IV ABSTRACT This thesis presents the results of the synthesis of metal complexes of sulfa drugs (sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine, sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole and sulfadimethoxine) with secondary ligands, which were subjected to X-ray crystallographic studies. The aim of this work was to synthesise metal complexes of sulfa drugs with secondary nitrogen donor ligands e.g. ammonia, pyridine (py), ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien), 2,2'- bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, A(A^(3-aminopropyl)-bis- (ethylenediamine) (apen) and oxygen donor ligands such as, water and dimethylformamide (DMF) and to investigate the different modes of coordination of the sulfa drugs molecules to the metal ions in the presence of nitrogen/oxygen donor ligands. Chapter 1, details an introduction into the fundamental concepts, procedures and equipment involved in data collection, solution and refinement of single crystal structures. In Chapter 2, a review of the literature on the metal complexes of sulfa drugs along with the main aims of this work is presented. In Chapter 3, the general experimental procedure and synthetic methods have been described for the metal complexes of sulfa drugs whose results and discussion are described in chapter 4. In chapter 4, the crystal structure of sulfadiazine, a new polymorph of sulfamerazine and the syntheses of the metal complexes of sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine and sulfamethazine, their analytical and spectral data along with the X-ray structure determination of the complexes are presented. The complexes studied in this chapter are: A) Cobalt complex {[Co(smz)2(H20)].DMF}„ (3); B) Nickel complexes [Ni(en)3(sdz)2].H20 (4) and [Ni(smr)2(py)2].4py (5); C) copper complexes [Cu(en) 2 (sdz) 2 ] (6), [Cu(dien) 2 (sdz) 2 ] (7), [Cu(en)2(H20)2][smr)2] (8), [Cu(en)2(H20)2][smr)2].H20 (9), [Cu2(smr)4].2DMF (10), [Cu2(smr)4] .2DMSO (11), [Cu(smz)2(apen)].3H2O.CH3OH (12) and {[Cu(smz)2.NH3].2H20}„ (13); D) Zinc complexes [Zn(smz) 2 (NH 3 )2 ] (14) and [Zn(smz)2(py)2].2py (15), E) Cadmium complexes [Cd(dien) 2 (sdz) 2 ].DMF (16), V [Cd(dien)(smr)2].H20 (17), [Cd(sdz)2(bpy)] (18), [Cd(sdz)2(phen)] (19), [Cd(sdz)2(dmbpy)].2DMF (20), [Cd(smr)2(phen)] (21), {[Cd(smz)2(H20)].DMF}„ (22), {[Cd(smz)2(H20)].2H20}„ (23) and [Cd(smz)2(en)].2DMF (24); and F) Mercury complexes [Hg(sdz)2(DMF)2] (25), [Hg(smr)2] (26) [Hg(smr)2(bpy)] (27) and [Hg(smz)2(DMF)2] (28). The structural results for the complexes are discussed and compared with other related complexes. In this context, the different types of coordination geometries, important parameters within the coordination sphere, the various modes of coordination of the sulfa drugs in the anionic form, dimeric polymeric complexes, the role of hydrogen bonds in the formation of the “cation-anion pair” and the packing diagram have been discussed. In Chapter 5, we have described the syntheses and characterisation of the complexes of sulfathiazole, their analytical and spectral data along with the X-ray structure determination of these complexes are presented. The complexes studied are: [(H 2 stz)2 ][N 0 3 ].H 2 0 (29), [C0 CI4 ][(H2 stz)2 ].CH 3 COOH (30) and [Cu(en)2(H20)2][stz)2].2H20 (31). In all the complexes the sulfathiazole molecules act as ionic species. The structural results for the complexes are discussed and compared with other related complexes. In this context, the role of hydrogen bonds in the formation of the “cation-anion pair” and the packing diagram has been discussed. Chapter 6 describes the structure of sulfadimethoxine and synthesis and characterisation of a zinc complex of sulfadimethoxine [Zn(sdm)2(NH3)2].2H20 (33) by analytical and spectral data along with the X-ray structure determination. The structural results of the complex are discussed and compared with other related complexes. The packing diagram of the complex with the hydrogen bonds is discussed in this chapter.

In order to ensure a proper functioning of cell replication and proteins and nucleic acids synthesis processes, folate metabolism rate is also increased in these cases. For this reason, folic acid antagonists have been used since their discovery to treat different kinds of microbial infections, taking advantage of this metabolic difference when compared with human cells. However, resistances to these compounds have emerged since then and only combined therapies are currently used in clinic. In addition, some of these compounds have been found to have an immunomodulatory behavior that allows clinicians using them as anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an updated state-of-the-art on the use of antifolates as antibacterial and immunomodulating agents in the clinical setting, as well as to present their action mechanisms and currently investigated biomedical applications.

