Schiff base ligand (HL) derived from condensation of 3-methoxy salicylaldehyde with 4-aminobenzoic
acid and its metal(II) complexes containing triphenylphosphine of the type [MCl(PPh3)(L)] (M = Ni2+,
Co2+ or Cu2+; L = bitendate Schiff base ligand) have been synthesized. All the metal(II) complexes
were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (FT-IR, electronic, ESI-Mass, ESR, 1H, 13C NMR
and 31P NMR) techniques. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial
efficiency against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungai using the agar well
diffusion method. Anticancer activity in vitro of the ligand and its metal(II) complexes were also
screened against MCF-7 cancer cell lines (human breast cancer cell line).
A new organic compound, N-[4-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)-phenyl]pyrazine-2-carboxamide
was synthesized through the reaction between 4-amino-N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)benzamide and
pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid. The synthesized compound has been characterized by spectroscopic
techniques such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR and mass spectroscopy. The synthesized compound
was screened to antibacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli),
antifungal (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) activities. The anticancer activity of the title
compound was also evaluated against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
