Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences volume 10, Article number: 28 (2021)
Abstract
Background
Sulfonamides (sulfa drugs) and the metals like mercury, copper, and silver bear antimicrobial properties. The discovery of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, and fluoroquinolones has reduced their use. However, in some instances these drugs are the first-line treatment. The metal-based sulfonamide (e.g., silver sulfadiazine) is considered as first choice treatment in post-burn therapy while the use of silver nanoparticle-cephalexin conjugate to cure Escherichia coli infection explains the synergistic effect of sulfa drugs and their metal conjugates. With growing interest in metal-based sulfonamides and the Schiff base chemistry, it was decided to synthesize sulfonamide Schiff base metal complexes as antioxidant and antimicrobial agent.
Results
The Fe (III), Ru (III), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Pd (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), and Hg (II) metal complexes of 4-((thiophen-2-ylmethylene)-amino)-benzenesulfonamide (TMABS) were prepared and studied for thermal stability, geometry, and other electronic properties. The ligand TMABS (Schiff base) and its metal complexes were screened in-vitro for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive (+ve) Bacillus subtilis (MTCC-441), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 7443), Gram-negative (-ve) Escherichia coli (MTCC 40), Salmonella typhi (MTCC 3231), and fungal strains Aspergillus niger (MTCC-1344) and Penicillium rubrum by agar well diffusion method. Results summarized in Tables 3, 4, and 5 represent the inhibitory concentration (IC50) in micromole (μM). The zone of inhibition (ZI) in millimeter (mm) represents antimicrobial properties of TMABS and its metal complexes.
Conclusions
The synthesized sulfanilamide Schiff base (TMABS) behaved as a neutral and bidentate ligand coordinating with metal ions through its azomethine nitrogen and thiophene sulfur to give complexes with coordination number of 4 and 6 (Fig. 3). The nucleophilic addition of sulfanilamide amino group (–NH2) group to carbonyl carbon (>C=O) of benzaldehyde gave sulfanilamide Schiff base (imine) (Fig. 2). All the metal complexes were colored and stable at room temperature. With IC50 of 9.5 ± 0.1 and 10.0 ± 0.7 μM, the Co, Cu, and Pd complexes appeared better antioxidant than the ligand TMABS (155.3±0.1 μM). The zone of inhibition (ZI) of Hg (28 mm) and Ru complexes (20 mm) were similar to the ligand TMABS (20 mm) against Aspergillus niger (MTCC-1344) as in Figs. 4, 5, and 6. None of the synthesized derivatives had shown better antimicrobial properties than the standard streptomycin sulfate and fluconazole.
1 Background
Gerhard Domagk introduced prontosil (1) in 1932 as an anti-streptococcal agent. Later, Ernest Fourneau reported its in vivo conversion to active metabolite sulfanilamide (2) (Fig. 1). The sulfanilamide derivatives used to treat diseases like influenza, meningitis, and urinary tract infections [2] were soon phased-out from the clinic. The bacteriostatic nature, narrow spectrum, rapid microbial resistance, dose-dependent systemic toxicity, and discovery of broad-spectrum antibiotics (β-lactams and fluoroquinolones) restricted sulfanilamide to topical applications only. Use of silver-sulfadiazine (a metal conjugate) to treat post-burn infections is an example of it [2].
Prontosil conversion to sulfanilamide [2]
Schiff bases are chemically imine or azomethine (-HC=N) with greater chemical and physical stability [3]. Easy to synthesize and excellent chelating property make Schiff bases an important tool in developing organometallic complexes of multiple geometry. Apart from catalyst in synthetic chemistry [4, 5], the Schiff bases and their metal complexes were also studied for antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, and DNA binding properties [6,7,8,9,10].
