ABSTRACT
The ligation behavior of 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzaldehydethiosemicarbazone (L) and its Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes has been synthesized and characterized by Elemental analysis, Electronic, FT-IR, Raman, EPR spectral techniques and Cyclic voltammetric study. The ligand (L) belongs to triclinic system with P1 space group. The IR spectral data of ligand indicate the taking part of sulphur and azomethine nitrogen in coordination to the central metal ion. The electronic, FT-IR and EPR spectral studies reveals all the complexes are distorted octahedral geometry. The synthesized ligand and its metal(II) complexes were tested for their antioxidant activity by 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and antibacterial activity against E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhi and Klebsiella pneumonia. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the ligand and its metal complexes had shown moderate to good activity, among all the compounds Ni(II) complex had shown more activity.
ABSTRACT
Using mainly 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl amino acid 2, 4, 5-trichlorophenyl esters in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and the solid support p-alkoxybenzyl alcohol resin, synthesis of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogues was carried out with minimal side-chain protection. Catalytic transfer hydrogenation was employed for removal of NO2 and Z-groups from Arg and < Glu respectively avoiding the use of HF and this led to good yields. An aromatic, hydrophilic amino acid, D-(p-hydroxyphenyl) glycine was incorporated into luteinizing hormone releasing hormone molecule along with other modifications. The agonistic as well as antagonistic activities of all the peptides have been studied.
