ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITIES OF A SCHIFF BASE AND ITS METAL COMPLEXES DERIVED FROM 3-AMINO-5- BROMOBENZOFURAN-2-CARBOXAMIDE - SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION
M. B. Halli*., Sadu Suryakant S and Mallikarjun Kinni
ABSTRACT
New metal complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) Zn(II) Cd(II ) and
Hg(II) were synthesized from a Schiff base (L) formed by the
condensation of 3-amino-5-bromobenzofuran-2- carboxamide and 2-
hydroxy-5-(phenyldiazenyl)benzaldehyde. Newly synthesized metal
complexes subjected to various spectral characterization and screened
for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Investigation of their
biological activities shows that complexes are more active than its
corresponding ligand.
Keywords: Schiff base, Metal Complexes, Spectral studies, Biological activity.
