RESEARCH

Thesis Title:

“Synthesis, Characterization and Biological studies of new Lanthanum (III) complexes using N,N′-bis(substituted) oxamides and N,N-heterocyclic bases”.
The work is based on evaluating the pharmacological properties of newly synthesized La(III) complexes using biologically important substituted oxamides as ligands. The biological properties such as binding abilities to biomolecules, chemical nuclease properties, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties were studied based on structure-activity-relationship.
