Diorganotin(IV) complexes of indole 3-acetic acid

Alkyl derivatives of indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) have been prepared and are suitable for investigating steric substituent effects on hormonal activity without major interference from electronic effects. Triorganotin(IV) derivatives of indole 3-acetic acid and N-methylindole 3-acetic acid have been reported to act as insecticidal, fungicidal and bactericidal agents. Me₃SnIAA is more active as a biocide than Cy₃SnIAA. The activity of these two compounds may be due to the fact that four-coordinated tin monomers or five-coordinated tin polymers are often more active than chelated five-coordinated tin species because these readily undergo hydrolysis to give R₃Sn(H₂O⁺)₂ species. The ligand affects the rate of formation of the ligand-free active organotin entity. Biocidal activity is expected from diorganotin(IV) pentacoordinated complexes of indole 3-acetic acid in the present case due to (i) the activity of pentacoordinated organotin species, (ii) the presence of an—NH moiety in the complexes, which is an active site for binding. The NH moiety may be deprotonated and nitrogen may coordinate with metal ions present in the physiological systems and thus destroy the activity of enzymes.     

Synthesis,antimicrobial activity and molecular docking of di‐ and triorganotin (IV) complexes with thiosemicarbazide derivatives

Six organotin (IV) complexes with two ligands derived from 2,3‐butanedione and thiosemicarbazide have been synthesized and fully characterized by several spectroscopic techniques, including ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. Reactions of the ligand diacetyl‐2‐(thiosemicarbazone)‐3‐(3‐hydroxy‐2‐naphthohydrazone), L¹H₂, with SnR₂Cl₂ (R = Me, Bu, Ph) lead to the obtaining of complexes 1 – 3 with general formula [SnR₂L¹] (R = Me 1 , R = Bu 2 , R = Ph 3 ), in which the ligand is doubly deprotonated and behaves as a N₂SO donor, whereas from the reactions of diacetyl‐2‐thiosemicarbazone, HATs, with the same organotin precursors any complex could be isolated. By contrast, reaction of HATs with SnR₃Cl induces the ligand cyclization to form a 1,2,4‐triazine‐3‐thione that binds to the metal as a monoanionic donor in a mono or bidentate manner to form compounds 4 – 6 with formula [SnR₃L²] (R = Me 4 , R = Bu 5 , R = Ph 6 ). The antimicrobial activity of the ligands and the six complexes was tested towards bacteria and fungi, including clinical isolated strains. The results show that the ligands are devoid of activity, except HATs that displays activity against Bacillus subtilis. Conversely, the complexes exhibit good antimicrobial properties against Gram positive and negative bacteria, yeasts and moulds. The best results are obtained for complexes [SnBu₃L²] 5 and [SnPh₃L²] 6 , indicating that their more lipophilic nature could play an important role in the ease of microbial cell penetration. In some cases, these complexes display similar or higher activity than that of ampicillin and miconazole, used as antibacterial and antifungal positive controls, respectively. Docking study with DHPS protein (S. aureus) has shown that out of six drugs, the compound 6 has the best binding affinity (?8.5 Kcal/mol).     

Bioactive versatile azomethine complexes of organotin(IV) and organosilicon(IV)

Diorganotin(IV) and diorganosilicon(IV) derivatives of the types R₂MCl(TSCZ) and R₂M(TSCZ)₂ (where TSCZ is the anion of a thiosemicarbazone ligand, R=Ph or Me and M=Sn or Si) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations and conductivity measurements. The mode of bonding has been established on the basis of IR and ¹H, ¹³C ²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopic studies. Some of the representative complexes have also been evaluated for their antimicrobial effects on different species of pathogenic fungi and bacteria in vivoas well as in vitro.The results of these investigations are reported. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Syntheses, characterizations and crystal structures of triorganotin(IV) derivatives with 2-mercapto-4-quinazolinone

