Due to the so-called “antibiotic resistance crisis” new antibacterial agents are urgently sought to treat multidrug-resistant pathogens. A group of gold- or silver-based complexes, of general formula [M(PEt3)X] (with M=Au or Ag, and X=Cl, Br or I), alongside with three complexes bearing a positive or negative charge—[Au(PEt3)2]Cl, K[Au(CN)2] and [Ag(PEt3)2]NO3—were prepared and comparatively tested with auranofin on a representative panel of pathogens including Gram-positive, Gram-negative and Candida strains. Interestingly, all the gold and silver complexes tested were active on Gram-positive strains, with the gold complexes having greater efficacy. The effects of the gold compounds were potentiated to a larger extent than silver compounds when tested in combination with a permeabilizing agent. A number of relevant structure–activity relationships emerged from the comparative analysis of the observed antibacterial profiles, shedding new light on the underlying molecular mechanisms of the action of these compounds.
Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of (triethylphosphine)gold(I) complexes AuX(PEt3) (X = Cl, Br, CN, SCN), [AuL(PEt3)+] (L = SMe2, SC(NH2)2, H2O), and (μ-S)[Au(PEt3)]2

Neutral complexes of the type AuX(PEt3) (X = Br, CN, SCN) were prepared and characterized by infrared and Raman spectroscopy, with the major emphasis on the assignment of the gold-ligand vibrations and discerning the mode of bonding for the ambidentate ligands. The photosensitive cationic complexes [(Au(SMe2)(PEt3)]PF6 and {Au[SC(NH2)2](PEt3)}(Cl in addition to [Au(OH2)(PEt3)]NO3 and (μ-S)[(PEt3)Au]2 were also prepared and characterized by infrared and NMR spectroscopy. In both cases in which the ambidentate ligands SCN- and SC(NH2)2 were complexed with Au(I), the sulfur atom coordinates to the metal, providing evidence for a symbiotic relationship in these complexes.
