appearing in the interview.
Project involves:
It is planned to prepare and characterize new Ruthenium and
Vanadium complexes with anti-tumor and anti-parasitic activity, as well as
anti-diabetic activity (V-compounds). The influence
of the binding of therapeutic drugs to serum proteins on their transport by
blood plasma and uptake by cells is well recognized. The stability and
reactivity of the compounds prepared towards blood plasma constituents namely
transferrin and albumin will be studied to evaluate their bioavailability, as well as their capacity to interact with
DNA. The toxicity, anti-tumor and anti-parasitic activity will be
evaluated in-vitro with adequate cell
lines.
