Schiff base metal complexes have shown promise in medical studies recently. With simple synthetic procedures, the creation of these complexes has become a new and exciting research area. Previously, the synthetic reaction of 1,3-diaminopropane and 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde has been studied in the Jeitler Research Group. Using various conjugated forms of the diamine, derivatives of the salicylaldehyde, and changing the metal centers; a wide variety of medical applications can be studied. Specifically, the integration of gallium to this mixture could be of interest for imaging β-amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer’s patients. Another metal center of interest studied is the vanadium complex that could be of particular interest for diabetes research.
