Synthesis, characterization and high in vitro antitumour activity of novel triphenyltin carboxylates

The synthesis and spectral characterization of six novel triphenyltin compounds are described. The in vitro antitumour activity of three of these compounds against two human tumour cell lines, MCF-7, a mammary tumour, and WiDr, a colon carcinoma, was determined. All three compounds are more active than cis-platin, etoposide and doxorubicin against both tumour cell lines. They are as active as mitomycin C against WiDr, but less active against MCF-7.     

Toxicity profiles in vivo in mice and antitumour activity in tumour-bearing mice of di- and triorganotin compounds

The in vivo toxicity profiles in mice and the antitumour activity in tumour bearing mice were screened for four di-n-butyltin and five triorganotin carboxylates, di-n-butyltin diterebate (5), bis(phenylacetate) (6), bis(deoxycholate) (7), bis(lithocholate) (8), tri-n-butyltin terebate (9), cinnamate (10), and triphenyltin terebate (11).At their maximum tolerated dosis (MTD), no antitumour effect (T/C ~1) was observed for the compounds 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11. The compounds 6 (T/C = 0.51) and 8 (T/C = 0.42) showed clear antitumour activity after single dose administration and might therefore be of interest for further antitumour activity studies.

Evaluation of antibacterial properties of triorganotin carboxylates containing functionalised ester groups in tests against some pathogenic bacteria

Bacterial screening employing the agar diffusion test on triphenyltin carboxylates containing various functional residues in the ester moiety revealed appreciable differences in their activities relative to triphenyltin acetate. Among these, [3-(Diethylphosphono)propionato] triphenyltin (1) and [N-cyclohexylcarbamoyl) glycinato] triphenyltin displayed activities comparable to tri-n-butyltin cinnamate (2) towards both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; the latter compound was the most active among the eleven triorganotin compounds tested, which included cyclopentyldiphenyltin hydroxide (3) and its methacrylate derivative. Applying the more quantitative plate count and optical density tests on compounds 1-3, it was shown that their inhibitory activity ranked in the order 2 > 3 >1. Significantly, 3 caused around 90% inhibition of both Eschechia coli (-) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (-) when incubated for 24 h at 37+/-1 at the 10.0 mug/ mL concentration level. Compound 2 was less effective against P.aeruginosa than against E.coli. While the Gram-positive bacteria were all readily inhibited, Bacillus subtilis (+) appeared to the most susceptible among them towards the test compounds.     

Synthesis, In vitro Antifungal and Antitumour Activity of Some Triorganotin(IV) N,C,N-Chelates

The in vitro antifungal activity of compounds 1-3 ({[(CH3)2NCH2]2C6H3}R2SnX; (where X=Cl, R=n-Bu for 1, X=Br, R=n-Bu for 2 and x=PF6, R=n=Bu for 3)) was estimated with the help of a modified microdilution format of the M27-A guidelines and was compared with in vitro activity of their diphenyltin(IV) analogues 4 and 5 (where X=Br, R=Ph for 4 and X=PF6, R=Ph for 5), and of drugs currently in clinical use (ketoconazole, fluconazole and amphotericin B). It was found that in coordinating solvents the more soluble derivative 2 is less active than the phenyl one (4), and compounds 1 and 3 are even inactive.In this paper, the in vitro antitumour activity of ionic diphenyltin(IV) complexes 4 and 5 against seven tumoural cell lines of human origin is also reported. The preparation and characterization (H1, C13 and Sn119 NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry) of the novel compound 3 is mentioned too.     

Antitumour and Immunomodulatory Effects of Cu(II) Complexes of Thiobenzyhdrazide

Thiiobenzyhdrazide (Htbh) and its Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(Htbh)2Cl2] and [Cu(tbh)2] were synthesized and characterized by various physicochemical studies. In vivo and in vitro antitumour activity of Htbh, [Cu(Htbh)2Cl2] and [Cu(tbh)2] has been tested. LD50 values were calculated for all the three compounds. It was observed that the antitumour effect of [Cu(Htbh)2Cl2] is maximum. Light microscopic study of the treated tumour mass demonstrated that certain cellular degradation, such as disappearance of mitotic figures, loss in cellular compactness, distortion of nucleus and disruption of cytoplasmic boundaries, takes place in the tumour region of complex treated mice. Further, tumour bearing mice administered with Cu(II) complexes showed reversal of tumour growth associated induction of apoptosis in lymphocytes.     

