Abstract: | Six Cu(II) complexes of Schiff base ligands of arylidene-2-(4-(4-bromo/methoxy-phenyl)thiazol-2-yl) hydrazines have been synthesized,
characterized and screened for DNA cleavage and antimicrobial activities. The chemical structures of the complexes were deduced
by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Elemental analyses indicated that the stoichiometry of the complexes is CuL2 (L = Schiff base ligand). The DNA cleavage activities of the complexes were evaluated by agarose gel electrophoresis in the
presence and absence of oxidant (H2O2) and free radical scavenger (DMSO). All the six complexes showed significant nuclease activity in the presence of H2O2, and two of the complexes showed moderate nuclease activity even in the absence of oxidant. The complexes did not show nuclease
activity in the presence of free radical scavenger. The compounds were tested for activity against selected bacteria and fungi. |