The triorganotin(IV) derivatives of 2-mercapto-4-quinazolinone (HSqualone) of the type, R₃SnL (R = Ph 1, CH₃2, PhCH₂3, p-F-PhCH₂4, o-F-PhCH₂5, n-Bu 6), were obtained by the reaction of the R₃SnCl and HSqualone with 1:1 molar ratio in benzene. All complexes 1-6 were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and the crystal structures of complexes 1-3 were also confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The structure analyses reveal that the tin atoms of complexes 1-3 are all distorted tetrahedral geometries. Furthermore, the dimeric structures in complexes 1-3 have also been found linked by intermolecular O-H?N or N-H?O hydrogen bonding interaction. Interestingly, the dimers of complexes 2 and 3 are further linked into one-dimensional chain through intermolecular C-H?S and C-H?O weak hydrogen bonding interactions, respectively.     

Antimicorbial effects of newly synthesized organotin(IV) and organolead(IV) derivatives

Triorganotin(IV) and triorganolead(IV) derivatives of the types Me₃Sn(SCZ) and Ph₃Pb(SCZ) (where SCZ^? is the anion of a semicarbanzone ligand) have been synthesized by substitution reactions of trimethyltin chloride and triphenyl-lead chloride with semicarbazones derived from heterocyclic ketones. The resulting complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecualr weight determinations and conductivity measurements. The mode of bonding has been established on the basis of infrared and ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopic studies. Some respresentative complexes have also been evaluated for their antimicrobial effects on different species of pathogenic fungi and bacteria; the results of these investigations have been reported in the present paper.     

Synthesis of Macrocyclic Compounds Using Diorganotin(IV) Dicarboxylates as Covalent Templates

A series of new macrocyclic compounds have been prepared by treating di- n -butyltin(IV) dicarboxylates of diphenic acid (biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid), thiodiacetic acid and maleic anhydride with succinyl, adipoyl and sebacoyl dichlorides. The compounds have been characterized with the help of elemental analyses and spectral data (mass, IR, ^IH and ¹³C NMR).     

Diorganotin(IV) derivatives of substituted benzohydroxamic acids with high antitumor activity

A series of diorganotin(IV) and dichlorotin(IV) derivatives of 4-X-benzohydroxamic acids, [HL(1) (X = Cl) or HL(2) (X = OCH(3))] formulated as [R(2)SnL(2)] (R = Me, Et, nBu, Ph or Cl; L = L(1) or L(2)), along with their corresponding mixed-ligand complexes [R(2)Sn(L(1))(L(2))] have been prepared and characterized by FT-IR, (1)H, (13)C, and (119)Sn NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and melting points. In addition, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out for [Me(2)SnL(2)] (L = L(1) or L(2)), which show coordination structures intermediate between distorted octahedra and bicapped tetrahedra. The hydroxamate ligands are asymmetrically coordinated by the oxygen atoms, the carbonyl oxygen atom is further away from the metal center than the other oxygen atom. The complexes are stable monomeric species; most of them are soluble not only in chlorohydrocarbon solvents, but also in alcohols and hydroalcoholic solutions. In polar solvents, the mixed-ligand complexes gradually decompose into the corresponding single-ligand complex couples. The complexes exhibit in vitro antitumor activities (against a series of human tumor cell lines) which, in some cases, are identical to, or even higher than, that of cisplatin. For the dialkyltin complexes, the activity increases with the length of the carbon chain of the alkyl ligand and is higher in the case of the chloro-substituted benzohydroxamato ligand. The [nBu(2)Sn(L(1))(2)] complex displays a high in vivo activity against H22 liver and BGC-823 gastric tumors, and has a relatively low toxicity.     

