Organotellurium derivatives of dicarboxylic acids

The freshly prepared sodium salts of ortho-phthalic acid and tetrabromo ortho-phthalic acid react with diaryltellurium dichlorides in chloroform to afford new dimeric organotellurium carboxylates, R₂Te(C₈X₄O₄)₂ (X = H, Br). The new compounds contain fourteen membered rings and the detailed structure is discussed particularly in the light of the ¹H NMR spectrum of (p-EtOC₆H₄)₂Te(C₈H₄O₄)₂ which shows inequivalence of p-ethoxy groups. The sebacate derivatives of tellurium(IV) are oligomeric and iso- and terephthalic acids failed to give well defined products.     

Synthesis,Structure–Activity Relationship of Some New Triorganotin(IV) Derivatives of Dipeptides as Anti-Inflammatory Agents

Abstract

New triorganotin(IV) derivatives of dipeptides with general formulae, R₃Sn(HL), where R = Me and Ph, and HL is the monoanion of histidinylalanine and histidinylleucine, have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of infrared (IR), multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn), and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies. These derivatives exhibit distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry around tin in which dipeptide anion acts as bidentate ligand coordinating through carboxyl oxygen and amino nitrogen. Ph₃Sn(HHis-Ala),

Ph₃Sn(HHis-Leu), and previously reported Ph₂Sn(His-Ala), Me₂Sn(His-Ala), n-Oct₂Sn(His-Ala), Me₂Sn(His-Leu), n-Oct₂Sn(His-Leu), Ph₃Sn(HTyr-Phe), Ph₂Sn(Tyr-Phe), Bu₂Sn-(Tyr-Phe), and n-Oct₂Sn(Tyr-Phe) along with standard drugs, viz. phenyl butazone and indomethacin were screened for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and acute toxicity (LD₅₀). Diorganotin(IV) derivatives are more active than triorganotin(IV) derivatives. Me₂Sn(His-Leu) shows the highest activity.

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of oxovanadium(IV) and dichlorovanadium(IV) complexes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p-</Emphasis>X-phenyl-2-picolylketones

A new series of oxovanadium(IV) complexes formulated as [(HL)₂VO]_n·nSO₄ (a), [(HL)VO(SO₄)]₂ (b), and [L₂VO] (c), where HL=phenyl-2-picolylketone and its para-substituted derivatives have been synthesized and characterized. The i.r. data suggest that the ligands are neutral bidentate in classes (a) and (b) and uninegative bidentate in (c), coordinated to the vanadyl ion via the pyridine-N and keto- or enolato-O atoms. Complexes of class (a) showed mechanochromism upon grinding. Magnetic, u.v./vis. and e.s.r. data suggest that all the complexes have a square pyramidal structure with an unpaired electron in the d_xy orbital in the solid and in solutions. Deoxygenation of the oxovanadium complexes gave the corresponding dichlorovanadium(IV) derivatives. Elemental analysis, magnetic and spectral studies indicated that the dichlorovanadium(IV) complexes are associated with a distorted trans-octahedral ligand field.     

Di- and Tri-organotin(IV) Complexes of N-Acetyltriglycine and N-Benzoyltriglycine: Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization

Di- and tri-organotin(IV) derivatives of N -acetyltriglycine and N -benzoyltriglycine (HA) were obtained by refluxing equimolar mixtures of the ligand and the organotin(IV) oxide or hydroxide in methanol or acetone. According to the spectroscopic data, triorganotin(IV) derivatives adopt a trigonal-bipyramidal structure in which the planar R₃Sn^IV unit is bonded by a monodentate carboxylate group and a donor group, presumably the amide CO. The reaction of HA with the appropriate diorganotin(IV) compounds gave both dicarboxylates R₂SnA₂, with six-coordinated tin, and dimeric tetraorganodistannoxanes {[R₂SnA]₂O}₂, in which the tin atoms are essentially five-coordinated.     