  • The Local Use of the Sulfonamide Drugs
    THE LOCAL USE OF THE SULFONAMIDE DRUGS GEORGE CRILE Jr., M.D. Since the introduction of sulfanilamide and its derivatives, the reliance upon chemotherapy for the control of acute surgical infections has temporarily overshadowed the importance of sound surgical princi- ples and often has resulted in the administration of inefficient or inade- quate treatment. Too often, the physician fails to recognize the limita- tions of chemotherapy and vainly attempts to control the infection well beyond the optimum time for surgical intervention. Chemotherapy is very effective in controlling infections from hemo- lytic streptococcus; is moderately effective in controlling staphylococcic infections; but is of slight value when administered systemically in patients infected with the nonhemolytic streptococcus or colon bacillus. However, even in infections caused by the hemolytic streptococcus or the staphylococcus, sulfanilamide and sulfathiazole cannot replace surgery after suppuration has taken place and mechanical drainage of an abscess is required. It is in the treatment of lymphangitis and cellulitis, not in the treatment of abscesses, that chemotherapy has been of the greatest value. The work of Lockwood1 and others has indicated that the products of proteolysis in vitro interfere with the bacteriostatic and bacteriocidal powers of sulfanilamide. The presence of similar substances in undrained abscess cavities probably interferes with the destruction of the organ- isms by chemotherapy. Accordingly, the sulfonamide drugs should supplement rather than replace early and adequate surgical drainage, especially in the presence of suppuration. The local application of the sulfonamide drugs is based upon the principle that the local concentration of the drug in the tissues is ten to twenty times as high as that which can be obtained by any method of systemic administration.

  • Sulfonamides and Sulfonamide Combinations*
    Sulfonamides and Sulfonamide Combinations* Overview Due to low cost and relative efficacy against many common bacterial infections, sulfonamides and sulfonamide combinations with diaminopyrimidines are some of the most common antibacterial agents utilized in veterinary medicine. The sulfonamides are derived from sulfanilamide. These chemicals are structural analogues of ρ-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). All sulfonamides are characterized by the same chemical nucleus. Functional groups are added to the amino group or substitutions made on the amino group to facilitate varying chemical, physical and pharmacologic properties and antibacterial spectra. Most sulfonamides are too alkaline for routine parenteral use. Therefore the drug is most commonly administered orally except in life threatening systemic infections. However, sulfonamide preparations can be administered orally, intramuscularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intrauterally and topically. Sulfonamides are effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Some protozoa, such as coccidians, Toxoplasma species and plasmodia, are generally sensitive. Chlamydia, Nocardia and Actinomyces species are also sensitive. Veterinary diseases commonly treated by sulfonamides are actinobacillosis, coccidioidosis, mastitis, metritis, colibacillosis, pododermatitis, polyarthritis, respiratory infections and toxo- plasmosis. Strains of rickettsiae, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Proteus, Clostridium and Leptospira species are often highly resistant. Sulfonamides are bacteriostatic antimicrobials

  • Effects of Chlortetracycline and Copper Supplementation on Levels of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Feces of Weaned Pigs
    EFFECTS OF CHLORTETRACYCLINE AND COPPER SUPPLEMENTATION ON LEVELS OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN THE FECES OF WEANED PIGS by GETAHUN EJETA AGGA DVM, Addis Ababa University, 2003 MSc, Utrecht University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology College of Veterinary Medicine KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2013 Abstract The use of antibiotics in food animals is of major concern as a purported cause of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human pathogens; as a result, alternatives to in-feed antibiotics such as heavy metals have been proposed. The effect of copper and CTC supplementation in weaned pigs on AMR in the gut microbiota was evaluated. Four treatment groups: control, copper, chlortetracycline (CTC), and copper plus CTC were randomly allocated to 32 pens with five pigs per pen. Fecal samples (n = 576) were collected weekly from three pigs per pen over six weeks and two Escherichia coli isolates per sample were tested phenotypically for antimicrobial and copper susceptibilities and genotypically for the presence of tetracycline (tet), copper (pcoD) and ceftiofur (blaCMY-2) resistance genes. CTC-supplementation significantly increased tetracycline resistance and susceptibility to copper when compared with the control group. Copper supplementation decreased resistance to most of the antibiotics, including cephalosporins, over all treatment periods. However, copper supplementation did not affect minimum inhibitory concentrations of copper or detection of pcoD. While tetA and blaCMY-2 genes were associated with a higher multi-drug resistance (MDR), tetB and pcoD were associated with lower MDR. Supplementations of CTC or copper alone were associated with increased tetB prevalence; however, their combination was paradoxically associated with reduced prevalence.
