Synthesis, antimicrobial and antimutagenic effects of novel polymeric-Schiff bases including indol

Abstract

Herein, the synthesis and characterization of three new polymeric-Schiff bases including indol (L-1, L-2, L-3) were reported. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of all compounds were investigated by the well-diffusion method against some selected microorganisms as potential antimicrobial agents. In addition, the anti-genotoxic properties of these polymeric-Schiff bases were examined against sodium azide in human lymphocyte cells by micronuclei (MN) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) tests.
