Complex of Ca(II) with Ceftriaxone: Synthesis, Structure, Spectral and Antibacterial Properties

Abstract

The calcium complex of ceftriaxone was synthesized and characterized by elemental, atomic-emission analysis, TGA, IR spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The luminescence and antibacterial properties of the ceftriaxone disodium and calcium complex were investigated. Ca(II) complex was obtained in a crystalline form, cell parameters of the compound were determined. Ceftriaxone was coordinated to the calcium ion by the oxygen of the triazine cycle in the 6th position, the nitrogen of the amine group of the thiazole ring, and the oxygens of the lactam carbonyl and carboxylate groups. The complex of Ca(II) with ceftriaxone was screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the results were compared with the activity of ceftriaxone disodium salt
