Abstract
Six new organotin(IV) complexes, [R3Sn(C10H6NO2)(H2O)] (R = Me 1, R = Et 2, R = n-Bu 3, R = Ph 4), [(Me2Sn)4(µ3O)2(C10H6NO2)4] (5), [(n-Bu2Sn)4(µ3O)2(C10H6NO2)4] (6) were synthesized through the reaction of R3SnCl (R = Me and Et), (R3Sn)2O (R = n-Bu and Ph) or R2SnO (R = Me and n-Bu) with 6-quinoline carboxylic acid, and characterized via elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR (1H, 13C and 119Sn) and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural analyses revealed that the centric Sn atoms display five-coordinated distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry for complexes 1–4. Complex 5 and 6 exhibited tetranuclear tin ladder-like geometry. The in vitro cytostatic activities of complexes 1–4 were assessed against HepG-2, A549 and HeLa cell lines by MTT method. The results indicated that tributyltin derivative 3 and triphenyltin derivative 4 exhibited better potent cytostatic efficacy than triethyltin derivative 2. Moreover, the preliminary anticancer mechanism for tributyltin derivative 3 against HeLa cell lines was investigated. The experimental results revealed that complex 3 may trigger mitochondrial depolarization and generate excessive ROS, and then induce HeLa cell apoptosis. In addition, antifungal tests were conducted to assess the inhibitory effects of complexes 1–4 against three plant pathogenic fungi, which showed that complex 4 exhibited significant antifungal effects on Physalospora piricola. Furthermore, toxicity was evaluated using Pro Tox-II. And then, the ADME parameters, pharmacokinetic properties, and drug-likeness properties of the synthesized complexes were predicted by the Swiss ADME simulator.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