Zirconium(IV) Thorium(IV) and Dioxouranium(VI) Complexes of Salicylidene o-Aminobenzothiol

Salicylidene-o-aminobenzothiol and its 5-chloro and 5-bromo derivatives, dibasic tridentate Schiff bases, dervied from the condensation of o-aminothiol and Salicylaldehyde, 5-chloro salicylaldehyde and 5-bromo salicylaldehyde, were used for coordination with Zr(IV), Th(IV) and UO₂(VI) metal inos. The I:I (metal-ligand) stoichiometry of these complexes is shown by elemental analysis and conductometric titrations. Molecular structure of these complexes are proved by Infra-red spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of Zr(IV), Th(IV) and UO₂(VI) complexes show their diamagnetic and octahedral geometry. Results show that all the complexes have solvent molecules in coordination with metal ion.     

Insertion of an Oxygen Atom between Tellurium Atoms upon Oxidation of a Diaryl Telluride with NOBF4 or (CF3SO2)2O/O2: Dicationic Bis[diaryltellurium(IV)] Oxide

NO and O ₂ molecules are the source of the oxygen atom for dicationic µ-oxo(diaryltellurium) dimers 2 (X=BF₄⁻, CF₃SO₃⁻), which form upon chemical oxidation of 1 with NOBF₄ (method A) or (CF₃SO₂)₂O/O₂ [method B, Eq. (a)]. The fate of the nitrogen atom of the oxidizing agent NOBF₄ remains uncertain at this stage.     

Structural Studies on Dimethyltin(IV) Carboxylates

In order to correlate ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer parameters and structural data for dimethyltin(IV) derivatives, the molecular structures of bis(acetato)dimethyltin(IV) and bis(trifluoroacetato)dimethyltin(IV) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffration. Crystals of Me₂Sn(OOCCH₃)₂ are monoclinic, a = 26.282(4), b = 5.282(1), c = 14.434(3) Å, β = 101.17(2)°, Z = 8, space group C2/c, and those of [Me₂Sn(OOCCF₃)₂]_n are monoclinic, a = 8.444(1), b = 17.689(1), c = 15.368(1) Å, β = 93.013(9)°, Z = 8, space group Cc. The structures were solved by the Patterson method and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.025 and 0.027 (R_w = 0.023 and 0.030) for 2 298 and 4 182 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F²), respectively.     

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of organotin(IV) complexes of 2,3-methylenedioxyphenylpropenoic acid

The synthesis, spectroscopy, and antitumor behavior of organotin(IV) complexes of 2,3-methylenedioxyphenylpropenoic acid are described. The spectroscopic data indicate 1 : 2 and 1 : 1 metal to ligand stoichiometry in case of di- and trioganotin(IV) compounds and hypervalency of Sn(IV) in trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral modes. Mass spectrometric and elemental analysis data support the solid and solution spectroscopic results. The complexes have been evaluated in vitro against crown gall tumor and bio-activity screenings showed in vitro biological potential. The nature of covalent attachments (methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, phenyl, and n-octyl) of Sn(IV) played a decisive role for bioactivity. All the compounds have been studied in solution by NMR (¹H, ¹³C) and also in solid state using FTIR, mass spectrometry, and by X-ray crystallography. The molecular structure of Et₂Sn(IV) and Me₃Sn(IV) derivatives confirm the behavior of di- and tri-organotin(IV) compounds in solid state. Mono-organotin derivatives are octahedral both in solid and solution.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization,and biological activity studies of organotin(IV) derivatives of (E)‐3‐(3‐fluorophenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐2‐propenoic acid. Crystal and molecular structure of Et2Sn[OCOC(C6H5)CH(3‐FC6H4)]

