Synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of the β-lactum antibiotic, cefdinir

Abstract: In this study, the coordination chemistry of the antibiotic, cefdinir, and its metal complexes with Cu (II) and Zn (II) was described and characterized on the basis of analytical and spectral studies. The synthesized complexes were evaluated in vitro for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli. The metal complexes possessed the better antibacterial activity against the selected species of bacteria than the free antibiotic (cefdinir). The results were … Show more

“…The presence of metal ions in antibiotic metal complexes can lead to enhancement of their activity and a decrease of toxic properties. [6][7][8] One can use a broad set of different metals for complex formation with antibiotics, but not all of these complexes can possess antibacterial activity. For example, compounds of cefazolin (one of cephalosporins representatives) with Cr(III), Zn(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Sn(II), Fe(III), Ag(I), synthesized earlier, have demonstrated antibacterial properties.…”
