Sorbate metal complexes as newer antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anticancer compounds.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ineffectiveness of treatments for infections caused by biofilm-producing pathogens and human carcinoma presents considerable challenges for global public health organizations. To tackle this issue, our study focused on exploring the potential of synthesizing new complexes of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) with sorbic acid to enhance its antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anticancer properties.

Methods

Four novel complexes were synthesized as solid phases by reacting sorbic acid with Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II). These complexes were characterized by various technique, including infrared spectra, UV-Visible spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and thermal analysis techniques, including thermogravimetry (TG).
