| Summary: | Cephradine belongs to the first generation cephalosporin having a broad range of anti-bacterial activities. In the
present work, Cephradine wasreacted with different metal salts. These metal salts were Iron, Copper, Cobalt and Nickel
salts. All the complexes of Cephradine metals were synthesized at room temperature using a mechanical vibrator.
The reactions yielded the coordinated complexes within 5-10 min with improved product yield. The synthesized
complexes were analyzed for their antibacterial power using disc diffused assay. All the Cephradine complexes showed
powerful antibacterial activity. The Co, Cu, Ni and Sn complexes showed good antibacterial activities 18.5 mm by Cu
complexes against S. typhi, 17 mm against B. subtillus 16.5 mm against S. aureus, 16 mm against S. coccus. Similarly
Sn complexes exhibited 17 mm zone of inhibition against S. coccus and 15.5 mm against B. subtillus. Cobalt and Ni
complexes also shed significant inhibition activities against bacterial pathogenic bacterial strains. The study is of
particular importance and new, using mechanical vibrator for the first time. The product yield is also comparatively
good with short reaction time. |
