Abstract
A novel bioactive metal(II) complexes with the molecular formulae of [MIIL] (where M= Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and Zn(II); L = heterocyclic ligand, curcumin derivative) were synthesized. They were characterized using elemental, thermal analysis, molar conductance, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic moment measurements as well spectral (FT-IR, UV–Vis and ESR) techniques. Powder X-ray diffraction spectral data has been utilized for the study of crystalline properties of metal complexes. The DNA interaction study performed by UV–visible spectroscopy as well as by molecular docking suggests the tested compounds interact with DNA through intercalation mode. The oral glucose tolerance test was used for the hypoglycemic test, and the phenobarbitone-induced sleeping duration test was used to evaluate the CNS depressant activity of metal Schiff base complexes
