Schiff bases: A short review of their antimicrobial activities

Abstract: Schiff bases are aldehyde-or ketone-like compounds in which the carbonyl group is replaced by an imine or azomethine group. They are widely used for industrial purposes and also exhibit a broad range of biological activities. This short review compiles examples of the most promising antimalarial, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral Schiff bases. An overview of synthetic methodologies used for the preparation of Schiff bases is also described.

“…[9][10][11][12][13] Thus, they play an important role in revealing the preferred coordination geometries of metal complexes due to their preparative accessibility, diversity and structural variability. [14][15][16] These properties of Schiff bases and their complexes have resulted in wide applications in the biological field [17] Cu (II) complexes are known to be effective against rheumatoid arthritis and they also show anti-ulcer activity. [18] This is because gastrointestinal irritation often precludes treatment by other antiarthritic drugs.…”

“…Extended interest to the Schiff bases is caused by their use as starting materials in the synthesis of important drugs, such as antibiotics and antimalarial, antifungal, and antitumor substances [1][2][3][4][5], as components of rubber compounds [6], or as ligands for the complexation of metal ions [7][8][9]. The bond lengths and angles in the title crystal structure are in normal ranges.…”
