Synthesis, spectroscopic, thermal characterization, and antimicrobial activity of miconazole drug and its metal complexes

Metal complexes having the general composition [MCl₂(H₂O)₂(L)₂]·yH₂O (where y?=?1?C3, M?=?Mn(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) and L?=?miconazole drug?=?MCNZ) and [MCl₂(H₂O)₂(L)₂]Cl·3H₂O (where M?=?Cr(III) and Fe(III)) have been synthesized. All the synthesized complexes were identified and confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, diffused reflectance, and thermal analyses (TG and DTA) techniques as well as molar conductivity and magnetic moment measurements. The molar conductance data reveals that bivalent metal complexes are non-electrolytes while Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes are electrolytes and of 1:1 type. IR spectral studies reveal that MCNZ is coordinated to the metal ions in a neutral unidentate manner with N donor site of the imidazole-N. On the basis of magnetic and solid reflectance spectral studies, an octahedral geometry has been assigned for the complexes. Detailed studies of the thermal properties of the complexes were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analyses (DTA) techniques and the activation thermodynamic parameters are calculated using Coats?CRedfern method. The free MCNZ drug and its complexes were also evaluated against bacterial species (P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. Coli) and fungi (A. fumigatus, P. italicum, and C. albicans) in vitro. The activity data show that the metal complexes have higher biological activity than the parent MCNZ drug.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic and thermal characterization of some transition metal complexes of folic acid

Compounds having general formula: [M(FO)(Cl)(x)(H(2)O)(y)].zH(2)O, where (M=Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II), FO=folate anion, x=2 or 4, y=2 or 4 and z=0, 1, 2, 3, 5 or 15) were prepared.

The molar conductance measurements proved that the folate complexes are electrolytes. The kinetic thermodynamic parameters such as: E*, DeltaH*, DeltaS* and DeltaG* were estimated from the DTG curves. The antibacterial evaluation of the folic acid and their complexes was also done against some Gram positive/negative bacteria as well as fungi.

Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial investigation of some moxifloxacin metal complexes

The new complexes of moxifloxacin (MOX), with Ti(IV), Y(III), Pd(II) and Ce(IV) have been synthesized. These complexes were then characterized by melting point, magnetic studies and spectroscopic techniques involving infrared spectra (IR), UV-Vis, (1)H NMR. C, H, N and halogen elemental analysis and thermal behavior of complexes also investigated. The results suggested that the molar ratio for all complexes is M: MOX=1:2 where moxifloxacin acts as a bidentate via one of the oxygen atoms of the carboxylate group and through the ring carbonyl group and the complexes have the following formula [Ti(MOX)(2)](SO(4))(2)·7H(2)O, [Y(MOX)(2)Cl(2)]Cl·12H(2)O, [Pd(MOX)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]Cl(2)·6H(2)O and [Ce(MOX)(2)](SO(4))(2)·2H(2)O. The activation energies, E*, enthalpies, ΔH*, entropies, ΔS* and Gibbs free energies, ΔG*, of the thermal decomposition reactions have been derived from thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential thermogravimetric (DrTG) curves, using Coats-Redfern (CR) and Horowitz-Metzger (HM) methods. The antimicrobial activity of these complexes has been evaluated against three Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacteria and compared with the reference drug moxifloxacin. The antibacterial activity of Ti(IV) complex is significant for E. coli K32 and highly significant for S. aureus K1, B. subtilis K22, Br. otitidis K76, P. aeruginosa SW1 and K. oxytoca K42 compared with free moxifloxacin.

The molar conductance data reveal that all the metal chelates are non-electrolytes. From the magnetic and solid reflectance spectra, it is found that the structures of these complexes are octahedral or tetrahedral. The synthesized ligand and metal complexes were screened for antibacterial activity against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.     

