Iron(III) complexes: preparation, characterization, antibacterial activity and DNA-binding.

Iron(III) have been combined to well known quinolones (ciprofloxacin) and some Schiff bases with the help of coordination approach. Characterization of these compounds have been done using elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, IR, UV-VIS, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR spectral investigation. Analytical studies suggest that the iron(III)-quinolone complexes assume a six-coordinated dimeric distorted octahedral geometry.

Synthesis, characterization and biological aspects of novel five-coordinated dimeric-Cu(II) systems.

The structural and spectroscopic properties of novel five-coordinated dimeric-Cu(II) system have been investigated. The biocidal activities of all eight compounds, ligands, cupric nitrate and standard drugs against six bacteria and three fungi were determined. The DNA interaction activity of complexes was studied using spectrophotometry and electrophoresis.

Synthesis, spectroscopic and biological aspects of iron(II) complexes.

Five novel coordinated complexes of iron(II) with ciprofloxacin and neutral bidentate ligands have been prepared and characterized using elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, IR spectra, UV-VIS spectral, thermogravimetric analyses, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The antimicrobial activity of the individual ligands, metal salt and metal complexes with respect to Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Serratia marcescens, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Lasiodiplodia theobromae were evaluated by the agar-plate technique in comparison to reference standard drugs (ofloxacin, levofloxacin and fluconozole). Binding of the complexes to DNA was studied and is discussed.

In-vitro biological evaluation of some ONS and NS donor Schiff's bases and their metal complexes.

Complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with the Schiff bases salicylidene-o-aminothiophenol (H2L) and thiophene-o-carboxaldeneaniline (SB) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, thermogravimetric analyses as well as infrared spectra and reflectance spectra. The nature of the bonding has been discussed on the basis of IR spectral data. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectral data suggest a six-coordinated octahedral structure for these complexes.

Bactericidal activity of different oxovanadium(IV) complexes with Schiff bases and application of chelation theory.

Oxovanadium(IV) complexes have been synthesized and characterized the general composition [VOL(A)], where H2L = salicylidene-o-aminothiophenol A1 = bis(benzylidene)ethylenediamine, A2 = bis(acetophenone)ethylenediamine, A3 = 2,2'-bipyridylamine, A4 = bis(benzylidene) - 1,8-diaminonaphthalene, A5 = thiophene-o-carboxaldeneaniline and A6 = thiophene-o-carboxaldene-p-anisidine. Spectral studies indicate that the oxovanadium(IV) complexes assume a six-coordinate octahedral geometry. The antibacterial activities of the complexes against Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli and Serratia mercescens are higher as compared to the free ligands, vanadyl sulphate, and the control (DMSO) but of moderate activity as compared to the standard drug (tetracycline).
