Synthesis and Anti-Amoebic Activity of Gold(I), Ruthenium(II), and Copper(II) Complexes of Metronidazole

Abstract: A series of Au, Ru, and Cu complexes of metronidazole (= [1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole; 1) were prepared as highly potent anti-amoebic drugs. The complexes [Au(PPh3)(1)]PF6 (2), [Ru(1)2(Cl)2(H2O)2] (3), and [Cu(1)2(mu-Cl)(H2O)]2Cl2 (4) were readily synthesized from [Au(PPh3)Cl], RuCl3 x 3 H2O, and CuCl2 x 2 H2O, respectively. All complexes were thoroughly characterized by IR, UV/VIS, 1H-NMR, FAB-MS, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses, and, in the case of 4, also by X-ray crystallograp… Show more

“…medications that are considered to be effective and safe to meet the most important needs in a health system (WHO, 2015). Despite the widespread use of MET as a drug, relatively little structural data concerning its interactions with metal ions exist, and there are few structurally characterized copper compounds of MET (Galvá n-Tejada et al, 2002;Barba-Behrens et al, 1991;Athar et al, 2005;Ratajczak-Sitarz et al, 1998;Bharti et al, 2002). Our recent work has sought to develop further metal-MET chemistry and we have reported structures containing Cu Quinlivan & Upmacis, 2016), as well as Ag and Au (Quinlivan et al, 2015).…”

“…In addition to coordination to silver, metronidazole has also been shown to coordinate to other metals, and structurally characterized compounds have been reported for Co (Galvá n-Tejada et al, 2002), Cu (Galvá n-Tejada et al, 2002;Barba-Behrens et al, 1991;Athar et al, 2005;Ratajczak-Sitarz et al, 1998;Bharti et al, 2002), Zn (Galvá n-Tejada et al, 2002), Ru (Wu et al, 2003;Kennedy et al, 2006), Rh (Dyson et al, 1990;Nothenberg et al, 1994), Pd (Bharti et al, 2002;De Bondt et al, 1994;Rochon et al, 1993) and Pt (Bharti et al, 2002;Bales et al, 1983). In these compounds, the coordination number of the central atom ranges from four for Cu, Zn, Pd and Pt to six for Ru and Rh.…”

“…Recently, many efforts have been devoted to developing some new substitutes for the medicine, i.e. i) metal-organic coordination compounds (Kennedy et al, 2006;Galván-Tejada et al, 2002;Athar et al, 2005;Bharti et al, 2002;Wu et al, 2003), ii) organic substitute derivatives (Crozet et al, 2002, Skupin et al, 1997 and iii) pharmaceutical co-crystals. In this paper, we report the 1:1 molecular adduct formed by metronidazole 5-sulfosalicylic acid (5-H 2 SSA), (I).…”
