Abstract
Cyclometallated iridium(III) and organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes have shown potential application value in the field of anticancer. However, the widespread aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of these complexes is not conducive to the exploration of their targeting and anticancer mechanism, and the idea of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect can effectively solve this problem. Then, AIE-activated cyclometallated iridium(III)-tributyltin(IV) carboxylate Schiff base complexes were designed and prepared in this study. Complexes exhibited AIE effect in highly concentrated solution or aggregative state, which facilitated the investigation of subcellular tissue targeting (mitochondria) and cell morphology. Compared with cyclometallated iridium(III) complex and tributyltin(IV) carboxylate monomers, these complexes showed the better in-vitro anti-proliferative activity toward A549 cells, confirming the favorable synergistic anticancer activity. Even for A549/DDP (cisplatin-resistance) cells, these complexes also exhibited the better activity. In addition, complexes showed a mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Therefore, cyclometallated iridium(III)-tributyltin(IV) carboxylate Schiff base complexes can be used as the potential substitutes for platinum-based drugs and gain further application.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry is an established international forum for research in all aspects of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of a high scientific level are published in the form of Articles (full length papers), Short Communications, Focused Reviews and Bioinorganic Methods. Topics include: the chemistry, structure and function of metalloenzymes; the interaction of inorganic ions and molecules with proteins and nucleic acids; the synthesis and properties of coordination complexes of biological interest including both structural and functional model systems; the function of metal- containing systems in the regulation of gene expression; the role of metals in medicine; the application of spectroscopic methods to determine the structure of metallobiomolecules; the preparation and characterization of metal-based biomaterials; and related systems. The emphasis of the Journal is on the structure and mechanism of action of metallobiomolecules.
