Anti-escherichia coli non-pathogenic strain activity of complex compound based on copper(Ii) and 2,4,5-triphenyl-1h-imidazole

The complex of Copper(II) binding 2,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole ligand is a new copper complex and exhibits therapeutic properties to bacteria. The present observation is focused on anti-Escherichia coli non-pathogenic strain using disc diffusion method. Copper(II)-2,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole complex compound showed anti-Escherichia coli non-pathogenic strain activity with a range of inhibition zone 14.51-17.37 mm and compared with free metal Cu(II) less reactive with a range of inhibition zone 10.57-27.16 mm, but more no toxic in the Vero cells with CC₅₀ 44.74 µg/ml.
