ABSTRACT
The rapid growth and revolution in the area of emerging therapeutics has been able to save the life of millions of patients globally. Besides these developments, the microbes are consistently struggling for their own survival and hence becoming quite more sturdy and incurable to existing drugs. Covid-19 virus and Black Fungus are recent examples of failure of medical preparations and strength of these viruses beyond the imagination of medical practitioners. Henceforth the study has made an extensive survey of exiting literature on heterocyclic schiff bases and their transition metal complexes to look for their potential applicability as antimicrobial agents. The inherent physiognomies of the essential properties of these transition metal complexes including thermodynamic, kinetic and chelating are comparatively modifiable as per requirements. The study has found that the biological applications of these transition metal complexes are well suited to be used as antibacterial and antifungal agents.
