Streszczenie

The studies on metal complexes as potential antifungals are of growing interest because they may be the answer to increasingly effective defense mechanisms. Herein we present two new copper(I) iodide or thiocyanide complexes with 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) and diphenylphosphine derivative of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (4MP): [CuI(dmp)4MP] (1-4MP) and [CuNCS(dmp)4MP] (2-4MP) - their synthesis, as well as structural and spectroscopic characteristics. Interestingly, while 4MP and its oxide derivative (4MOP) show a very low or no activity against all tested Candida albicans strains (MIC50 ≥ 200 μM against CAF2–1 - laboratory control strain, DSY1050 - mutant without transporters Cdr1, Cdr2, Mdr1; isogenic for CAF2–1, and fluconazole resistant clinical isolates), for 1-4MP and 2-4MP MIC50 values were 0.4 μM, independently on the complex and strain tested. Determination of the viability of NHDF-Ad (Normal Adult Human Dermal Fibroblasts) cell line treated with 1-4MP and 2-4MP showed that for both complexes there was only a 20% reduction in the concentration range ¼ to 2 × MIC50 and the 70% at 4 × MIC50. Subsequently, the MLCT based luminescence of the complexes in aqueous media allowed to record the confocal micrographs of 1-4MP in the cells. The results show that it is situated most likely in the vacuoles (C. albicans) or lysosomes (NHDF-Ad).
