They all have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (elemental analysis, FTIR, and 1H NMR and the ligand 1,3-bis(2-methoxyphenyl) thiourea was synthesized by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique). The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against four strains of bacteria (Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis). The antitumor potential was evaluated in terms of activity against brine shrimp eggs and DNA interaction. The mixed ligand complexes have exhibited moderate antibacterial activity and promising antitumor potential. © 2014 Hizbullah Khan et al. publisher: Hindawi Publishing Corporation date: 2014 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Khan, H. and Daraz, N. and Khan, M.N. and Said, M. and Akhtar, N. and Badshah, A. and Khan, A.S. and Ali, M.
