title: Bioactivity of nickel(II) complex containing N-glycosides derived from D-glucosamine and ethylenediamine against pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans.
abstract: A nickel(II) complex containing N-glycosides derived from the reaction of D-glucosamine (D-GlcN) and ethylenediamine (en) [Ni(D-GlcN-en)2]Cl2.H20 showed effective antifungal activity against pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, where the MIC (minimal concentration of inhibition) value of the complex is 0.25 mM.
