Study Of Particle Size And Efficacy Of Transition Metal Complexes Of Mixed Ligands, Tolubutamide And Gliclazide, The Oral Antidiabetic Drugs
The present study describes the particle size determination of mixed ligand complexes of tolbutamide (TBM), N-[(Butyl amino) carbonyl] – 4 methyl benzene sulfonamide (trade name, Rastinon) and gliclazide (GCZ) 1-(3-Azabicyclo [3,3,0] oct-3yl) – 3- (p-tolyl-sulfonyl) urea (trade name Diamicron) are oral hypoglycemics which were synthesized with copper, zinc, mercury, iron and cobalt and suitably isolated in pure powdered form. Yields are substantial. Stoichiometry suggests 1:1:1 (L1L2M) ratio between drugs and metal ion, (ternary complexes). Analytical data of these complexes agrees with the compositions C12H17N2O3S-Cu-C15H20N3O3S, C12H17N2O3S-Zn-C15H20N3O3S, C12H17N2O3S-Hg-C15H20N3O3S, C12H17N2O3S-Fe-G5-H20N3O3S.2H2O, C12H17N2O3S-Co-C15-H20N3O3S.2H2O.
