as effective and stereo-specific catalysts for a range of chemical reactions, including oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis, while also exhibiting substantial biological potential. The current review explores the multifaceted applications of Schiff-base complexes derived from both transition and non-transition metals, shedding light on their role as promising materials for various catalytic, sensing, and medicinal applications.
NEUROCHEMICAL NEXUS: AGMATINE'S CRUCIAL CONTRIBUTION IN BIOGENIC AMINES PHYSIOLOGY AND TOXICITY
Fatoumata Ndiaye Camara
Biogenic amines, nitrogen compounds derived from amino acids and protein-rich foods, are present in animals and some plants. At low concentrations, they serve vital physiological roles as neurotransmitters in vertebrates, while high levels can lead to toxicity with varying symptoms depending on the specific biogenic amine. Polyamines like histamine, cadaverine, putrescine, and tyramine can be found in various foods and dairy products, their concentrations influenced by factors such as maturation, storage duration, pH, temperature, and salt content. Monitoring and understanding biogenic amine levels in different contexts, from cancer diagnosis to food safety, is critical. This abstract provides insights into the...
