ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF A MIXED LIGANDED Cu2+ COMPLEX OF β-(N-BENZOXAZOLINE-2- THION)PROPIONIC ACID AND 1,10-PHENANTHROLINE
In this article, the antimicrobial activity of the Cu2+ complex with a mixed ligand of β-(N-benzoxazoline-2-thione) propionic acid
(ВОР) and 1,10-phenanthroline was studied in vitro against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans strains. As a
result of the studies, the maximum bactericidal activity was observed in the [Cu(phen)2(BOP)(H₂O)2]·(BOP)(H₂O)3 sample (0.03
μm/mol) (growth inhibition zone Escherichia coli 35mm ± 0.3mm, Bacillus subtilis 40mm ± 0.4mm and Candida albicans 36mm
± 0.4mm).
