Scanning Electronic Microscopy Study of New Theophyline Compounds with Metallic Ions
Although they represent mere 3% of the human body, the metallic ions (especially those of the transitional metals from 3d series), under the form of some natural chelate compounds, they intervene in all the fundamental biologic processes, solar energy capture, photosynthesis, oxygen and nitrogen fixation and transportation, coordination of all metabolic reactions and controlled discharge of the energy in the biologic systems. Furthermore, the formation of complex compounds has implications in the explanation of some biological processes or pathological states and may constitute models for the study of the drugs� pharmaco-dynamic effects. In this study is presented the manner in which are prepared three theophyline compounds with transitional metal ions, their physico-chemical properties, the results of the elementary analysis, as well as the examination by scanning electronic microscopy of these compounds particles form.
