Abstract


The antibacterial, antifungal and antitubercular activities of Hg(II) and Fe(II) complexes of hydrazone were studied. All the complexes have been screened against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and found to be more toxic than the parent ligand. The activity increased in the order [5-methyl-3-oximino-hexan-2-one-hydrazone]2 Fe(II) < [5-methyl-3-oximino-hexan-2-one-hydrazone]2 Hg(II) < 3-oximino-hexan-2-one-phenylhydrazone]2 Fe(II) < [5-methyl-3-oximino-hexan-2-one-phenylhydrazone]2 Hg(II) for antibacterial and antifungal activity.
