Abstract
Schiff bases are useful chemical compounds with a wide range of applications. The Schiff bases are synthesized via the condensation reaction between carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) and compounds having an amine group and the Schiff base is characterised by an imine or azomethine (-C=N-) group. These compounds are extensively used as ligands to form coordination complexes with metal ions and are widely utilized in the treatment of various ailments. Sulphonamides are biologically significant class of drug-like chemical derivatives due to their good oral absorption and urine excretion. Sulphonamides are widely used as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antiviral drugs in addition to acting as powerful Carbonic anhydrase hCA inhibitors, HIV protease inhibitors, anti-obesity and anti-thyroid agents because of their less poisonous, more reactive and cost-effective nature. Sulphonamide-based Schiff bases and their metal chelates have attracted the focus of researchers due to their broad range of pharmacological characteristics. In this review, various pharmacological uses of Schiff base metal complexes generated from sulphonamide derivatives are discussed.
