Antimicrobial Activity of Ethylenediaminedisuccinate Metal Complexes. Short Communication

Abstract: It is shown that metal complexes of the biodegradable ligand ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (edds) present antimicrobial activity towards fungi and bacteria. [Cd(edds)], in particular, is more toxic than free Cd2+ to Aspergillus niger, behaving as a 'Trojan Horse' in the facilitated delivery of the toxic metal into the fungus.

“…Nevertheless, for the three cadmium complexes the toxicity on MRC5 was negative at 1 lg/mL and largely diminished (30% or 100% less active) at 10 lg/mL in comparison to the values obtained for the salts. This have been already observed, that free ions are more toxic than their complexes, probably due to the decreased bioavaibility of the metal ion [24]. So, it could be thought that [CdBr 2 (3TTSCH) 2 ], [CdBr 2 (3TTSCH)] and [CdCl 2 (3TTSCH)] could be interesting as antifungal therapeutic especially on A. fumigatus with high values between 50 and 55 mm.…”

“…It is well‐known that microorganisms secrete chelators in their environment to capture free iron essential for their growth. It may be interesting to test the capacity of our complexes to chelate this metal in perspective of interfering in the development processes of such pathogenic microorganisms [45] . Due to the efficiency of our compounds against human pathogens, they may be used as potential antiseptic agents.…”
