Ru(II) Oxygen Sensors for Co(III) Complexes and Amphotericin B Antifungal Activity Detection by Phosphorescence Optical Respirometry.

ABSTRACT: The measurement of oxygen consumption is an important element in the understanding of an organism's metabolic state. Oxygen is also a phosphorescence quencher, which allows the evaluation of phosphorescence emitted by oxygen sensors. Two Ru(II)-based oxygen-sensitive sensors were used to study the effect of chemical compounds [(1) = [CoCl₂(dap)₂]Cl, and (2) = [CoCl₂(en)₂]Cl (AmB = amphotericin B) against reference and clinical strains of Candida albicans. The tris-[(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II)] chloride ([Ru(DPP)₃]Cl₂) (Box) adsorbed onto the Davisil^TM silica gel was embedded in the silicone rubber Lactite NuvaSil^® 5091 and the coating on the bottom of 96-w
