Redox-active metal complexes of sterically hindered phenolic ligands: Antibacterial activity and reduction of cytochrome c. Part IV. Silver(I) complexes with hydrazone and thiosemicarbazone derivatives of 4,6-di-tert-butyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde

A complex with a high reducing ability (determined electrochemically) is characterized by the lowest MIC for 9 bacterial and 14 fungal strains and the highest rate of Cyt с reduction among the compounds under study. MICs of the Ag(I) complex are lower than MICs of silver nitrate or sulfadiazine.
