Isatin endowed metal chelates as antibacterial and antifungal agents
A new series of 5-chloroindoline-2,3-dione (isatin) derived ligands (L1 )-(L4 ) were prepared by reacting isatin with various diamines such as ethane-1,2-diamine, propane-1,3-diamine, butane-1,4-diamine, and benzene-1,2-diamine in an equimolar ratio to give 3-[(2-aminoethyl)imino]-5-chloro-1,3-d...

| Summary: | A new series of 5-chloroindoline-2,3-dione (isatin) derived ligands (L1
)-(L4
) were prepared by reacting isatin with
various diamines such as ethane-1,2-diamine, propane-1,3-diamine, butane-1,4-diamine, and benzene-1,2-diamine
in an equimolar ratio to give 3-[(2-aminoethyl)imino]-5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (L1
), 3-[(3-aminopropyl)
imino]-5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (L2
), 3-[(4-aminobutyl)imino]-5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (L3
)
and 3-[(2-aminophenyl)imino]-5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (L4
). All ligands acted as tridentate possessing
three active sites, isatin-O, azomethine-N, and amino-N for binding with the metal atoms. The structures of the isatin
based Schiff bases were elucidated through their spectral (infrared, ultraviolet, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass
spectra), physical (melting point and solubility) and analytical (C, N, H %) data. The prepared ligands were reacted
with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) transition metals in 1:2 molar ratio (metal:ligand) to form their complexes.
IR, UV, NMR, conductance, magnetic moment, and elemental analysis was used to characterize the metal complexes.
Metals based isatins were evaluated for their in-vitro antimicrobial properties against selected fungal and bacterial
species. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungal results showed the metal chelates to be more biologically active than their
parent uncomplexed ligands. |
