Abstract
![]()
Several metal-based
carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs)
are active CO donors with established antibacterial activity. Among
them, CORM conjugates with azole antibiotics of type [Mn(CO)3(2,2′-bipyridyl)(azole)]+ display important synergies
against several microbes. We carried out a structure–activity
relationship study based upon the lead structure of [Mn(CO)3(Bpy)(Ctz)]+ by producing clotrimazole (Ctz) conjugates
with varying metal and ligands. We concluded that the nature of the
bidentate ligand strongly influences the bactericidal activity, with
the substitution of bipyridyl by small bicyclic ligands leading to
highly active clotrimazole conjugates. On the contrary, the metal
did not influence the activity. We found that conjugate [Re(CO)3(Bpy)(Ctz)]+ is more than the sum of its parts:
while precursor [Re(CO)3(Bpy)Br] has no antibacterial activity
and clotrimazole shows only moderate minimal inhibitory concentrations,
the potency of [Re(CO)3(Bpy)(Ctz)]+ is one order
of magnitude higher than that of clotrimazole, and the spectrum of
bacterial target species includes Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacteria. The addition of [Re(CO)3(Bpy)(Ctz)]+ to Staphylococcus aureus causes a
general impact on the membrane topology, has inhibitory effects on
peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and affects energy functions. The mechanism
of action of this kind of CORM conjugates involves a sequence of events
initiated by membrane insertion, followed by membrane disorganization,
inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis, CO release, and break down
of the membrane potential. These results suggest that conjugation
of CORMs to known antibiotics may produce useful structures with synergistic
effects that increase the conjugate’s activity relative to
that of the antibiotic alone.
