A Review Of Effect Of Metal Complexation On Biological Activity
Keywords:
Metal complexes, Schiff basesAbstract
Metal complexes with nitrogenous Schiff bases are becoming increasingly relevant for their biochemical, analytical and antimicrobial activities. On viewing the metallo-elements, there are certain metallo-elements without which the normal functioning of the living organism is inconceivable. Of these metallo-elements, the so called ‘metals of life’, four members form an ‘island’. These are Na, Mg, K and Ca, amongst the transition elements V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn. These elements are present in trace or ultra-trace quantities and known to form Schiff base complexes.
