Abstract

Cu (II) complexes of the type [Cu (NFL)(Ln) Cl](Ln= substituted terpyridines, NFL= norfloxacin) were synthesised and characterized. Antibacterial activity was assayed against selective Gram (+ ve) and Gram (− ve) microorganisms using the double dilution technique. The binding behavior of the complexes toward Herring Sperm (HS) DNA was determined using absorption titration and hydrodynamic measurements, whereas the cleavage ...
