Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities and bovine serum albumin binding properties of benzimidazolium derivative NHC salts and their Ag(I)‐NHC complexes
Benzimidazole type N‐heterocyclic carbene molecules and their metal complexes have well‐known biological activity. Elemental silver and silver complexes also have antibacterial and antifungal activity. In this study, silver complexes with 1‐allyl 5,6‐dimethylbenzimidazolium derivative ligands were a...

Summary: | Benzimidazole type N‐heterocyclic carbene molecules and their metal complexes have well‐known biological activity. Elemental silver and silver complexes also have antibacterial and antifungal activity. In this study, silver complexes with 1‐allyl 5,6‐dimethylbenzimidazolium derivative ligands were analyzed for their antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities. Additionally, bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding properties of the molecules were analyzed by spectrophotometric methods, and the details of interactions of the molecules with BSA were investigated by molecular docking methods. While N‐heterocyclic carbene salts showed moderate antifungal and antibiofilm activity, silver complexes of these salts have strong antimicrobial activity with |