The complexes Me₂SnL₂ ( I ), Me₃SnL ( II ), Et₂SnL₂ ( III ), n‐Bu₂SnL₂ ( IV ), n‐Bu₃SnL ( V ), n‐Oct₂SnL₂ ( VI ), Bz₂SnL₂ ( VII ), and Ph₃SnL ( VIII ), where “L” is ( E )‐3‐(3‐fluorophenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐2‐propenoate, have been prepared and structurally characterized by means of elemental analysis, infrared, mass, and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR spectral techniques. The spectroscopic results showed that the geometry around the Sn atom in triorganotin(IV) derivatives is four‐coordinated in noncoordinating solvent and behaves as five‐coordinated linear polymers with bridging carboxylate groups or five‐coordinated monomers, both acquiring trans‐R₃SnO₂ geometry for Sn in the solid state. While all the diorganotin(IV) derivatives may acquire trigonal bipyramidal structures in solution due to collapse of the Sn←OCO interaction and octahedral geometries in the solid state, which have been confirmed by the X‐ray crystallographic data of the compound III . The crystal structure of Et₂SnL₂ ( III ) has been determined by X‐ray crystallography and is found skew‐trapezoidal bipyramidal, which substantiates that the ligand acts as an anisobidentate chelating agent, thus rendering the Sn atom six coordinated. The crystal is monoclinic with space group C2₁/n. All the investigated compounds have also been screened for biocidal and cytotoxicity data. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Antibacterial Activities of Organotin(IV) Complexes with 2‐Acetylpyridine‐N(4)‐cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone (HAPCT)

The reaction of 2‐acetylpyridine‐N(4)‐cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone [(HAPCT), ( 1 )] ligand with organotin(IV) chloride(s) afforded the five new organotin(IV) complexes: [MeSnCl₂(APCT)] ( 2 ), [BuSnCl₂(APCT)] ( 3 ), [PhSnCl₂(APCT)] ( 4 ), [Me₂SnCl(APCT)] ( 5 ), and [Ph₂SnCl(APCT)] ( 6 ). The ligand ( 1 ) and its organotin(IV) complexes ( 2–6 ) have been synthesized and characterized by CHN analyses, molar conductivity, UV–vis, FT IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectral studies. The single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies indicated that [PhSnCl₂(APCT)] ( 4 ) is six coordinated and strongly adopts a distorted octahedral configuration with the coordination through pyridine‐N, azomethine‐N, and thiolato‐S atoms of the ligand. The compound crystallizes into a monoclinic lattice with the space group P21/n. The ligand ( 1 ) and its organotin(IV) complexes ( 2–6 ) were assayed for in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Salmonella typhi. The screening results have shown that the organotin(IV) complexes ( 2–6 ) have better antibacterial activity than the free ligand. Furthermore, it has been shown that the diphenyltin(IV) derivative ( 6 ) exhibits significantly better activities than the other organotin(IV) derivatives ( 2–5 ). © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Substituent position effect on the crystal structures of N‐phenyl‐2‐phthalimidoethanesulfonamide derivatives

In order to determine the impact of different substituents and their positions on intermolecular interactions and ultimately on the crystal packing, unsubstituted N‐phenyl‐2‐phthalimidoethanesulfonamide, C₁₆H₁₄N₂O₄S, (I), and the N‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐, C₁₆H₁₃N₃O₆S, (II), N‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐, C₁₆H₁₆N₃O₆S, (III), and N‐(2‐ethylphenyl)‐, as the monohydrate, C₁₈H₁₈N₂O₄S·H₂O, (IV), derivatives have been characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. Sulfonamides (I) and (II) have triclinic crystal systems, while (III) and (IV) are monoclinic. Although the molecules differ from each other only with respect to small substituents and their positions, they crystallized in different space groups as a result of differing intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen‐bond interactions. The structures of (I), (II) and (III) are stabilized by intermolecular N—H…O and C—H…O hydrogen bonds, while that of (IV) is stabilized by intermolecular O—H…O and C—H…O hydrogen bonds. All four structures are of interest with respect to their biological activities and have been studied as part of a program to develop anticonvulsant drugs for the treatment of epilepsy.     

