A New Complex of Palladium(II) With 2-Furoic Hydrazide: Synthesis, Characterization, Theoretical Calculations and Biological Studies
A new complex of palladium was isolated with 2-furoic hydrazide (FH) and characterized by
spectroscopic methods. The results show that the ligand is coordinated to palladium by the basic nitrogen
of NH2 group and has a general structure of type cis-[Pd(FH)2Cl2]. The structure of palladium(II) complex
was optimized and theoretical data show good agreement with the experimental results. The cytotoxic
activity was evaluated in a chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line, which revealed that the compound is
less active than cisplatin or carboplatin. At 300 g mL−1, the complex presented antimicrobial activity
more efficient than ampicillin, chloranfenicol and kanamicyn. (doi: 10.5562/cca2151
Tetraciclinas e glicilciclinas: uma visão geral
Tetracyclines exhibits activity to a broad range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and this fact allied to the low toxicity, low cost, and the advantage of administration by oral route led to their indiscriminate use, which caused the appearance of bacterial resistance to these agents, wich has restricted its clinical utility, though new applications have emerged. On the other hand, the glycylcyclines, semi-synthetic products are similar to tetracyclines, which are active against many bacteria resistant to tetracycline and other classes of antibiotics. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of this important class of antibiotics focusing on its coordination chemistry and possible applications
Synthesis and characterizationof a new complex binuclear of binuclear of Pd(II) containing the antibioticoxy tetracycline
This article reports the synthesis and characterization of a new binuclear complex of palladium (II) containing the antibiotic oxytetracycline. The complex was characterized by the usual techniques of analysis. With respect to sites of coordination, the IR spectral data suggests the involvement the oxygen of the amide group and the oxygen of the neighbor hydroxyl group at ring A and to the carbonyl oxygen at C11 and the hydroxyl group at C12.Este artigo descreve a síntese e caracterização de um novo complexo binuclear de paládio (II) contendo o antibiótico oxitetraciclina. O complexo foi caracterizado pelas técnicas usuais de análise. Pela análise do espectro de infravermelho sugerimos que o íon paládio(II) coordena-se no anel A, mais especificamente nos oxigênios da amida e da hidroxila vizinha no anel A e aos oxigênios da carbonila em C11 e da hidroxila em C12
Photoinduced DNA Cleavage Promoted by Two Copper(II) Complexes of Tetracyclines and 1,10-Phenanthroline
In this report, we demonstrate how UV-light exposure can enhance DNA cleavage promoted by two copper(II) complexes of tetracyclines and 1,10-phenanthroline about 40 times in comparison to nonirradiated conditions. In addition, new aspects regarding their DNA binding properties, as well as the mechanism of the cleavage reaction, were also investigated
Coordenação de metais a antibióticos como uma estratégia de combate à resistência bacteriana
Antibiotic resistance has been growing at an alarming rate and consequently the arsenal of effective antibiotics against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria has dropped dramatically. In this sense there is a strong need to produce new substances that not only have good spectrum of activity, but having new mechanisms of action. In this regard, this paper emphasizes the coordination of metals to antibiotics as a strategy for reversing antibiotic resistance and production of new drugs, with a special focus on quinolones, fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides and tetracyclines
