    The synthesis and characterization of four di- and tri-n-butyltin cysteaminates and N,N-dimethylcysteaminates and three protonated / quaternized derivatives are reported. They all exhibit moderate or high in vitro cytotoxic activity. Six of seven compounds presented in this work are more active than cisplatin, etoposide and 5-fluorouracil, but less active than methotrexate and doxorubicin.Journal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    Synthesis, characterization and in vitro cytotoxicity of palladium(II) complexes with mixed ligands: X-ray diffraction study of C31H36ClNPPdS2

    Pd(II) complexes with organophosphines and dithiocarbamates derivatives of α-amino acids were synthesized by reacting N,N-dicyclohexyldithiocarbamate (DCHDTC, compounds 1–3) and N-methylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate (MCHDTC, compounds 4–6) with (R3P)2PdCl2 (R = Ph, o-tolyl, Ph2Cl) in a 1:1 molar ratio. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, multinuclear (1H, 13C and 31P) NMR and single X-ray crystallography, showing that the dithiocarbamate acts as a bidentate ligand and binds to Pd(II) via two sulfur atoms, resulting in a square planar geometry around Pd(II). The cytotoxicity of compounds 2, 3 and 4 was determined in vitro against six human tumour cell lines, MCF7, EVSA-T, WIDR, IGROV, M19 MEL, A498 and H226. Compounds 3 and 4 showed a moderate to low cytotoxicity, whereas compound 2 exhibited a very low cytotoxicity. The results of antifungal assays showed that compounds 1–6 possess antifungal activity against Fusarium moniliformes, Fusarium saolani, Mucor sp. Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus. The anti-inflammatory screening results of 1–6 are quite similar to those observed for the standard drug Declofenac at 10 mg kg−1, which inhibited the odema by 74% after 4 h.

    The synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and in vitro antitumour activity of two triorganotin compounds, triphenyltin ortho-aminophenylthiolate (1) and triphenyltin 2-pyridylthiolate, compound (2) are reported. The structure of 1 is confirmed by X-ray diffraction, with the tin atom in a distorted tetrahedral geometry because of monodentate coordination, as a thiolate (Sn-S 2.431(2) A), of the ortho-aminophenylthiolate ligand. The in vitro antitumour activities of 1 and 2, against a number of cell lines, are comparable to those exhibited by methotrexate and doxorubicin, and higher than those of carboplatin and cisplatin.Journal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
