There is a crucial medical need for the progress of new antibacterial agents with new and more efficient mechanisms. Schiff bases are stated to have a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anticancer activities, which are largely due to the distinguishing C=N group. Furthermore, heterocyclic compounds containing acyclic hydroxylated side chains, for example, acyclovir (ACV), are an essential class of antiviral acyclonucleosides. Therefore, this work was to synthesize and evaluate a new series of acyclovir analogues bearing a Schiff base moiety. Some of Schiff's bases synthesis in an ethanolic solution of drug, aldehydes, and glacial acetic acid as a catalyst followed in the synthesis of substituted acyclovir drug compounds. In this work, two new series of acyclovir analogues bearing a Schiff base moiety were Synthesised, characterized, and confirmed by various spectral techniques like FTIR, CHN, and 1HNMR spectra, in addition to melting point and retardation factor (Rf.). The biological activity of synthesized Schiff base compounds measured against a panel of various bacteria. The results revealed that these compounds showed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as bacillus and Gram-negative bacteria such as proteus, E-coli, pseudomonas, and klebsiella. It concluded that synthesized Schiff base compounds showed higher antibacterial activity than acyclovir that they derived from it.

Background: Schiff bases are excellent compounds. They were synthesized by condensation of active carbonyl and amines. They were widely used as a substrate in the preparation of industrial compounds as well as pharmaceutical purposes. They exhibit a wide range of biological activities. In this study, based on the importance of Schiff bases, a sustainable synthetic method was developed employing reflux and microwave irradiation. Objective: Develop a new synthetic method for imidazole Schiff base derivatives synthesis employing reflux, microwave irradiation, and ethanol as a green solvent. Methods: Synthesis of imidazole Schiff base derivatives was carried out under reflux and microwave irradiation conditions. Antibacterial activity of imidazole derivatives and standard drugs was examined against two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis) and two Gramnegative bacteria (Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli). Results: Schiff bases were synthesized in the presence of microwave irradiation and ethanol in high yields 90-98% for 2-4 min. The antibacterial effects of Schiff bases were evaluated against both strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative. Conclusion: In this paper, a novel series of imidazole Schiff base derivatives were synthesized using reflux, microwave irradiation, and ethanol. Antibacterial effects were investigated. The excellent advantages of microwave irradiation in the synthesis of imidazole derivatives include reduction of reaction time from an hour to a minute, high product yield. In this study, the measurement of antibacterial activity was also important. Imidazole derivatives with Cl, OH, and CH3 groups showed antibacterial effects.

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.

A new series of phthalyl substituted imidazolones (4a–g) and Schiff bases (5a–d) were synthesized from 2-methyl-(m-nitro-1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-(2H)-isoindole-2-yl)-5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (3a–b). Compounds (3a–b) were prepared by cyclisation of 2-(m-nitro-1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-(2H)-isoindole-2-yl)methyl ethanoate (2) with thiosemicarbazide. 2-(m-nitro-1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-(2H)-isoindole-2-yl)ethanoic acid (1) in presence of thionyl chloride and methanol gave the ester (2) while compound (1) was synthesized by aminolysis of phthalic anhydride with glycine. The compounds were characterized by spectral techniques of IR,1H NMR, Mass and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds (4a–g) and (5a–d) were screened for their antibacterial activity against the pathogenic strainsE. coli, P. aureus, C. freundiiwhile antifungal activity was evaluated againstA. niger, A. flavus, Penicillium sp. and C. albicans.

Two Schiff bases were synthesized from raceacetophenone: 1) ADS1 4-ethyl-6-{(E)-1-[(3-nitrophenyl)imino]ethyl}benzene-1,3-diol and 2) ADS3 4-ethyl-6-[(E)-1-{(2-nitrophenyl)imino]ethyl}benzene-1,3-diol. Then their metal complexes were formed. The metals selected for the preparation of complexes were copper, nickel, iron and zinc. Hence, in total 8 metal complexes were synthesized and screened for antibacterial activity against some clinically important bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. The in vitro antibacterial activity was determined by the Agar Ditch technique using DMF (polar) and 1,4-dioxane (non polar) as solvents. The Schiff bases showed greater activity than theirmetal complexes; themetal complexes showed differential effects on the bacterial strains investigated and the solvent used, suggesting that the antibacterial activity is dependent on the molecular structure of the compound, the solvent used and the bacterial strain under consideration. The Schiff base ADS3 in the polar solvent DMF showed better antibacterial activity towards the investigated bacterial strains. Amongst the four metals, Zn showed the best antibacterial activity followed by Fe in 1,4-dioxane while Ni followed by Zn and Fe showed the best antibacterial activity in DMF. P. vulgaris was the most resistant bacteria.

Introduction: Treatment of cancer has been subject of great interest. Researchers are continuously searching for new medicines. In this sense, ruthenium complexes have big potential. Some evidences suggest that ruthenium compounds possess anticancer activities. We synthesized two recently published ruthenium(III) complexes with bidentate O,N and tridentate O,O,N Schiff bases derived from 5-substituted salicylaldehyde and aminophenol or anilineare. These compounds showed affinity for binding to the DNA molecule, however, insufficient data are available regarding their possible toxic effects on biological systems.Methods: In the present study we evaluated genotoxic, cytotoxic, and cytostatic effects of Na[RuCl2(L1)2] and Na[Ru(L2)2], using the Allium cepa assay.Results: Different toxic effects were observed depending on the substance, tested concentration, and endpoint measured. In general, the tested compounds significantly lowered the root growth and mitotic index values as compared to the control group. Additionally, a wide range of abnormal mitotic stages, both clastogenic and non-clastogenic were observed in the treated cells. Na[RuCl2(L1)2] significantly increased the frequency of sticky metaphases, chromosome bridges, micronuclei, impaired chromosome segregation, as well as number of apoptotic and necrotic cells over the controls. In contrast, Na[Ru(L2)2] did not show significant evidence of genotoxicity with regard to chromosome aberrations and micronuclei, however, significant differences were detected in the number of apoptotic and necrotic cells when the highest concentration was applied.Conclusions: In this study we demonstrated antiproliferative effects of Na[RuCl2(L1)2] and Na[Ru(L2)2]. At clinical level, these results could be interesting for further studies on anticancer potential of the ruthenium(III) complexes using animal models.
