RESUMEN

Metal-based drugs, such as 1,10-phenanthroline, have demonstrated anticancer, antifungal and antiplasmodium activities. One of the 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives compounds (1)-N-2-methoxybenzyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromide (FEN), which has been demonstrated an inhibitory effect on the growth of Candida spp. This study aimed to explore the in vitro antifungal activity of FEN and its effect on the membrane integrity of Candida albicans. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of FEN against planktonic C. albicans cells were determined using the broth microdilution method according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. Cell membrane integrity was determined with the propidium iodide assay using a flow cytometer and were visualized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Planktonic cells growth of C. albicans were inhibited by FEN, with an MIC of 0.39–1.56 µg/mL and a MFC that ranged from 3.125 to 100 µg/mL. When C. albicans was exposed to FEN, the uptake of propidium iodide was increased, which indicated that membrane disruption is the probable mode of action of this compound. There was cells surface changes of C. albicans when observed under SEM.

RESUMEN

A previous study showed that the 1,10-phenanthroline skeleton was active in vitro against chloroquine-resistant and sensitive strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Based on this skeleton, 8 derivatives of N-alkyl and N-benzyl-1,10-phenanthrolines have been synthesized. This study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of these compounds. The in vitro antiplasmodial activity was tested on two strains of P. falciparum, FCR-3 chloroquine-resistant and D10 chloroquine-sensitive strains, while their cytotoxicity was tested on the Vero cell line. The parasite and cell growth were estimated by hypoxantine-[2,8-3H] uptake after 24- and 72-hour incubation with each compound tested. The control parasite or cell free from any compounds was referred to as having 100% growth. For this radioactive method, the IC50 value showing concentration inhibiting 50% of the parasite growth was determined by probit analysis. The results showed that the highest antiplasmodial activity was observed with (1)-N-benzyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium iodide with the IC50 0.18-0.45 microM, and the IC50 of the compound on Vero cells ranged from 2,582.30 to 7,057.71 microM. The cytotoxic/ antiplasmodial ratio indicates that this compound has high selectivity (10,993 +/- 330.79-38,965 +/- 6,888.27).