In this context, thiophene-2-carbaldehyde Schiff base of sulfanilamide (TMABS) and its metal complexes were synthesized and screened in vitro for the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
2 Methods
2.1 Chemicals and apparatus
Analytical grade reagents and solvents purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and Merck Chemicals (India) were used without further purification. Synthesis of 4-((thiophen-2-ylmethylene)-amino)-benzenesulfonamide (TMABS) was confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on a pre-coated Aluchrosep silica gel 60/UV254 plates (Sd Fine-Chem Ltd., India). Melting point (Mp) of ligand TMABS was recorded in an open capillary tube and reported uncorrected. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were recorded in potassium bromide (KBr) between 4000 and 450 per centimeter (cm−1) on PerkinElmer 100 FTIR spectrophotometer. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) spectrum of ligand TMABS was recorded in positive mode on triple-quadrupole LCMS-6410 from Agilent Technologies. The electronic spectra of metal complexes were recorded on ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer (PerkinElmer) while the carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen (CHN) elemental analyses of ligand and its metal complexes were done on PerkinElmer 240 CHN analyzer. The conductivity of metal complexes (molar conductance, Ω−1 cm2mol−1) were measured in dimethylformamide (DMF) at 10−3 mole (M) using Digisun (D-1909) digital conductivity meter. Gouy balance calibrated with Hg[Co(NCS)4] at 28 degree Celsius (°C) was used to measure magnetic susceptibility (μeff) in Bohr Magneton (BM). Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum of TMABS-Cu (II) was recorded in dimethylformamide (DMF) at 9.5 giga-Hertz (GHz) using WIN-EPR spectrophotometer (Bruker) at liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT). Thermogravimetric analysis of Ru (III), Ni (II), Cu (II), Pd (II), and Zn (II) complexes were recorded using thermal analysis instrument (TAI) SDT Q 600 between 0 and 700 °C.
2.2 Antioxidant property
2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging study was done to evaluate antioxidant property of ligand TMABS and the metal complexes. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as a solvent and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) as reference standard.
2.3 Bacterial and fungal strains
The four pathogenic bacterial strains of Gram-positive (+ve) Bacillus subtilis (MTCC-441), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC-7443), Gram-negative (-ve) Escherichia coli (MTCC 40), Salmonella typhi (MTCC-3231), and two fungal strains of Aspergillus niger (MTCC-1344) and Penicillium rubrum were used for antimicrobial screening.
2.4 Culture medium and solvent
Culture medium in Tables 1 and 2 were used to inoculate the bacterial and fungal strains. DMSO was used as a solvent while streptomycin sulfate and fluconazole as standard against bacterial and fungal strains, respectively.

3.1 Chemistry
3.1.1 Synthesis of 4-((thiophen-2-ylmethylene)amino)benzenesulfonamide [TMABS]
The ligand TMABS was prepared refluxing 0.1 M of thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (4) and 4-aminobenzene sulfonamide (5) in 50 milliliters (mL) of methanol and 0.5 mL of glacial acetic acid for 3 hours (h) (Fig. 2). The precipitated yellow mass (6) was filtered, washed with water, and recrystallized from methanol [11, 12].

3.1.2 General procedure for synthesis of TMABS metal complexes
Chloride salts of Fe (III), Ru (III), Co (II), Cu (II), Pd (II), and Hg (II) and acetate salts of Ni (II), Zn (II), and Cd (II) were used to prepare respective ligand-metal complexes. The Fe (III), Ru (III), and Cu (II) complexes were prepared refluxing 1:2 metal-ligand ratio, while 1:1 ratio was refluxed in anhydrous methanol for 3 h to get Co (II), Ni (II), Pd (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), and Hg (II) complexes. The precipitated solid was filtered; washed successively with water, hot methanol, and ether; and dried under vacuum over fused calcium chloride (CaCl2) [11, 12] (Fig. 3).
3.2 Biology
3.2.1 Antioxidant activity
DPPH radical scavenging assay
Compounds in micro-molar (μM) concentration (10, 50, 100, 200, and 500) were prepared using DMSO as solvent. One milliliter test solution was added into a volumetric flask (10 mL) containing 4 mL of 0.1 millimole (mM) DPPH. The final volume was adjusted to 10 mL with DMSO. The resulting solution was shaken vigorously and incubated at 28 °C in dark for 20 min. Any change in absorbance was measured at 517 nanometers (nm) using UV-vis spectrophotometer. Decrease in absorbance (A) and DPPH scavenging property (in %) were calculated using following formula:
Radical scavenging activity (%) = [(Ao – A1)/Ao ×100]
where Ao is the absorbance of control (DPPH) and A1 is the absorbance of test compounds. The inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were calculated using linear regression algorithm and expressed in μM [13].