Synthesis and structure of a novel tetranuclear 32-membered macrocycle of triphenyltin complex with pyridine-4-carboxylic acid N-oxide

The 32-membered stereoregular triphenyltin macrocycle: [Ph₃Sn (OCOC₅H₄NO)]₄·3(CH₂Cl₂) has been synthesized by the reaction of triphenyltin chloride with pyridine-4-carboxylic acid N-oxide. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR (¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectra and X-ray crystallography. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data reveal that the complex is highly symmetrical tetranuclear cyclic complex with the ligand pyridine-4-carboxylic acid N-oxide bridging the adjacent tin atoms. All four tin atoms are five-coordinated resulting in trigonal bipyramidal geometry. And the complex showed good thermal stability and high antitumor activity.

Isolation, Characterization and Antitumour Propirties of the 1,2-Popylenediaminetetraacetate trans-Diaqua-Copper (II)

A trans-diaquacomplex formed by copper(II) sulphate and the sequestering polyamminopolycarboxylic ligand 1,2-propylenediaminetetraacetic acid (PDTA) has been isolated and characterized by chemical analysis, titrimetry, FT-IR and electronic spectroscopy, Potentiometric and electronic measurements identified the ligand as tetradentate, two nitrogen and two oxygen atoms being bonded to the Cu(II) in planar positions. This octahedral monomeric soluble compound, is an unusual example of a copper (II) substance showing significant in vitro antitumour activity against the human ovarian tumour cells TG (ID(50) = 2.29 muM at 48 h) and important in vivo antitumour activity against solid Sarcoma 180 with complete regression of the tumour at a dose of 12.5 mg/Kg body weight.     

Fluorescent labelled thiourea-bridged glycodendrons

GlcNAc-coated glycodendrimers, which are polyvalent glycomimetics, display strong in vitro affinity for the rat natural killer cell protein-1A (NKR-P1A), a C-type lectin-like receptor of natural killer (NK) cells in rats, humans and some strains of mice. Administration of these compounds in vivo results in a substantial increase in the antitumour activity with involvement of the natural cell immunity. To clarify the in vitro and in vivo fate of these molecules, we synthesized labelled glycodendron analogues of the previously studied glycodendrimers. Labelling with fluorescent tags enabled the localization of the glycodendrons in white blood cells, tumours and other tissues by using different imaging techniques such as fluorescence and confocal microscopy. These studies are useful for probing the mechanism of action and fate of artificial ligands and the cell receptors involved.     

Synthesis of copolymers from 3,5-dioxo-4,10-dioxatricyclo-[5.2.02,6]dec-8-ene and vinyl monomers by photopolymerization and their biological activities

Photocopolymerizations of 3,5-dioxo-4,10-dioxatricyclo[5.2.0^2,6]dec-8-ene (DDTD) with methacrylic acid (MA) acrylamide (AAm) and vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) were carried out in 2-butanone using dimethoxy benzoin (DMB) as an initiator at 25°C. The structures of the polymers obtained from photopolymerizations of corresponding monomer pairs were confirmed to be poly(DDTD-co-MA), poly(DDTD-co-AAm) and poly(DDTD-co-VP) by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies, and the average molecular weights were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The weight average molecular weights (M_w) of the polymers were in the range 9500–17300. The polymers were soluble in water, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and dimethyl formamide (DMF). The contents of DDTD units in the copolymers were 19, 37 and 45%. The in vitro cytotoxicities of the polymers were evaluated using mouse mammary carcinoma (FM-3A), mouse leukaemia (P-388) and human histiocytic lymphoma (U-937) cell lines. The in vivo antitumour activities of the polymers were estimated by the survival time of sarcoma 180 tumour-bearing mice. The in vivo antitumour activities of the polymers were greater than those of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and monomeric DDTD at a dose of 0·8mgkg^-1. Poly(DDTD-co-AAm) and poly(DDTD-co-VP) showed higher antitumour activity than 5-FU and monomeric DDTD at all doses tested. © 1998 SCI.

