Cephalexin and its derivatives are commonly utilized in the pharmaceutical and medicinal industry due
to their biological and pharmaceutical activities, including anti-microbial, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial,
and herbicidal activities as well as possessing high palatability and being useful for skin and joint
infections. Interestingly, some organic drugs, including cephalexin, which exhibit toxicological and
pharmacological properties, can be administered in forms of metal complexes. Many researchers have
synthesized organic ligands derived from cephalexin in forms of Schiff bases and azo compounds which
exhibited higher biological and medicinal properties when compared to cephalexin alone. One of the
important features that make Schiff base more desirable when used for coordination complexation is
possessing the ability to coordinate with the metal ions via forming chelating rings, which make them
very effective when it comes to clinical and analytical applications. In this re
