title: Biological role of anions (sulfate, nitrate, oxalate and acetate) on the pharmacological properties of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chelates with thienoyl- and furenoyl-derived compounds.
abstract: Biologically active complexes of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) with thienoyl- and furenoyl-derived Schiff-base ligands having the same metal ion but different anions such as sulfate, nitrate, oxalate and acetate have been prepared and characterized. In order to evaluate the role of anions on their pharmacological properties the synthesized complexes have been screened against bacterial species, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and results have been reported.
