Fourteen new camphorimine Au(I) complexes were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (NMR, FTIR) and elemental analysis. The structural arrangement of three selected examples were computed by Density Functional Theory (DFT) showing that the complexes essentially keep the AuI-CN} unit. The Minimum Inhibition Concentrations (MIC) were assessed for all complexes showing that they are active towards the Gram-negative strains E. coli ATCC25922, P. aeruginosa 477, and B. contaminans IST408 and the Gram-positive strain S. aureus Newman. The complexes display very high activity towards P. aeruginosa 477 and B. contaminans IST408 with selectivity towards B. contaminans. An inverse correlation between the MIC values and the gold content was found for B. contaminans and P. aeruginosa. However, plots of MIC values and Au content for P. aeruginosa 477 and B. contaminans IST408 follow distinct trends. No clear relationship could be established between the MIC values and the redox potentials of the complexes measured by cyclic voltammetry. The MIC values are essentially independent of the redox potentials either cathodic or anodic. The complexes K3[Au(CN)2}3(A4L)] (8, Y = m-OHC6H4) and K3[Au(CN)2}3(B2L)]·3H2O (14, Z = p-C6H4) display the lower MIC values for the two strains. In normal fibroblast cells, the IC50 values for the complexes are ca. one order of magnitude lower than their MIC values, although higher than that of the precursor KAu(CN)2.
合成了14个新的
松香胺Au(I)配合物,并通过光谱学(NMR,FTIR)和元素分析进行了表征。通过密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,选取了三个样品的结构排列,显示配合物基本保持AuI-CN}单元。评估了所有配合物的最小抑菌浓度(MIC),显示它们对革兰氏阴性菌E. coli A
TCC25922、P. aeruginosa 477和B. contaminans IST408以及革兰氏阳性菌S. aureus Newman都具有活性。配合物对P. aeruginosa 477和B. contaminans IST408表现出非常高的活性,对B. contaminans具有选择性。对于B. contaminans和P. aeruginosa,MIC值与
金含量呈反相关。然而,对于P. aeruginosa 477和B. contaminans IST408的MIC值和
金含量的图表遵循不同的趋势。通过循环伏安法测量的配合物的氧化还原电位与MIC值之间没有明显的关系。MIC值无论是阴极还是阳极电位都基本独立。配合物K3[Au(CN)2}3(A4L)](8,Y = m-OH )和K3[Au(CN)2}3(B2L)]·3H2O(14,Z = p-
C6H4)对两种菌株的MIC值较低。在正常成纤维细胞中,配合物的IC50值约比它们的MIC值低一个数量级,但高于前体KAu(CN)2的IC50值。
