Abstract

The discovery of the antibacterial activities of sulfonamides and their applications in the treatment of infections resulted in an increase of life time and reduction of human mortality. However, their indiscriminate use led to the appearance of multiresistant bacterial strains, making the search for new drugs an important area of research. One of the strategies for the development of new antibacterial drugs is the modification of existing molecules. The Schiff bases from sulfonamides constitute a promising class of molecules for the treatment of bacterial infections. Beyond the modification of the free sulfonamides, there is also the possibility of combining the existing sulfonamides with metals that possess recognized antibacterial activities, such as copper, silver, palladium and platinum, aiming synergistic effects and the obtention of new compounds active against multiresistant strains. In this context, this project aims the synthesis of new metal complexes with two sulfonamides, sulfamethoxydiazine and sulfadimetoxina, and their Schiff bases. The ligands and the respective complexes will be synthesized in aqueous or alcoholic solutions and characterized by a set of chemical and spectroscopic analyses, with emphasis to nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of 1H, 13C and {15N,1H} and high resolution mass spectrometry. The antibacterial activities of the compounds will be initially evaluated by the disc diffusion method (antibiogram). Afterwards, the active compounds will have their minimum inhibitory concentration determined over both Gram-positive (S. aureus and E. faecalis) and Gram-negative (P. aeruginosa and E. coli). Citotoxicity studies of the sulfonamides and the complexes will be performed over different cell lines in order to evaluate their selectivity and the potential of topical application for the treatment of skin infections.
