A series of group 12 elements for Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) complexes of glibenclamide were synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and magnetic moments. The complexes exhibited significant activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria species. Zn(II) complex showed remarkable hypoglycemic activity whereas Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes exhibited antibacterial activity.
