Biomedical and antifungal application of Cu (II) soaps and its urea complexes derived from various oils

Abstract

The deeper understanding of the role of metal ion in bio-system has led to the awareness that metal complexation is useful in the treatment of bacterial, fungicidal and viral diseases. Most of the antimicrobial agents are obviously organic compounds, which behave as good chelating agent. Their pathogenic activity is enhanced on complexing with various transition and toxic metals. The biological effect of these derivatives depends upon the nature and structure of ligands and their metal complexes and also on the presence of particular element.1–3
