Abstract

Aim: In the 21st century, we are witness of continuous onslaughts of various pathogen deformities which are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, to investigate the grave for these deformities, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial biological activities were carried out against newly synthesized Schiff base ligands and their transition metal complexes, which are based on newly synthesized 2-phenoxyaniline and salicylaldehyde derivatives. Materials & methods: The synthesized compounds were characterized by various physiochemical studies, demonstrating the octahedral stereochemistry of the complexes. Results: The biological assessments revealed that complex 6 (3.01 ± 0.01 μM) was found to be highly active for oxidant ailments whereas complex 14 (7.14 ± 0.05 μM, 0.0041–0.0082 μmol/ml) was observed as highly potent for inflammation and microbial diseases. Conclusion: Overall, the biological and computational studies demonstrate that the nickel(II) complex 14 can act as an excellent candidate for pathogen deformities.
