Studies of the effect of anions (chloride, sulphate, nitrate, oxalate and acetate) on the pharmacological properties ofcobalt (ii) complexes with dithiooxamide-derived antibacterial agents

Abstract

A number of cobalt (II) complexes with dithiooramide derived antibacterial agents having different anions i.e., chloride, sulphate, nitrate, oxalate and acetate have been synthesised, and the effect of anions on antibacterial properties of these complexes against bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli has been determined.
