In the present investigation, a series of newly reported Schiff bases of nitrogen containing heterocyclic nucleus evaluated for their possible Cytotoxic and Antioxidant activities. The synthesised compounds 4,4'-(4phenylpyridine-2,6-diyl)bis (N-benzylideneaniline) derivatives (6a-o) were synthesized from an efficient condensation reaction of 4-Substituted Phenyl-2, 6-bis(4-Amino Phenyl) Pyridine, with Substituted Aromatic Aldehydes. The characterisation of the newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed from its elemental analysis and spectral studies (IR, 1 HNMR, 13 CNMR and Mass). The synthesized Schiff bases were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity and Antioxidant activity by MTT assay and Nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging method respectively.
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.
