description This article describes the synthesis of curcumin complexes with metal ions. Properties of these complexes such as spectra IR and UV-Vis and solubility were investigated. The optimum parameters of ultrasound to enhance the solubility was figured out as follows: the capacity of ultrasound: 750 W/g; the time of ultrasound: 7 min; the concentration of the surfactant Tween 80 : 2%. The maximum solubility (mg/ml) of complexes was as follows: Cur-Fe(III): 0.162 ± 0.01; Cur-Zn(II): 0.267 ± 0.02; and Cur-Ca(II): 0.417 ± 0.05. Antioxidant capacity (DPPH, %I) of curcumin complexes was higher than that of curcumin-free complexes. All of these curcumin complexes revealed antimicrobial activities, in which calcium complex had the best resistance against Salmonella, followed by Fe(III) complexes. Meanwhile, the zinc complex was not resistant to this bacterium. These complexes showed antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus, in which Cur-Ca (II) complexes had the highest antibacterial activity. For Escherichia coli, the Cur-Zn (II) complex had no resistance, while the Cur-Ca (II) complex showed the highest antibacterial activity.