Organotin(IV) complexes of NSAID,ibuprofen, X-ray structure of Ph3Sn(IBF), binding and cleavage interaction with DNA and in vitro cytotoxic studies of several organotin complexes of drugs

This study encompasses the synthesis and characterization of organotin(IV) derivatives of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (IBF), viz. [(Me₃Sn)(IBF)] ( 1 ), [(Bu₃Sn)(IBF)] ( 2 ), [Ph₃Sn(IBF)] ( 3 ), {[Me₂Sn(IBF)]₂O}₂ ( 4 ) and [Bu₂Sn(IBF)₂] ( 5 ). The crystal structure of complex 3 , [Ph₃Sn(IBF)], indicates a highly distorted tetrahedral (td) geometry with anisobidentate mode of coordination of the carboxylate group with tin atom, and a similar structure has been proposed for other two triorganotin(IV) derivatives. Moreover, the DFT (density functional theory) calculation and other studies have verified a dimer distannoxane type of structure for complex 4 , {[Me₂Sn(IBF)]₂O}₂. Complex 5 has been found to exhibit a highly distorted octahedral geometry around the tin atom. To investigate the DNA binding profile of the synthesized complexes, viscosity measurement, UV–vis and fluorescence titrations were performed, which revealed an intercalative type of binding with DNA for IBF and complex 5 and external binding in case of the complexes 1 and 2 ; complexes 3 and 4 could not be studied owing to their insufficient solubility in tris buffer. Plasmid DNA fragmentation studies of IBF and complexes 1 , 2 and 5 indicate that they cleaved the pBR322 plasmid potentially. Further, the drugs IBF {2-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]propanoic acid}, MESNA (sodium 2-mercaptoethane-sulfonate), warfarin [2H-1-benzopyran-2-one,4-hydroxy-3-(3-oxo-1-phenylbutyl)], sulindac (2-{5-fluoro-1-[(4-methanesulfinylphenyl) methylidene]-2-methyl-1H-inden-3-yl}acetic acid) and their corresponding organotin(IV) complexes 1–19 (complexes 6–19 were synthesized/reported previously) were screened in vitro for cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines viz. DU145 (prostate cancer), HCT-15 (colon adenocarcinoma), Caco-2 (colorectal adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (mammary cancer), LNCaP (androgen-sensitive prostate adenocarcinoma) and HeLa (cervical cancer), through MTT reduction assay and the cause of cell death was investigated through acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining of cells and DNA fragmentation assay. The probable structure–cytotoxicity relationship is also discussed. The major role of apoptosis along with small necrosis was also validated by flow cytometry assay using annexin V–fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide analysis.     

Organometallic complexes with biological molecules: V. In vivo cytotoxicity of diorganotin(IV)-amoxicillin derivatives in mitotic chromosomes of rutilus rubilio (pisces,cyprinidae)

In Order to test in vivo cytotoxicity of diorganotin(IV)-amoxicillin (amox) derivatives, mitotic chromosomes of Rutilus rubilio (Pisces, Cyprinidae) have been analyzed using two different chromosome-staining techniques. Results gathered after exposure of fish to the free amox · 3H₂O, R₂SnClamox · 2H₂O, and R₂Snamox · ₂ 2H₂O (R = methyl, butyl and phenyl; amox⁻ = 6-[D(−)-β-amino-p-hydroxyphenylacetamido]penicillinate) suggest that methyl derivatives seem to exert a lower cytotoxicity than butyl and phenyl ones and that R₂Snamox · ₂ 2H₂O deriva-tives are more toxic than R₂SnClamox · 2H₂O at both 10⁻⁵ and 10⁻⁷mol dm⁻³ concentrations. The following structural lesions have been iden-tified by comparative analysis of mitotic chromo-somes from untreated specimens (controls) and specimens treated with diorganotin(IV)-amoxicillin derivatives: (1) differentially stained chromosome areas; (2) granular deeply stained zones along the chromosomal body; (3) arm breakages; and (4) side-arm bridges (pseudochiasmata).     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization (IR, 1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR,electrospray mass spectrometry) and toxicity of new organotin(IV) complexes with N,N′,O‐ and N,N′,S‐scorpionate ligands

