Abstract
Background: A schiff base is generally a bi- or tri-dentate ligand capable of forming stable complexes with transition metals. Schiff base complexes have synthetic flexibilities and biological activity against various diseases.
Objective: In the current study, Schiff bases compounds (PV1 - PV5) were synthesized from 4-methyl-1- benzene sulfonyl chloride. Subsequently, the synthesized products were analyzed for their antibacterial activity.
Methods: Schiff base is a nitrogen analog with a carbonyl group. The reaction that results in the formation of new complexes involves the condensation of carbonyl compounds with an amine group. Furthermore, thin layer chromatography, FT-IR spectroscopy, and 1H-NMR were performed for product characterization.
Results: All five complexes were successfully synthesized and some of the compounds demonstrated antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Conclusion: The results confirmed the structure and presence of functional groups as per the scheme of synthesis. These synthesized compounds have the potential to treat the studied diseases and could be used as therapeutic candidates if further research is done.