3.2.2 Antimicrobial activities
Antibacterial screening
The antibacterial screening of newly synthesized ligand and its metal complexes were done by agar well diffusion method using 24-h old culture of Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 7443), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC441), Escherichia coli (MTCC 40), and Salmonella typhi (MTCC 3231) in sterilized agar media as per literature (Table 1). The test compounds were dissolved in DMSO to get the concentration of 5g/mL. Twenty milliliters of sterilized agar media was poured into each pre-sterilized Petri dish. Excess of the suspension was decanted and the plates were incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. About 60 mL of 24-h old culture suspension was poured and neatly swabbed with pre-sterilized cotton swabs. Wells were prepared using 6-mm sterile cork-borer to which 80 microliters (mL) of test solutions (5g/mL) was added. The plates were incubated further for 24 h at 37 °C. After 24 h of incubation, the zone of inhibition (ZI) in millimeter (mm) was measured and compared with streptomycin sulfate (5g/mL). Each experiment was repeated in triplicate [14, 15].
Antifungal screening
Antifungal screening of ligand (TMABS) and its metal complexes was carried out against Aspergillus niger (MTCC-1344) and Penicillium rubrum in sterilized agar media (Table 2) by agar well diffusion method. In brief, suspension of fungal strains (in 3 mL of saline solution) mixed with 20 mL of sterile agar media was poured into Petri plates. The Petri plates were dried at 37 °C for 1 h. Wells were made on these seeded agar plates using 6-mm sterile cork borer. One hundred milliliters of test solutions (5g/mL in DMSO) was added to each well. The Petri dishes were prepared in triplicate and maintained at 25 °C for 72 h. The ZI (in mm) was measured and compared with fluconazole [15, 16].

4.2 Biological study
The TMABS and its metal complexes were screened for antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Table 3 represents antioxidant results while the antimicrobial properties are summarized in Figs. 4, 5, and 6 and Tables 4 and 5.
5 Discussion
The metal complexes of TMABS were stable, non-hygroscopic, and decomposed gradually at the higher temperature (at room temperature) without melting. The complexes were sparingly soluble in methanol, freely in DMSO, and insoluble in water. Elemental analysis report show Fe (III), Ru (III), and Cu (II) with 2:1 while, Co (II), Ni (II), Pd (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), and Hg (II) complexes with 1:1 metal-ligand stoichiometric ratio. All metal complexes behaved non-electrolyte in DMF except, Fe (III) and Ru (III) [17]. The magnetic study reports find Fe (III), Ru (III), Co (II), and Cu (II) complexes paramagnetic while Ni (II), Pd (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), and Hg (II) complexes as diamagnetic in nature. Biological data suggest them good antioxidant and mild antimicrobial in nature.
5.1 Thermal data
Thermograms of Ru (III), Ni (II), Cu (II), Pd (II), and Zn (II) complexes show them stable at 28 °C. However, the loss in weight with decomposition at elevated temperature was observed. The Ru (III) complex decomposed at 250, Ni (II) at 170, Cu (II) at 286, Pd (II) at 301, and the Zn (II) complex decomposed at 315 °C in a gradual manner.
5.2 IR spectral data
The IR spectra of TMABS and its respective metal complexes showed transmittance peaks for azomethine group (-CH=N-) between 1614 and 1590 cm−1. Lower shift in the position of -CH=N- peaks of metal complexes compared to TMABS ligand indicates the coordination of azomethine nitrogen with metal ions [18]. Further, the transmittance peaks of TMABS-SO2 at 1197 (sym.) and 1362 cm−1 (asy.) remained unchanged in complexes (1203–1197 cm−1), indicating free nature of SO2 [19]. The shift of TMABS -C-S- peak from 763 to 760 to 746 cm−1 indicates its involvement in coordination with metal ions [20]. Based on IR spectral data, it can be concluded that the ligand TMABS is neutral, bidentate in nature and coordinating with respective metal ions via its azomethine nitrogen and thiophene sulfur.
