Structural Characterization, Antimicrobial Activity and BSA/DNA Binding Affinity of New Silver(I) Complexes with Thianthrene and 1,8-Naphthyridine

Three new silver(I) complexes [Ag(NO )(tia)(H O)] ( ), [Ag(CF SO )(1,8-naph)] ( ) and [Ag (1,8-naph) (H O) ](PF ) ( ), where tia is thianthrene and 1,8-naph is 1,8-naphthyridine, were synthesized and structurally characterized by different spectroscopic and electrochemical methods and their crystal...

Zusammenfassung:Three new silver(I) complexes [Ag(NO )(tia)(H O)] ( ), [Ag(CF SO )(1,8-naph)] ( ) and [Ag (1,8-naph) (H O) ](PF ) ( ), where tia is thianthrene and 1,8-naph is 1,8-naphthyridine, were synthesized and structurally characterized by different spectroscopic and electrochemical methods and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Their antimicrobial potential was evaluated against four bacterial and three species, and the obtained results revealed that these complexes showed significant activity toward the Gram-positive Gram-negative and the investigated species with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range 1.56-7.81 μg/mL. On the other hand, tia and 1,8-naph ligands were not active against the investigated strains, suggesting that their complexation with Ag(I) ion results in the formation of antimicrobial compounds. Moreover, low toxicity of the complexes was detected by in vivo model . The interaction of the complexes with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied to evaluate their binding affinity towards these biomolecules for possible insights into the mode of antimicrobial activity. The binding affinity of - to BSA was higher than that for DNA, indicating that proteins could be more favorable binding sites for these complexes in comparison to the nucleic acids.
