Abstract

The complexes of silver ions with furan-2-carboxylic acid (Fur-COOH) and the conjugates of polymer-stabilized silver nanoparticles with silver cations and Fur-COOH are synthesized. The silver nanoparticles are studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), while the resulting conjugates—by UV–vis spectroscopy. All the objects obtained display prominent in vitro activity against the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A synergistic effect of the silver components is revealed for the conjugates based on maleic acid-alt-N-vinylpyrrolidone containing nano- and cationic forms of silver, as well as Fur-COOH.