Organotin polymers. VII. Copolymerization of triphenyltin methacrylate with some acrylic and methacrylic acid esters

The monomer reactivity ratios for the copolymerization of triphenyltin methacrylate with methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and butyl acrylate have been found to be r₁ = 2.58, r₂ = 0.66, r₁ = 2.37, r₂ = 0.43, and r₁ = 1.27, r_0.39 = 0.39, respectively. also, the copolymerization parameters of triphenyltin methacrylate with methyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate were as follows: r₁ = 0.94, r₂ = 0.99, and r₁ = 0.68, r₂ = 0.83, respectively. Copolymerization reactions were carried out in solution at 70°C using 1 mol % AIBN, and the copolymer compositions were determined by tin analysis. The sequence distribution of the alternating diad fractions for the systems studied were calculated at various feed compositions. The structure of the triphenyltin methacrylate monomer as well as its azeotropic copolymer with butyl methacrylate were investigated by IR spectroscopy.     

Studies on the fungicidal properties of some triphenyltin(IV) compounds

The results are reported for an investigation into the fungicidal properties of six triphenyltin(IV) compounds representing metal coordination numbers of four through six. These experiments were conducted against a number of soil and plant pathogenic fungi and compared with the results obtained from triphenyltin chloride. While all the compounds examined proved to be effective fungicides, differences at the concentration levels tested were not sufficiently pronounced to relate the degree of toxicity to the molecular structure.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Transesterification Activity of Cross-Linked Styrenic Resins Containing the Triphenyltincarboxylate Moiety Spaced by a Dimethylene from the Aromatic Ring

An organotin monomer, triphenyltin 3-(4-styryl)-propionate (TPTSPr) has been synthesized and copolymerized in different ratios with styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene in order to obtain resins with catalytic activity in transesterification reactions. The resins and a low molecular weight model compound, triphenyltin 3-(4-ethylphenyl)-propionate (TPT-C2-Pr), mimicking the catalytic co-unit, have been characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, with particular attention paid to the coordination at tin and how it correlates to the catalytic activity. The activity of both the resins and of the model compound have been tested in a transesterification model reaction between ethyl acetate and primary alcohol. All the resins show catalytic activity that decreases with increasing content of the active co-unit in the resins, owing to the interaction of the active sites among themselves.     

Metal-5-Fluorouracil-histamine complexes: solution, structural, and antitumour studies

Solution studies were performed pH-metrically to study the interaction of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) metal ions with 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and histamine (Hm) separately (binary) and in the presence of each other (ternary) at 25+/-0.1( degrees )C temperature and a constant ionic strength of 0.1 M NaNO(3) in aqueous solution. The ternary complexes have been found to be more stable than the corresponding binary complexes as shown by the positive value of DeltalogK. The species distribution curves have been obtained using the computer programme BEST. On the basis of species distribution results, efforts were also made to prepare some mixed complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions by performing the reaction of their metal nitrates, 5FU and Hm in aqueous ethanol medium at suitable pH. The isolated solid complexes were characterized by different physico-chemical method in order to suggest the possible binding site of the ligands and the structure of the resultant complexes. All these complexes were checked for their antitumour activity by injecting in Dalton's lymphoma (DL) and Sarcoma-180 (S-180) bearing C(3)H/He mice. The results indicate that some complexes have good antitumour activity both in vivo and in vitro.     

Modulating the ERK1/2–MMP1 Axis through Corosolic Acid Inhibits Metastasis of Human Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells

Corosolic acid (CA; 2α-hydroxyursolic acid) is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid with antioxidant, antitumour and antimetastatic activities against various tumour cells during tumourigenesis. However, CA’s antitumour effect and functional roles on human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells are utterly unknown. In this study, our results demonstrated that CA significantly exerted an inhibitory effect on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)1 expression, cell migration and invasion without influencing cell growth or the cell cycle of human OSCC cells. The critical role of MMP1 was confirmed using the GEPIA database and showed that patients have a high expression of MMP1 and have a shorter overall survival rate, confirmed on the Kaplan–Meier curve assay. In the synergistic inhibitory analysis, CA and siMMP1 co-treatment showed a synergically inhibitory influence on MMP1 expression and invasion of human OSCC cells. The ERK1/2 pathway plays an essential role in mediating tumour progression. We found that CA significantly inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 dose-dependently. The ERK1/2 pathway played an essential role in the CA-mediated downregulation of MMP1 expression and in invasive motility in human OSCC cells. These findings first demonstrated the inhibitory effects of CA on OSCC cells’ progression through inhibition of the ERK1/2–MMP1 axis. Therefore, CA might represent a novel strategy for treating OSCC.
