Hydroxycitric acid-metal heterocyclic compounds with covalent characteristics are provided. The subject hydroxycitric acid compounds include monomeric hydroxycitric acid (HCA) compounds having a divalent metal, lactone forms thereof, and dimeric compound forms thereof. The monomeric HCA compound includes a divalent metal (X) bonded via a 5-membered ring to both the carboxylic acid and the hydroxy group of the central C2 carbon of the HCA. In addition, a monovalent metal (Y) can also be bonded to the carboxylic acid of C3 or C1, or to both C1 and C3. The subject dimeric compounds include monomeric HCA compounds linked via a second divalent metal (X) to a carboxylic acid group of each HCA unit at C3 or C1. Also provided are compositions including a monomeric HCA compound and one or more other additional compounds. Methods of alleviating at least one symptom associated with a target disease or condition in a subject are provided.

The invention relates to a manganese (II) complex, its preparation method and use. The structure of the complex is (R1R2R3R4A)2[MnX4], wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are identical or different, independently selected from alkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl; said alkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl can be optionally substituted with a substituent, and the substituent is preferably alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl; A is N, P, or As; X is optionally F, Cl, Br, or I.

The invention relates to a method for producing, amongst other things, amino-acid and/or hydroxycarboxylic-acid metal chelates, a solvent-free mixture of at least one metal oxide, metal hydroxide, metal carbonate or oxalate, and the solid organic acid is subjected to intensive mechanical stress. According to the invention, this is done in that the reaction partners are introduced in particle form into a fluid stream of a fluid-bed countercurrent mill operating without grinding elements, wherein mechanical activation of at least one of the reaction partners is effected by collision processes within a reaction chamber formed in a region of the fluid stream, and a solid body reaction to form the metal chelate is triggered. The novel method operates very energy-efficiently and with a high specific yield. It leads to a product having compact particles in the small, single-digit micrometer range having a comparatively narrow particle size distribution and a large surface. The product is homogenous and very pure. Thermal loading or decomposition of the organic chelate ligands, in particular of the amino acids, is likewise avoided, as are contaminants from milling and grinding element abrasion.

The invention provides compounds suitable for use as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The compounds of the present invention are manganese (II) complexes having advantageous properties as compared with similar known compounds.
