Diastereomeric bactericidal effect of Ru(phenanthroline)2dipyridophenazine

چکیده
Metal susceptibility assays and spot plating were used to investigate the antimicrobial activity of enantiopure [Ru(phen)2 dppz]2+ (phen =1,10-phenanthroline and dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2´,3´-c]phenazine) and [μ-bidppz(phen)4 Ru2 ]4+ (bidppz =11,11´-bis(dipyrido[3,2-a:2´,3´-c]phenazinyl)), on Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis as bacterial models. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) were determined for both complexes: while [μ-bidppz(phen)4 Ru2 ]4+ only showed a bactericidal effect at the highest concentrations tested, the antimicrobial activity of [Ru(phen)2 dppz]2+ against B. subtilis was comparable to that of tetracyline. In addition, the Δ-enantiomer of [Ru(phen)2 dppz]2+ showed a 2-fold higher bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect compared to the Λ-enantiomer. This was in accordance with the enantiomers relative binding affinity for DNA, thus strongly indicating DNA binding as the mode of action.

The prevalence of antibiotic resistance has resulted in the need for new approaches to be developed to combat previously easily treatable infections. The main aim of this work was to establish the potential of the synthetic α-diimine chromium(III) and ruthenium(II) complexes (where the α-diimine ligands are bpy = 2,2-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]-phe...

The novel multifunctional thin films composed of transition metal complex tris(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) Ru(phen)3Cl2 (abbr Ru(phen)3, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), and Dawson-type polyoxometalate [P2Mo18O62]6− (abbr P2Mo18) were fabricated on quartz, silicon and ITO substrates by layer-by-layer (LBL) method. The LBL films deposition were found to be linearly related to the number of bil...
