Abstract

Monensic acid is a natural polyether ionophore and is a therapeutic of first choice in veterinary medicine for the control of coccidiosis. Although known as a sodium-binding ligand, it can also form a variety of coordination species depending on experimental conditions applied. In this study, we present the crystal structures and properties of Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes of sodium monensinate (MonNa) derived from the reaction of MonNa with cobalt or manganese dinitrates. The newly obtained coordination compounds have the same composition [M(MonNa)(NO)] but the transition metal ions are placed in a different environment. The two nitrate ligands behave mono- or bidentately bound in the Co(II)- and Mn(II)-containing species, respectively, while the monensinate ligands act in a similar manner through their monodentate carboxylate functions. The formed CoO and MnO units determine the geometry of the corresponding inner coordination cores of the complexes as a tetrahedron in the case of Co(II), and as a strongly distorted octahedral structure in Mn(II) species. The effect of inorganic anions on the antibacterial performance of sodium monensinate appears to be negligible, while the presence of Co(II) or Mn(II) cations preserves or enhances the activity of unmodified MonNa, which differentially affects the growth of , , , , and strains.