Polymer complexes. LXX. Synthesis,spectroscopic studies,thermal properties and antimicrobial activity of metal(II) polymer complexes

The monomer 3‐allyl‐5‐(phenylazo)‐2‐thioxothiazolidine‐4‐one (HL) was prepared by the reaction of allyl rhodanine with aniline through diazo‐coupling reaction. Reaction of HL with Ni(II) or Co(II) salts gave polymer complexes ( 1 – 8 ) with general stoichiometries [M(HL)(Cl)₂(OH₂)₂]_n, [M(HL)(O₂SO₂)(OH₂)₂]_n, [M(L)(O₂NO)(H₂O)₂]_n and [M(L)(O₂CCH₃)(H₂O)₂]_n (where M = Ni(II) or Co(II)). The structures of the polymer complexes were identified using elemental analysis, infrared and electronic spectra, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, X‐ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The interaction between the polymer complexes and calf thymus DNA showed a hypochromism effect. HL and its polymer complexes were tested against bacterial and fungal species. Co(II) polymer complex 2 is the most effective against Klebsiella pneumoniae and is more active than penicillin. The results showed that Ni(II) polymer complex 5 is a good antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Molecular docking was used to predict the binding between the monomer with the receptors of prostate cancer (PDB code: 2Q7L Hormone) and breast cancer (PDB code: 1JNX Gene regulation). Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger methods were applied for calculating the thermodynamic parameters of HL and its polymer complexes. The thermal activation energy of decomposition for HL is higher than that for the polymer complexes.

Homo- and heterometallic complexes based on polytopic carboxylic acid: synthesis,characterization, and property

Two heterometallic [K₄M₄(HL)₄(H₂O)₁₂] (M=Co (1), Ni (2)) and two homometallic [M₂L(H₂O)₇]?·?2H₂O ((M=Co (3), Ni (4)) (H₄L?=?(2-(bis(carboxymethyl)amino) terephthalic acid) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectrum, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The isomorphous 1 and 2 contain K⁺ and M²⁺, in which K⁺ were bridged with M²⁺ through μ-HL^3? and μ-H₂O, leading to 2-D layer structures. The isomorphous 3 and 4 show homometallic binuclear complexes with μ-HL^3? as the bridging ligand. Various H-bonds including different H-bond helical chains form, by which 3 and 4 assemble into 3-D supramolecular frameworks. TG analysis indicates that the decomposition temperatures are [K₄M₄(HL)₄(H₂O)₁₂] (1)?>?[M₂L(H₂O)₇]?·?2H₂O (3)?>?H₄L.     

Mononuclear transition and non-transition complexes of amlodipine besylate as antihypertensive agent: synthesis,spectral, thermal,and antimicrobial studies

Mononuclear Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Ca(II), Pt(IV), Au(III), and Pd(II) complexes of the drug amlodipine besylate (HL) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic technique (IR, UV–Vis, solid reflectance, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and ¹H-NMR) and magnetic measurements. The elemental analyses of the complexes are confirmed by the stoichiometry of the types [M(HL)(X)₂(H₂O)]·nH₂O [M = Mn(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), and Ca(II); X = Cl^? or NO₃ ^?], [Cd(HL)(H₂O)]Cl₂, [Pd(HL)₂]Cl₂, [Pt(L)₂]Cl₂, and [Au(L)₂]Cl, respectively. Infrared data revealed that the amlodipine besylate drug ligand chelated as monobasic tridentate through NH₂, oxygen (ether), and OH of besylate groups in Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Ca(II), and Au(III) complexes, but in Pt(IV) and Pd(II) complexes, the amlodipine besylate coordinates via NH₂ and OH (besylate) groups. An octahedral geometry is proposed for all complexes except for the Cd(II), Pt(IV), and Pd(II) complexes. The amlodipine besylate free ligand and the transition and non-transition complexes showed antibacterial activity towards some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the fungi (Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans).

The antimicrobial activity of these complexes has been screened against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria. Antifungal activity against two different fungi has been evaluated and compared with reference drug sparfloxacin. All the binary and ternary complexes showed remarkable potential antimicrobial activity higher than the recommended standard agents. Ni(II)- and Mn(II) complexes exhibited higher potency as compared to the parent drug against Gram-negative bacteria.     

