    Abstract: Antibiotic resistance has been growing at an alarming rate and consequently the activity of antibiotics has dropped dramatically day by day. Metal complex [Co (SB) (SCN)] (where, SB = 2-[(6-Amino-hexylimino)-methyl] phenol) have been reported for the purpose of searching new antimicrobial agents. The Schiff base and it’s transition metal complex wa... Show More

    Abstract: In response to stress conditions such as wounding or infections in insects, several short peptides are processed to act as cytokines that induce AMP gene expression. To study their structure-activity relationship, immune inducibility, tissue specificity, stress responsiveness, and development relatedness, we chemically synthesized Manduca sexta str... Show More
