Department of Studies in Chemistry, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysore 570 006, India. ABSTRACT: Novel Charge-transfer (CT) complexes were synthesized in order to determine their antimicrobial and
antioxidant activity relationships to improve the efficacy. The purity of the synthesized complexes was judged by their
elemental analyses, and their chemical structures were confirmed by UV-visible, FT-IR and 1H NMR spectral studies.
Among the synthesized compounds, 2a and 2b showed good antimicrobial activity. Compound 1a showed moderate
antioxidant activity compared to standard drug by diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay method.

Introduction
inhibits the growth of H. pylori at concentrations of several The health problem demands to search and synthesize a micrograms per milliliter. This inhibition appeared to be new class of antimicrobial compounds which are effective specific to H. pylori since the growth of more than 27 other against pathogenic microorganisms and develop resistance bacterial species was not affected by lansoprazole even at to the antibiotics used in the current regime1-2. 100 mg/ml. Since lansoprazole acts only against H. pylori, Antioxidants are substances that even at low concentration elucidating the mechanism of its bactericidal action will significantly delay or prevent oxidation of easily facilitate the development of drugs to treat H. pylori oxidizable substrates3. The applications of antioxidants are infections13. It is exhibited antifungal activity against industrially widespread in order to prevent the oxidative Candida albicans14. It is widely used for the treatment of degradation of polymers, auto-oxidation of fats, synthetic acid-related gastric diseases due to their ability to inhibit and natural pigments discoloration, etc. There is an acid secretion15. Fluconazole (Flu) is a synthetic antifungal increased interest of using antioxidants for medical agent that can be used for the treatment of a variety of purposes in the recent years4-6.
