英文摘要：

Schiff base and its metal complexes have significant antimicrobial,antitumor and antioxidant activities. In order to screen the high-efficiency drugs with low toxicity,a large number of Schiff bases and their metal complexes have been synthesized,and the bioactivity screening of these ligands and complexes were performed. In present paper,the progress of synthesis,antimicrobial,antitumor and antioxidant activities of some kinds of Schiff bases and their metal complexes are reviewed.
