This review outlines research on the development of ruthenium complexes containing
acylthiourea ligands with potential antitumor activity, which have been leveraged in recent …

(acyl/aroyl)-3-(substituted) thioureas are exciting structures in the fields of organic synthesis,
material sciences, and biomedical research. Of particular significance is the fact that acyl …

Recently, we demonstrated that ferrocene-containing compounds with a cinchona moiety
displayed marked anticancer activity. Here we report on the effects of the most promising …

The chemistry of bidentate ligands with a dppf-like motif, where phosphorus is fully or
partially replaced by other pnictogens as donor sites, is summarized and discussed in this …

Phosphinoferrocene ureas Ph2PfcCH2NHCONR2, where NR2= NH2 (1a), NHMe (1b),
NMe2 (1c), NHCy (1d), and NHPh (1e); the analogous thiourea Ph2PfcCH2NHCSNHPh (1f); …

Several pyridine-amide compounds appended with phenol/catechol groups are
synthesized. These compounds consist of protected or deprotected phenol/catechol groups …

Ecuador is well known for its biodiversity and its ancient richness. This review provides an
overview of Ecuadorian plant species in terms of the ethnobotany and chemistry of natural …

Nature is full of dimeric alkaloids of various types from many plant families, some of them
with interesting biological properties. However, dimeric Cinchona alkaloids were not …

Exploring copper (I)-and ruthenium (II)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloadditions and a
Sonogashira protocol, novel cytostatic ferrocene-cinchona hybrids were synthetized …

Background Culex is an important mosquito as vectors for the transmission of serious