Synthesis and characterization of norfloxacin-transition metal complexes (group 11, IB): spectroscopic, thermal, kinetic measurements and biological activity

The investigation of the new structures of Ag(I), Cu(II) and Au(III) complexes, [Ag(2)(Nor)(2)](NO(3))(2), [Cu(Nor)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]SO(4).5H(2)O and [Au(Nor)(2) (H(2)O)(2)]Cl(3) (where, Nor=norfloxacin) was done during the reaction of silver(I), copper(II) and gold(III) ions with norfloxacin drug ligand. Elemental analysis of CHN, infrared, electronic, (1)H NMR and mass spectra, as well as thermo gravimetric analysis (TG and DTG) and conductivity measurements have been used to characterize the isolated complexes. The powder XRD studies confirm the amorphous nature of the complexes. The norfloxacin ligand is coordinated to Ag(I) and Au(III) ions as a neutral monodentate chelating through the N atom of piperidyl ring, but the copper(II) complex is coordinated through the carbonyl oxygen atom (quinolone group) and the oxygen atom of the carboxylic group. The norfloxacin and their metal complexes have been biologically tested, which resulted in norfloxacin complexes showing moderate activity against the gram positive and gram negative bacteria as well as against fungi.

Complexes of the type MLCl₂, where M?=?Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) and L is a thiosemicarbazide ligand derived from reaction between naphthofuran-2-carboxyhydrazide and p-chlorophenylisothiocynate (NCClPT)/p-bromophenylisothiocynate (NCBrPT) characterized by elemental analysis, conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, UV-Vis, IR, ¹H?NMR, and ESR. The thiosemicarbazide ligands are bidentate by coordinating through the oxygen of the carbonyl group and the nitrogen of the hydrazide residue.

Metal complexes of omeprazole. Preparation,spectroscopic and thermal characterization and biological activity

Metal complexes of omeprazole (OPZ) are prepared and characterized based on elemental analyses, IR, diffuse reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance and thermal analyses (TGA and DTA) techniques. From the elemental analyses, the complexes have the general formula [M(L)₂]X _n [where M = Cr(III) (X = Cl, n = 3), Ni(II) (X = ClO₄, n = 2) and Zn(II) (X = Cl, n = 2)], and [M(L)₂(H₂O)₂]X _n · yH₂O (where M = Fe(III) (X = Cl, n = 3, y = 0), Co(II) (X = Cl or ClO₄, n = 2, y = 0–4) and Ni(II) (X = Cl, n = 2, y = 4) and [Cu(L)₂]Cl₂ · H₂O. The molar conductance data reveal that all the metal chelates are 3 : 1 electrolytes (for Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes) and 2 : 1 (for the remaining complexes). IR spectra show that OPZ coordinates to the metal ions as neutral bidentate with ON donor sites of the pyridine–N and sulphone-O. The magnetic and solid reflectance spectra indicate octahedral (FeCl₃, CoCl₂, CoClO₄ and NiCl₂), square planar [Cu(II)] and tetrahedral [Mn(II), Cr(III), NiClO₄ and Zn(II)] structures. The thermal behavior of these chelates using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TGA and DTA) techniques indicate the hydrated complexes lose water of hydration followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the successive overlapping OPZ and its metal complexes are screened for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus flavus and fungi (Candida albicans). The activity data show the metal complexes to be more potent/antibacterial than the parent OPZ ligand against one or more bacterial species.

Synthesis,characterization, antimicrobial,and nuclease activity studies of some metal Schiff-base complexes

A Schiff base (L) is prepared by condensation of cuminaldehyde and L-histidine, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and mass spectra. Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes of this Schiff-base ligand are synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, mass, IR, electronic spectra, magnetic moment, electron spin resonance (ESR), CV, TG/DTA, powder XRD, and SEM. The conductance data indicate that all the complexes are 1 : 1 electrolytes. IR data reveal that the Schiff base is a tridentate monobasic donor, coordinating through azomethine nitrogen, imidazole nitrogen, and carboxylato oxygen. The electronic spectral data and magnetic measurements suggest that Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes are tetrahedral, while Cu(II) complex has distorted square planar geometry. XRD and SEM show that Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes have crystalline nature, while the Ni(II) complex is amorphous and the particles are in nanocrystalline phase. The in vitro biological activities of the synthesized compounds were tested against the bacterial species, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus; and fungal species, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, and Candida albicans by the disc diffusion method. The biological study indicates that complexes exhibit more activity than the ligand. The nuclease activity of the ligand and its complexes are assayed on CT DNA using gel electrophoresis in the presence and the absence of H₂O₂. The Cu(II) complex shows increased nuclease activity in the presence of an oxidant when compared to the ligand, Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes.     

