Abstract
The rise of antimicrobial resistance for infectious bacteria has become an alarming issue to human health. New antimicrobial drugs are in dire need and pivotal to overcome this issue. In this study, aspirinate azo ligands bearing different halogens L1-5 has been prepared via diazo-coupling reaction. The ligands L1-5 were coordinated with silver, Ag (I) metal to produce Ag (I) aspirin-azo complexes C1-5. The antibacterial properties of L1-5 and C1-5 were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using turbidimetric kinetic method. The complexes C1-5 showed comparable growth inhibition activity towards E. coli (MIC 82-105 ppm) and S. aureus (MIC 80-105 ppm) compared to ligands L1-5 with E. coli (MIC 83-200 ppm), S. aureus (80-131 ppm) and ampicillin (MIC 93 and 124 ppm, respectively). The excellent bacterial resistance of both L1-5 and C1-5 indicates the potential of aspirinate azo and their complexes as new antibacterial agents, which significantly benefit to the pharmaceutical industries.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
