The transition metal complexes bearing coumarin and 1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized. Neutral bidentate ligands as well as all transition metal complexes were studied on the basis of mass spectra, NMR spectra, FT-IR spectrum and elemental analyses. Mass spectral data confirm the structure of ligands as indicated by the molecular ion peak (M+) corresponding to their molecular weight. IR spectral data suggest bonding of ligand toward metal ion. Furthermore, complexes investigated by means of thermogravimetry, electronic spectra and magnetic measurements. TGA study indicates octahedral...

The book focuses on the designing and development of transdermal drug delivery system for delivery of antihypertensive drugs. The transdermal route is a novel drug delivery aspect which mainly contributes towards patient compliance and sustained drug plasma level. Administration of drugs via dermal route can bypass various disadvantages caused when administered orally and may maintain relatively consistent plasma levels for long-term therapy. The book will prove to fruitful for researchers in the field of drug delivery.
