Abstract
[Co(AMPY)(DAPY)Cl2(H2O)].H2O (1) [Cu(AMPY)(DAPY)Cl2(H2O)].H2O (2) [Zn(AMPY)(DAPY)Cl2(H2O)] (3) were prepared from the ligands; AMPY = 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine (L1), DAPY = 2,3-diaminopyridine (L2) and CoCl2.6H2O, CuCl2.2H2O and ZnCl2 in water/ethanol solutions and the three products characterized by elemental analysis, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity methods, and TGA analysis. The X-ray powder diffraction of the Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) compounds showed that the geometry of monoclinic and SEM analysis revealed their morphology with a smooth surface. Molecular modeling was performed for all compounds using the density functional method DFT/B3LYP to study the structures and the frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO). We have used Gaussian09 software for the calculations. In this study, different complexes were tested against Gram negative and Gram positive bacterial species to give insight into their broad-spectrum effects. The used pathogenic strains were two Gram positive species "Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus" and two Gram negative species "Salmonella thyphimurium and Escherichia coli. The antifungal activity was evaluated against a pathogenic reference strain of the yeast Candida albicans. The antimicrobial and antioxidant assay results demonstrate that the tested compounds are effective against Gram positive and negative bacteria. Additionally, the compounds have an antifungal effect against Candida albicans with a maximum inhibitory zone of 2.5cm. The results demonstrated high antioxidant potential for the Zn(II) complex with a DPPH scavenging of 91.5%, however, the Cu(II) complex was low (16.5%). The data of docking with tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase presented that all compounds fit very well in the catalytic pockets of the proteins of the receptor.
