Heterocyclic compounds, in particular oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds, are of special interest to medicinal chemists because of their unusual biological properties. In the present study, the highly conjugated nitrogen heterocyclic scaffold comprised of flavone derivative with metal acetates to form metal chelates of the type [MIIL(OAc)2], flavone analogues (L); M=Co2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+. The above title compounds were characterized using composition analysis o fCHN and spectroscopic techniques. Based on spectroscopic and analytical measurements confirmed that square planar arrangements for the Co2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ complexes. Antimicrobial efficacy of prepared complexes were assessed against A.flavus, A.niger, B.subtilis, E. coli, C. albicans and S.aureus. The anti-mycobacterial (H37Rv) efficacy of flavone analogues and its complexes were screened using MABA approach and compared with standard. The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory effect of the ligand was examined to find out the therapeutic efficiency of compound in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. The synthesized ligand exhibited selective inhibition (AChE & BuChe) values (IC50:0.20(flavone analogue), 2.41 (Rivastigmine) and 3.01 µM (Galantamine), respectively. Further, the in vitro ant-inflammatory efficiency of metal chelates were performed with the help of egg albumin method. The α-glucosidase inhibition activity was also carried out for the prepared metal complexes.
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.
