Synthesis and antifungal potential of a ruthenium(II) complex

Metal ion dependent processes are found throughout the life science and vary tremendously in their function and complexity. The interaction of ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes with DNA has been a topic of major bioinorganic interest. A new mixed ligand ruthenium(II) complex containing benzimidazolyl terpyridine and bipyridine ligands has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ESI-MS and UV–Visible spectroscopic techniques. The complex has been screened for its in-vitro antifungal activity against some pathogenic fungal strains by using disc diffusion method