Synthesis and structural elucidation of bioactive triorganotin(IV) derivatives of sodium deoxycholate

Trimethyl (1), tributyl (2), and triphenyl tin (3) derivatives of sodium (R)-4-((3R,5R,8R,9S,10S,12S,13R,14S,17R)-3,12-dihydroxy-10,13-dimethyl-hexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)pentanoate (sodium deoxycholate) were synthesized by refluxing sodium deoxycholate with the corresponding triorganotin(IV) chloride in 1?:?1?M ratio. All the three compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and X-ray diffraction studies. From FT-IR spectra, Δν values proposed bridging or chelating behavior of the ligand. The three compounds gave a trigonal bipyramidal geometry in the solid state and tetrahedral geometry in solution. Single crystal of 1 showed polymeric trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Synthesized compounds obtained were screened for their antimicrobial and antitumor activities against A2780 cell line. Results revealed that only 2 showed significant antibacterial activity. However, all the three compounds exhibited promising antifungal and anticancer activities.

The set of six bis(triorganotin(IV)) esters of 4-ketopimelic acid was prepared. Their structures were studied using IR, NMR and X-ray crystallographic (cyclohexyl and ethyl derivatives) techniques both in solution and the solid state. Five of these compounds are polymeric in the solid state and depolymerise upon dissolving in non-coordinating and/or addition of coordinating solvent to monomeric species with four-coordinated tin atom or complexes with donor solvent with five-coordinated tin central atom. The tricyclohexyltin derivative is dimeric in the solid state and monomeric in solution.

Synthesis and characterization of tin(IV)/organotin(IV) complexes with 2-benzoylpyridine-N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone [HBPCT]: X-ray crystal structure of [SnCl3(BPCT)]

Four new tin(IV)/organotin(IV) complexes, [SnCl₃(BPCT)] (2), [MeSnCl₂(BPCT)] (3), [Me₂SnCl(BPCT)] (4), and [Ph₂SnCl(BPCT)] (5), have been synthesized by the direct reaction of 2-benzoylpyridine-N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone [HBPCT, (1)] and stannic chloride/organotin(IV) chloride(s) in absolute methanol under purified nitrogen. HBPCT and its tin(IV)/organotin(IV) complexes (2–5) were characterized by CHN analyses, molar conductivity, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and ¹H NMR spectral studies. In all the complexes, tin(IV) was coordinated via pyridine-N, azomethine-N, and thiolato-S from 1. The molecular structure of 2 has been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. Complex 2 is a monomer and the central tin(IV) is six-coordinate in a distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal system of 2 is monoclinic with space group P121/n1 and the unit cell dimensions are a?=?8.3564(3)?Å, b?=?23.1321(8)?Å, c?=?11.9984(4)?Å.     

Diorganotin(IV) complexes with furan-2-carbohydrazone derivatives: synthesis,characterization, crystal structure and antibacterial activity

Four new diorganotin(IV) complexes, R₂SnL (L?=?L^a: R?=?Me 1, Ph 2; L?=?L^b: R?=?Me 3, and Ph 4), have been synthesized by reaction of hydrazone ONO donors, 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde furan-2-carbohydrazone (H₂L^a) and 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde furan-2-carbohydrazone (H₂L^b) with diorganotin(IV) dichloride in the presence of a base. The compounds have been investigated by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopies. Spectroscopic studies show that the hydrazone is a tridentate dianionic ligand, coordinating via the imine nitrogen and phenolic and enolic oxygens. The structures of H₂L^b and 3 have also been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The results show that the structure of 3 is a distorted square pyramid with imine nitrogen in apical position. The in vitro antibacterial activities of ligands and complexes have been evaluated against gram-positive (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. H₂L^a and H₂L^b show no activity but the diphenyltin(IV) complexes exhibit good activities towards two bacterial strains in comparison with standard bacterial drugs.

