Synthesis and Characterisation of Co(II) Cu(II) Zn(III) and La(II) Complexes of Standard Antidiabetic Drugs

Abstract

Metal complxes of Glimeperide drugs were prepared and characterized based on elemental analysis, FT-IR, Molar conductance and thermal analysis (TGA and DTG) technique. From elemental analysis data, the complexes were proposed to have general formulae (GLM)2Co2H2O, (GLM)2Cu, (GLM)2Zn,and (GLM)2La2H2O. The molar conductance data reveal that all the metal complexes are non-electrolytic, IR spectra shows that GLM are coordinated to metal ions in a neutral bidentate manner from the ESR spectra and XRD-spectra. It is found that the geometrical structures of these complexes are tetrahedral Cu(II) ,Zn(II) and octrahedral Co(II), La(II). The thermal behavior of these complexesstudied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA and DTG) techniques. The results obtained shows that the hydrated complexes lose water molecules of hydration followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the successive unseparate steps.
