Pyridine‐derived Schiff base copper (II), zinc (II), and cadmium (II) complexes: Synthesis, structural properties, biological evaluation, and docking studies
Abstract:Herein, Cu (II), Zn (II), and Cd (II) complexes, [DEP(M)X2], encompassing the pyridine‐derived Schiff‐base ligand DEP, where DEP is (E)‐N,N‐diethyl‐2‐([pyridine‐2‐ylmethylene]amino)ethane‐1‐amine, are synthesized. X‐ray diffraction studies reveal distorted square pyramidal geometries for the Cd (II) and Cu (II) complexes, whereas the geometry of [DEP (Zn)Cl2] can best be described as trigonal bipyramidal. The antibacterial potential of DEP and its [DEP(M)X2] complexes were evaluated against four bacterial stra… Show more
“…48 Bands corresponding to the n → π* electronic transition owing to the imine CN group were observed at approximately 275–355 nm. 14,35 A bathochromic shift was observed in the absorption wavelength of complexes, indicating that a lone pair of electrons of N is donated to M( ii ) ions upon complexation (Fig. 1).…”

“…The Molecular Operation Environment (MOE) 2015 software was used for studying molecular docking. 34,35 The charge correction, missing addition of hydrogen, and removal of water molecules from the selected residue were performed before molecular docking. In addition, corrected protonation was achieved using a 3D protonate module in the MOE with a generalized Born/volume integral electrostatic function.…”
Herein, the synthesis of M(ii) (M = Co, Cu, Zn, and Cd) complexes with morpholine-derived ligand is described that has shown significant urease inhibition, along with promising antioxidant and anticancer potential.