Self-assembly of ionic triorganotin(IV) complexes of tetrafluorophthalic acid with a tetranuclear macrocyclic or polymeric structure: syntheses,characterization and crystal structures

Four triorganotin(IV) complexes constructed from tetrafluorophthalic acid (H₂tfp) with a 1?:?1?:?1 molar ratio of H₂tfp: Et₃N: R₃SnCl gave two of type {[R₃Sn (tfp)].Et₃NH}₄ (R?=?Me 1, R?=?n-Bu 2), and two of type [R₃Sn (tfp).Et₃NH] _n (R?=?PhCH₂ 3, Ph 4). All the complexes are characterized by elemental, IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR analyses. Complexes 1 and 4 were also confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 is tetranuclear with a 28-membered C₁₆O₈Sn₄ macrocyclic ring system with a cavity. The supramolecular structure of 1 has been found to consist of a three-dimensional network built up by intermolecular N–H?···?O, C–H?···?O hydrogen bonds and C–F?···?F weak interactions. Complex 4 is an infinite polymeric structure. The salient feature of the supramolecular structure of 4 is that of a two-dimensional plane, in which intermolecular N–H?···?O and C–H?···?π hydrogen bonds are important.

New di‐ and triorganotin(IV) carboxylates derived from a Schiff base: synthesis,characterization and in vitro antimicrobial activities

A new carboxylic acid, 2‐{[5‐(2‐nitrophenyl)furan‐2‐yl]methyleneamino}benzoic acid (HOBZ), has been produced by reacting 5‐(2‐nitrophenyl)furfural with 2‐aminobenzoic acid. Reactions of NaOBZ with organotin chlorides led to formation of [Me₃Sn(OBZ)] ( 1 ), [Bu₃Sn(OBZ)] ( 2 ), [Me₂Sn(OBZ)₂] ( 3 ) and [Bu₂Sn(OBZ)₂] ( 4 ). Complexes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 have been characterized using elemental analyses and infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopies. In the solid state, the OBZ ligands might coordinate to tin in an anisobidentate fashion via the carboxylate group. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of all compounds has been screened against the following fungi: Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, A. parasiticus, Penicillium citrinum, Candida dubliniensis, C. lusitaniae, C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis and C. glabrata; and against the following bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus sanguinis, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter frendii, Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Complexes 2 and 4 exhibited higher biocide activity in comparison to 1 and 3 and to the control drugs nystatin and miconazole nitrate for the yeasts, and chloramphenicol and ampicillin for the bacteria. The biological activity of 2 was superior to that of 4 . In addition, the toxicity of HOBZ, NaOBz and 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 were determined using Chlorella vulgaris, revealing low toxicity of the complexes at MIC₅₀ concentrations. We also performed cell viability studies, using XTT assay, displaying no change in the mitochondrial function after 2–4 h of exposure of the microorganism to the complexes at MIC₅₀ concentrations. The butyl‐containing complexes 2 and 4 display greater lipophilicities than do the methyl analogues 1 and 3 , thereby endowing 2 and 4 with superior abilities to cross the microbe cell membrane, the possible mechanism of action.

Organosilicon(IV) and organotin(IV) complexes as biocides and nematicides: synthetic,spectroscopic and biological studies of N∩N donor sulfonamide imine and its chelates

A brief account is given of the synthesis and stereochemistry and the antibacterial, antifungal, nematicidal and insecticidal behaviour of organosilicon(IV) and organotin(IV) complexes of a biologically potent ligand, 2‐acetylfuransulfaguanidine. The unimolar and bimolar substitution products have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductance measurements, molecular weight determinations, and spectral studies, viz. IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV, ²⁹Si NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra. The data support the binding of the nitrogen atom to the metal atom in R₃M(N^∩N), [R₂M(N^∩N)₂ and R₂M(N^∩N)Cl [(R = Me/Ph and M = Si(IV) and Sn(IV)] types of complex. Based on these studies, with coordination number five and six a trigonal bipyramidal and an octahedral geometry have been proposed for the resulting derivatives. The free ligand (N^∩NH) and its respective metal complexes were tested in vitro against a number of microorganisms to assess their antimicrobial properties. The results are indeed positive. In addition to these studies, the complexes also show good nematicidal and insecticidal properties. The results of these findings have been discussed in detail.
