title: Biological activity of some Schiff bases and their metal complexes.
abstract: Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde and 2-substituted aniline and their metal chelates with Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II) ions were synthesized and screened for the antiinflammatory and antiulcer activity. The compound salicylidene-anthranilic acid (SAA) was found to possess the antiinflammatory and antiulcer activity. The copper complexes showed an increased antiulcer activity. The SAA is perhaps acting by influencing prostaglandin biosynthesis.
