Özet
A series of nine polypyridyl-ruthenium (II) complexes (N-ligands=2,2'-bipyridines; 2,2'-6',2'-terpyridines, di-alkyloxy-2,2'-6,2-bipyridine-3,3'-di-carboxylates), were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT). The complex (11) showed remarkable activity against MBT as compared to other complexes, (1-10). The aquo ligand of complex (11), as opposed to other chloro and acetonitrile derivatives, appears to play a key role in the antitubercular potency of this new class of metal-based compounds.
