Copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes with clinically used antifungal drug fluconazole (fcz), {[CuCl(fcz)]5HO}, , and {[ZnCl(fcz)]·2CHOH}, , were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. The polymeric structure of the complexes comprises four fluconazole molecules monodentately coordinated via the triazole nitrogen and two chlorido ligands. With respect to fluconazole, complex showed significantly higher antifungal activity against and . All tested compounds reduced the total amount of ergosterol at subinhibitory concentrations, indicating that the mode of activity of fluconazole was retained within the complexes, which was corroborated via molecular docking with cytochrome P450 sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) as a target. Electrostatic, steric and internal energy interactions between the complexes and enzyme showed that has higher binding potency to this target. Both complexes showed strong inhibition of filamentation and biofilm formation at subinhibitory concentrations, with being able to reduce the adherence of to A549 cells in vitro. Complex was able to reduce pyocyanin production in between 10% and 25% and to inhibit its biofilm formation by 20% in comparison to the untreated control. These results suggest that complex may be further examined in the mixed infections.
制备了铜(II)和锌(II)与临床使用的抗真菌药物氟康唑(fcz)的配合物{[CuCl(fcz)]·5H₂O}和{[ZnCl(fcz)]·2CH₃OH},并通过光谱和晶体学方法对其进行了表征。配合物的聚合物结构由四个通过三唑氮单齿配位的氟康唑分子和两个氯配体组成。相对于氟康唑,配合物对[具体菌种1]和[具体菌种2]显示出显著更高的抗真菌活性。所有测试化合物在亚抑制浓度下均降低了麦角甾醇的总量,表明氟康唑的活性模式在配合物中得以保留,这通过以细胞色素P450甾醇14α-脱甲基酶(CYP51)为靶点的分子对接得到了证实。配合物与酶之间的静电、空间和内能相互作用表明[配合物名称1]对该靶点具有更高的结合能力。两种配合物在亚抑制浓度下均强烈抑制[具体菌种3]的丝状化和生物膜形成,其中[配合物名称1]能够在体外降低[具体菌种3]对A549细胞的粘附。与未处理的对照相比,配合物[配合物名称2]能够使铜绿假单胞菌的绿脓菌素产量降低10%至25%,并抑制其生物膜形成20%。这些结果表明,配合物[配合物名称2]可能在混合[具体菌种4]感染中得到进一步研究。
