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.

Triazole ring system has attracted a continuously growing interest of synthetic organic chemists and those dealing with the medicinal compounds due to its versatile potential to interact with biological systems. Schiff bases are also considered as one of the most biologically active compounds.  The aim of the present study was to synthesize new Schiff bases bearing triazole nucleus and to assess their antimicrobial activities. Four new Schiff base derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione were synthesized by combining two different pharmacophores viz. triazole nucleus and Schiff base moiety and were characterized by spectral techniques (UV, FT-IR, and NMR). The Schiff bases were evaluated for antibacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and antifungal (Candida albicans) activities. The synthesized compounds exhibited good to moderate activities against different strains of bacteria and fungi tested.

Abstract Pyridoxal and Pyridoxal 5-phosphate are two among the six aqua soluble vitamers of vitamin B6. They can form Schiff bases readily due to the presence of aldehyde group. Schiff bases can offer diverse coordination possibilities for many transition metals as has been found in a large volume of research till now. The coordination complexes thus formed gives insight into the active core structure and enzymatic activities of vit B6 containing enzymes. Apart from that, these complexes have been found useful as catalysts for synthesis of fine chemicals, as sensors and for their diverse biological activities.

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.

Focusing on the literature progress since 2002, the present review explores the highly significant role that multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have played as a very important tool for expedite synthesis of a vast number of organic molecules, but also, highlights the fact that many of such molecules are biologically active or at least have been submitted to any biological screen. The selected papers covered in this review must meet two mandatory requirements: (1) the reported products should be obtained via a multicomponent reaction; (2) the reported products should be biologically actives or at least tested for any biological property. Given the diversity of synthetic approaches utilized in MCRs, the highly diverse nature of the biological activities evaluated for the synthesized compounds, and considering their huge structural variability, much of the reported data are organized into concise schemes and tables to facilitate comparison, and to underscore the key points of this review.

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.

Metal complexes synthesized from Schiff bases and furthermore Schiff bases are versatile in nature. Such types of compounds were prepared from the condensation of an amino compound with carbonyl compounds (aldehyde or ketone) during which the carbonyl group is replaced by an imine or azomethine group. Schiff bases and their derivatives are widely employed in industries, polymers, dyes and medicative and pharmaceutical fields and additionally exhibit biological activities like antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antiviral, and antipyretic properties. Many Schiff base metal complexes exhibit glorious catalytic activities in numerous mechanisms. Their several applications in homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis were according troughout last decade. Several Schiff base complexes were helpful for their application as catalysts in reactions involving at high temperatures because of the high thermal and moisture stabilities. This text totally based on literature review with examples of the most promising applied Schiff bases and their complexes in several areas, summarizing the applications of Schiff bases and their numerous derivatives and complexes.

Mercapto-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles are very interesting compounds as they play an important role in chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects on cancer. In recent decades, literature has been enriched with sulfur- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles which are used as a basic nucleus of different heterocyclic compounds with various biological applications in medicine and also occupy a huge part of natural products. Therefore, we shed, herein, more light on the synthesis of this interesting class and its application as a biologically active moiety. They might also be suitable as antiviral and anti-infective drugs.

Reactions of aluminium iso-propoxide with monofunctional bidentate Schiff bases having the general formula 2-HOC10H6CH:NR (where R = C2H5, n C3H7, iso-C3H7, n-C4H9, iso-C4H9, sec-C4H9, tert-C4H9 and C6H5) in different stoichiometric ratios have yielded Al(OPri)2(SB), Al(OPri)(SB)2 and Al(SB)3 type of products (where SB is the anion of the corresponding Schiff base, SBH). The ebullioscopic determination of molecular weights shows that the di-iso-propoxy mono- Schiff base derivatives are dimeric; the tris- Schiff base derivatives are monomeric and for the mono-iso-propoxy bis- Schiff base derivatives, molecular association is ~1.4. The IR spectra of a few representative derivatives have been recorded and possible structures indicated.
