3-Phenyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde undergoes condensation with semicarbazide hydrochloride to form a Schiff-base i.e. 3-phenyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde semicarbazone (abbreviated as MBS). It undergoes complexation with Vanadium(II), Manganese(II), and Copper(II). The comparison of FTIR-spectra of complexes with that of free ligand helps ascertain the coordination points of ligand through the nitrogen of –CH=N– group and oxygen of group. The axial ligands have been varied by chloride, acetate and nitrate ions. The UV/Visible and ESR spectra of complexes predicts their tetragonally distorted octahedral (D4h) symmetry. The tetragonal distortion parameter (Dt) is observed maximum for chloride while it is minimum for nitrate along z-axis. Both vanillin and semicarbazide are established biologically active compounds and hence their biological activities may be enhanced by their complexation and than a versatile field may be developed for further exploration.

Iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel (II), copper (II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of the type ML2Cl2, where M is a metal and L is the Schiff base N- -(2-thienylmethylene)methanamine (TNAM) formed by the condensation of 2- -thiophenecarboxaldehyde and methylamine, were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis as well as magnetic and spectroscopic measurements. The elemental analyses suggest the stoichiometry to be 1:2 (metal:ligand). Magnetic susceptibility data coupled with electronic, ESR and M?ssbauer spectra suggest a distorted octahedral structure for the Fe(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, a square-planar geometry for the Cu(II) compound and a tetrahedral geometry for the Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes. The infrared and NMR spectra of the complexes agree with co-ordination to the central metal atom through nitrogen and sulphur atoms. Conductance measurements suggest the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes, except for the Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes, which are 1:2 electrolytes. The Schiff base and its metal chelates were screened for their biological activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the metal chelates were found to possess better antibacterial activity than that of the uncomplexed Schiff base.

This report describes the synthesis and exploration of novel Schiff base ligand in the form of a polymer (heptamer) which was prepared by reaction between 3,4-diacetyl-2,5-hexanedione and hydrazine hydrate in ethanol. On further reaction of Schiff base with transition metals ions (Co and Cu) leads to formation of its transition metal complexes. The structural identification of Schiff base ligand and its transition metal complexes were characterized by classical structural techniques like FT-IR, NMR and mass spectra. The free ligand and its transition metal complexes have been screened for in vitro biological activities against various strains of bacteria and fungi. The prepared Schiff base and its metal complexes were also screened for antiangiogenic activity. The results have shown the remarkable antimicrobial and antiangiogenic activities of the Schiff base and its metal complexes.

Abstract:: Schiff base or imine or azomethine is one of the most important organic compounds that has been reported to play a significant role in various biological processes. The group is a part of natural or non-natural compounds and is involved as important precursors as diversified agents and as intermediates for the synthesis of biologically active agents. The review outlines the detailed design strategy, synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of different Schiff bases for various biological activities. We have tried to outline the key points of various researchers with respect to biological activities. The results of different studies demonstrate Schiff bases as a linker in many synthetic compounds displaying a broad range of activities. We believe that the present review will provide comprehensive knowledge about medicinal importance of Schiff bases and serve as important literature in designing the synthesis of novel molecules containing Schiff base as pharmacophore or biologically active moiety.

A new series of transition metal complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) were synthesized from the Schiff base ligand derived from 4-aminoantipyrine, furfural ando-phenylenediamine. The structural features were derived from their elemental analyses, infrared, UV-visible spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analyses, ESR spectral analyses and conductivity measurements. The data of the complexes suggested square planar geometry for the metals with primary valency two. Antimicrobial screening tests were performed against bacteria. The comparative study of the MIC values of the Schiff base and its metal complexes indicate that the metal complexes exhibit greater antibacterial activity than the free ligand.

Titanium(IV)-complex of chemical composition [{(NNO)2Ti}3O3] (2) bearing bidentate heteroditopic Schiff base [(C5H4OH)-N=CH-C4H3-NH] (L1) ligand in titanium coordination sphere was reported and its biological significance was evaluated. The in vitro cytotoxicity of L1 and 2 were evaluated by using MTT assay on cancer cell lines (MCF-7 & A549) and observed significant cytotoxicity. Further, the LDH and NO assay studies on both L1 and 2 on cancer cell lines revealed that the enhanced cytotoxicity compared to standard anticancer drug i.e. cisplatin. The DNA binding studies of tested compounds with Ct-DNA molecule by using UV-visible and fluorescence spectra and molecular docking studies revealed that moderate to good binding interactions with test molecules. Thus, the present work contributes and implies the biological significance of Ti-complex (2) and the correlation between the structure and the biological activities of such Ti-complexes supported by Schiff base systems opens up opportunities for further exploitation of similar biologically active titanium systems.

Two biologically active classes of compounds coumarins and triazoles were employed to form the Schiff bases. The synthesized Schiff baseviz., 3-aryl-[(1-isocyano-4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin)]-5-methyl-1,3,4-triazoline-2-one and its substituents were obtained by the condensation of amino group of mono and disubstituted derivatives of 3-methyl-5-oxo-1,2, 4-triazoles with 8-formyl-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin in alcohol. The characterization were studied by elemental analysis, IR,1H NMR and mass spectra. The biological activities of the compounds were assayed against two bacterial via,B. subtilis, E.coliand two fungal strainsA. niger, C.albican. The results indicate that the present compounds may serve as better fungicides when compared to bactericides. The synthesized compounds have turned to be wonder compounds possessing antimicrobial properties.

The consumption of berry-type fruits has become very popular in recent years because of their positive effects on human health. Berries are in fact widely known for their health-promoting benefits, including prevention of chronic disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Berries are a rich source of bioactive metabolites, such as vitamins, minerals, and phenolic compounds, mainly anthocyanins. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies recognized the health effects of berries and their function as bioactive modulators of various cell functions associated with oxidative stress. Plants have one of the largest metabolome databases, with over 1200 papers on plant metabolomics published only in the last decade. Mass spectrometry (MS) and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) are the most important analytical technologies on which the emerging ''omics'' approaches are based. They may provide detection and quantization of thousands of biologically active metabolites from a tissue, working in a ''global'' or ''targeted'' manner, down to ultra-trace levels. In the present review, we highlighted the use of MS and NMR-based strategies and Multivariate Data Analysis for the valorization of berries known for their biological activities, important as food and often used in the preparation of nutraceutical formulations.