Tributyltin(IV) Schiff base complexes with amino acid derivatives: synthesis,characterization and biological activity

The synthesis in one‐pot reactions and structural characterization of six new tri‐n‐butyltin(IV) derivatives of Schiff bases are reported. The compounds are derived from a condensation reaction between l ‐alanine, l ‐valine, l ‐isoleucine, l ‐methionine, l ‐phenylalanine or l ‐tryptophan and 3,5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde. Characterization was completed using elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, one‐ and two‐dimensional solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) as well as solid‐state ¹¹⁹Sn NMR. In addition, the crystal structures of three of the compounds were confirmed using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Although five‐coordinated and polymeric in the solid state, the tin compounds are four‐coordinated and monomeric in solution. The coordination environment around the triorganotin units comprises three carbon atoms and two oxygen atoms from two ligands in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The anti‐proliferative effect of these compounds on the cervical carcinoma cell lines HeLa, CaSki and ViBo was screened in vitro, the compounds showing cytotoxic activity against all three strains and null or low cytotoxic activity (necrotic) as well.

Two new bismuth salts with succinic acid: synthesis,structural, spectroscopic and thermal characterization

Two novel bismuth succinate hydrates, namely, poly[[diaqua(μ₃-butane-1,4-dicarboxylato)hemi(μ-butane-1,4-dicarboxylato)bismuth] monohydrate], {[Bi(C₄H₄O₄)_1.5(H₂O)₂]·H₂O}_n ( 1 ), and poly[[μ-aqua-aqua(μ₃-butane-1,4-dicarboxylato)(μ-butane-1,4-dicarboxylato)-μ-oxido-dibismuth] monohydrate], {[Bi₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂O(H₂O)₂]·H₂O}_n ( 2 ), have been synthesized. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the compounds were characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. The crystal structure analysis revealed that the compounds are coordination polymers, with 1 having a two-dimensional layered structure and 2 displaying a three-dimensional (3D) framework. Fully deprotonated succinate anions (C₄H₄O₄²⁻) in two different conformations (trans and gauche) are included in their composition. The Bi³⁺ cations are surrounded by O atoms from the carboxylate groups of succinate anions and aqua ligands. BiO₉ coordination polyhedra in 1 are connected in pairs by edges. These pairs are bound together by bridging succinate ligands to form layers. Bismuth coordination polyhedra of two different types (BiO₉ and BiO₇) in 2 are connected by edges to form infinite ribbons. Ribbons of polyhedra with bridging succinate ligands form a 3D polymeric structure.     

Synthesis,characterization, thermal,and antimicrobial studies of binuclear metal complexes of sulfa-guanidine Schiff bases

A series of metal complexes of Schiff bases derived from condensation of sulfa-guanidine with 1-benzoylacetone (H₂L¹), 2-hydroxybenzophenol (H₂L²), dibenzoylmethane (H₂L³), 5-methylisatine (H₂L⁴), and 1-methylisatine (H₂L⁵) have been synthesized. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moment measurements, IR, UV–Vis, ¹H NMR, and ESR spectra, as well as thermogravimetric analysis. The low molar conductance values indicate the complexes are nonelectrolytes. IR and ¹H NMR spectra show that H₂L¹–H₂L⁵ are coordinated to metal ions by two bidentate centers. Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes display paramagnetic behavior, whereas the Zn(II)-complex was diamagnetic. All studies confirm the formation of an octahedral geometry for [Cu₂L¹(AcO)₂(H₂O)₆] · 3H₂O (1), [Mn₂L⁴(AcO)₂(H₂O)₆] · 2H₂O (6), [Ni₂L⁴(AcO)₂(H₂O)₆] · 2H₂O (8), a tetrahedral geometry for [Cu₂L²(AcO)₂(H₂O)₂] (2), [Cu₂(L⁴)₂] (4), [Co₂(L⁴)₂] · 2H₂O (7) and [ZnHL⁴(AcO)(H₂O)] · 2H₂O (9) and a trigonal bipyramid geometry for [Cu₂L³(AcO)₂(H₂O)₄] (3) and [Cu₂HL⁵(AcO)₃(H₂O)₃] · H₂O (5). H₂L⁴ was most effective on Gram negative, Gram positive bacteria, and fungi (diameters inhibition zone ranged between 10.5–27.5 mm) after 24 and 48 h, respectively. Complex 8 showed moderate antimicrobial activity. Its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans and Aspargllus flavas was 20 mg L^–1. The compound proved to be of moderate toxicity and its LD₅₀ was 20 mg L^–1.
