The characterization was mainly based on IR and (1)H NMR spectroscopy, and the results showed that in all prepared complexes, penciclovir coordinates to the metal through N7. The far-i.r. spectrum of the complex cis-(pen)(2)PdCl(2) confirmed the cis- geometry around Pd(II). All the prepared complexes were markedly active against HSV-1 and HSV-2 strains, but not against thymidine kinase-deficient HSV-1 strains. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
