... character of the central metal atom, which subsequently favors its permeation through the lipid layers of cell membrane. The general trend of growth of inhibition against the fungi was found to lie in the order: (7) > (8) > (3) > (4) > (L7) > (L8) > (L3) > (L4) for A. flavus and (3) > (7) > (8) > (4) > (L3) > (L7) > (L8) > (L4) for Fusar- ium (Fig. 2). Though there is sufficient increase in the fungicidal activity of ruthenium complexes as compared to the free ligands, it could not reach the effectiveness of the conventional fungicide amphotericin and ...