5.3 Electronic spectral data
The TMABS-Fe (III) complex had shown three bands at 12,500, 15,600, and 20,000 cm−1 representing 6A1g→4T1g (G), 6A1g→4T2g (G), and 6A1g→4Eg (G) transitions of high spin octahedral geometry.
The Ru (III) complex revealed bands in the range of 11,640–22,600 cm−1 for 2T2g→4T1g, 2T2g→4T2g, and 2T2g→2A2g, transition of octahedral geometry [21].
The Co (II) complex had shown three bands at 12,080, 15,680, and 19,650 cm−1 assigned to the transitions 4A2 (F)→4T2 (F), 4A2 (F)→4T1 (F), and 4A2 (F)→4T1(P) of tetrahedral geometry [22].
The Ni (II) complex had shown bands in the range of 15,150–21,800 cm−1. The Cu (II) complex had revealed another broad peak in the region 15,000–21,500 cm−1 that could be assigned to the transitions 2B1g→2B2g and 2B1g→2Eg of a square-planar geometry [23].
The Pd (II) complex had shown three peaks around 16,100, 18,200, and 23,800 cm−1 which could be assigned for the transitions 1A1g→1A2g, 1A1g→1B1g, and 1A1g→1Eg of square-planar geometry [24].
The Zn (II), Cd (II), and Hg (II) complexes did not show any d-d band in their electronic spectra. Based on analytical, conductance, and infrared spectral data, the tetrahedral geometry is assigned. It is the most preferred geometry for a tetra-coordinated d10 type system.
Based on electronic spectral and other data, the Fe (III), Ru (III), and Cu (II) complexes were assigned octahedral; Ni (II) and Pd (II) complexes were assigned to square planar; and the Co (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), and Hg (II) complexes a tetrahedral geometry.
5.4 ESR spectrum
The ESR spectrum of Cu (II) complex was anisotropic in nature with g|| >g⊥ indicating the presence of unpaired electron in dx2−y2 orbital giving 2B1g as the ground state [25].
5.5 Antioxidant property
The antioxidant property of the ligand and their metal complexes were evaluated by DPPH method. Among screened complexes, the Co-TMABS, Cu-TMABS, and, Pd-TMABS showed maximum radical scavenging property with IC50 value 9.5±0.1, 13±00.2, and 10±07 μM respectively, as in Table 3.
5.6 Antimicrobial properties
Ligand (TMABS) and its metal complexes were screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties by agar well diffusion method against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus (Gram +ve), Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi (Gram -ve), and fungal strains Penicillium rubrum and Aspergillus niger. The ZI (in mm) in Tables 4 and 5 showed Hg (II) and Ru (II) complexes are better antimicrobial agents compared to others with 10–18 and 18–28 mm ZI against bacterial and fungal cells respectively. However, none of the synthesized molecules showed antimicrobial properties better than the reference streptomycin sulfate (22–28 mm ZI) and fluconazole (38–52 mm ZI).
6 Conclusions
Based on the foregoing discussion, it was concluded that the ligand TMABS acts in a neutral bidentate manner coordinating with metal ions through its azomethine nitrogen and thiophene sulfur. The Fe (III), Ru (III), and Cu (II) complexes were found octahedral, while Ni (II) and Pd (II) complexes as square planar and Co (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), and Hg (II) complexes tetrahedral in geometry. With IC50 of 9.5 ± 0.1 and 10.0 ± 0.7 μM, the Co, Cu, and Pd complexes appeared better antioxidant than the ligand TMABS (155.3±0.1 μM). The zone of inhibition (ZI) of Hg (28 mm) and Ru complexes (20 mm) were similar to the ligand TMABS (20 mm) against Aspergillus niger (MTCC-1344). None of the synthesized derivatives showed improved antimicrobial properties over streptomycin sulfate and fluconazole.
