Abstract:
Aim: In the annals of human history, infectious diseases significantly influencing the collective well-being of people worldwide. Consequently, to identify effective agents for infectious ailments, the octahedral Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) complexes of 4-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-amine and 2-methoxy-1-napthaldehyde based ligand were synthesized and well characterized in the current investigation.Results & methodology: The synthesized compounds were evaluated for anti-TB, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal activities by microplate Alamar blue, bovine serum albumin, serial dilution assays. The [Zn(L1)2(H2O)2] complex (5) demonstrates robust potency with 0.0040 ± 0.0007 and 0.0038 μmol/ml MIC value in anti-tuberculosis and antimicrobial activities, correspondingly while 06.57 ± 0.03 μM IC50 value in anti-inflammatory investigation.Conclusion: Complex (5) show promising potential as targets for pathogen deformities, supported by rigorous biological and computational investigations including pharmacophore modelling, molecular docking (binding score -121.018 and -59.8662 kcal/mol for 6H53 and 1CX2 proteins, respectively), DFT (Density functional theory), MESP (Molecular Electrostatic Potential) and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity).

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
