The paper presents the synthesis of the 2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-allyl-S-methylisothiosemicarbazone and five coordination compounds of copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(III) with this ligand. New synthesized substances were studied using IR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopies, elemental analysis, molar conductivity and magnetochemical research. It was studied in vitro antimicrobial and antifungal activities against a wide range of standard strains Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherihia coli (ATCC 25922), Klebsiella pneumonae and Candida albicans for synthesized substances. The study of the antiproliferative properties in vitro of the pro-ligand and complexes was tested on the human myeloid leukemia HL-60 and cervical cancer HeLa cells.
