Iron(<scp>iii</scp>) coordination properties of ladanein, a flavone lead with a broad-spectrum antiviral activity

Abstract

The Fe(<sc>iii</sc>) complexation properties of ladanein, a potent antiviral flavone, and related analogues (negletein and salvigenin), have been studied in solution under quasi-physiological conditions using physico-chemical tools and provided important insights into their stability/reactivity in solution.
