Anti-Malarial and Multi-Bioactive Co (II), Cu (II) and Ni (II) Salen Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization and Computational Studies.

Herein, we report the anti-malarial, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of the NO donor tetradentate salen type ligand and its CoL, NiL, and CuL metal complexes. The synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic analytical methods. The in-vitro anti-malarial investigations revealed that the complex CuL exhibited equipotency with quinine drug having IC value 0.
