Synthesis, structural, spectral and biological evaluation of metals endowed 1,2,4-triazole

Abstract

Biologically active triazole Schiff base ligand 2,4-dichloro-6-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol (A) has been synthesized by the condensation reaction of an equimolar amount of 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-amine and 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde and then it coordinated with salts of metals [VO(IV), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)] in 2:1 molar ratio to derive a series of transition metal chelates (1)-(6). All the compounds were characterized by various physical, spectral, analytical techniques and elemental analysis. Spectral characterization and magnetic moment data of complexes revealed square pyramidal geometry for vanadium complex and octahedral for remaining (2)-(6) complexes. Quantum chemical calculation has been carried out to explore optimized geometry and electronic structure of the ligand. Density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-311+g(d,p) method was performed to determine vibrational bands, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and natural bond analysis (NBO) of the ligand. NBO analysis showed that the ligand bears higher molecular stability because of hyper conjugate interactions. Computational study results revealed that there was a close interaction of theoretical and experimental spectroscopic data. Global reactivity descriptors calculated by the energies of FMOs, indicated ligand to be bioactive. The synthesized compounds were studied for antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and antiglycation activity and the results revealed that ligand has remarkable activity which considerably increased upon chelation.

Metal incorporated aminothiazole-derived compounds: synthesis, density function theory analysis,in vitroantibacterial and antioxidant evaluation

“…The as-synthesized metal-based thiazole Schiff base ligands were scrutinized for developing new antibacterial agents. The growth-inhibiting potentials of all the compounds were explored against two Gram (+) bacteria; Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus as well as two Gram (−) bacteria; Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli by standard disc diffusion method [35]. Streptomycin was employed as the standard antibacterial agent in this assay.…”

Synthesis, Characterization and Breast Anti-cancer Activity of Iron(II), Cobalt(II), Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Complexes with a Hexadentate Schiff Base Ligand Derived from 2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone with 5-Amino-2-methylphenol

“…Many studies have revealed the considerable chemical and biological importance of the electron lone pair of nitrogen's imine group [6]. This group can be considered crucial for Schiff base exploitation in biology and various branches of chemistry and reactions [7][8][9]. For example, in the coordination chemistry, Schiff bases have the ability to act as ligands and chelate with metals through the nitrogen in the imine group and an adjacent donor atom such as nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen [10][11][12][13].…”

Preparation, Antimicrobial Activity and Docking Study of Vanadium Mixed Ligand Complexes Containing 4-Amino-5-hydrazinyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and Aminophenol Derivatives

“…This protein was selected due to their reported studies [17,18], which revealed that theses complexes can bind to the DNA gyrase and could be considered as biologically active compound [19]. Additionally, the synthesized complexes were screened in vitro for antimicrobial activity and were subjected to theoretical molecular docking evaluation [20][21][22][23].…”