New organotin(IV) derivatives containing the anionic ligands bis(3,5‐dimethylpyrazol‐1‐yl)dithioacetate [LCS₂]⁻ and bis(3,5‐dimethylpyrazol‐1‐yl)acetate [LCO₂]⁻ have been synthesized from reaction between (CH₃)₂SnCl₂ and lithium salts of the ligands. Mononuclear complexes of the type {[LCX₂](CH₃)₂SnCl} (X = S or O) have been obtained and fully characterized by elemental analyses and FT‐IR in the solid state and by NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy, conductivity measurements and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in solution. The acute toxicity of new organotin(IV) derivatives on rat was studied, comparing their effect with those of dimethyltin chloride (CH₃)₂SnCl₂. The comparison of LD₅₀ of organotin(IV) complexes and (CH₃)₂SnCl₂ administered intraperitoneally, as a single dose, evaluated in vivo on rats, showed that toxicity decreases as follows: (CH₃)₂SnCl₂ > LCO₂ > LCS₂. The effect of these organotin(IV) complexes on DNA was evaluated in vitro and in vivo on rats treated with different doses of these compounds (1/20 LD₅₀ and 1/100 LD₅₀). The lymphocyte DNA status was assessed by the comet assay, a rapid and sensitive single‐cell electrophoresis technique, used to detect primary DNA damage in individual cells. After 36 h from the start of treatment the two new organotin(IV) derivatives induced a significant rise in comet assay parameters, indicating an increasing presence of damaged DNA.

Mass spectra of 5-fluorouracil derivatives. N-1-substituted sulfonyl derivatives

The electron impact mass spectra of 1-sulfonyl substituted derivatives of 5-fluorouracil were investigated. The substituents were CH₃SO₂ (compound I), CH₃(CH₂)₃SO₂ (II), C₆H₅SO₂ (III) and p-CH₃C₆H₄SO₂ (IV).     

Organotin(IV) complexes with 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde-N(4)-ethylthiosemicarbazone: Synthesis,characterization, and in vitro antibacterial activity

Four new organotin(IV) complexes with 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde-N(4)-ethylthiosemicarbazone [(H₂DNET), (1)] of the type [MeSnCl(DNET] (2), [BuSnCl(DNET)] (3), [PhSnCl(DNET)] (4), and [Ph₂Sn(DNET] (5) have been synthesized by the direct reaction of H₂DNET (1) with organotin(IV) chloride(s) in the presence of potassium hydroxide in absolute methanol. All the compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, UV-Vis, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectral studies. The molecular structure of ligand (1) has been confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Spectroscopic data clearly suggested that Sn(IV) center is coordinated with the ONS tridentate ligand (H₂DNET) and exhibits a five-coordinate geometry in solution. Antibacterial studies were carried out in vitro against four bacterial strains. All organotin(IV) compounds (2–5) showed good activity against various bacteria but lower activity than the reference drug (Ciprofloxacin). The results demonstrate that organic groups attached to tin(IV) moiety have significant effect on their biological activities. Among them, diphenyltin(IV) derivative 5 exhibits significantly good activity than the other organotin(IV) derivatives (2–4).     

Diorganotin(IV) Complexes with Monohydrate Disodium Salt of Iminodiacetic Acid: Synthesis,Characterization, Crystal Structure and Biological Activities

Diorganotin(IV) derivatives have been synthesized by the reaction of R₂SnL₂ (R=n‐Bu 1 , Ph 2 ) with monohydrate disodium salt of iminodiacetic acid ( Na₂L ) in 1 : 1 M/L ratio under reflux conditions. The compounds have been characterized by FT‐IR, NMR (¹H and ¹³C) spectoscopy, electron ionization mass spectrometry (EIMS), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and single crystal XRD. FTIR data indicates a mono‐dentate binding mode of the carboxylic acid group as well as participation of the amino nitrogen and aqua oxygen in coordination with organotin(IV) moieties. NMR data demonstrates a tetra‐coordinated environment around tin(IV) in solution. Mass spectrometric and thermogravimetric analyses verify the close similarities between the molecular structures of both complexes. The thermal stability of diphenyltin(IV) derivative ( 2 ) was found slightly higher than that of the free ligand ( Na₂L ). Single crystal X‐ray analysis of the complex 1 have shown a hexa‐coordinated geometry around Sn(IV) with trans configuration. There are evidences for the existence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the structure of the complexes. The products displayed significant antibacterial and antifungal activities in contrast to the biologically inactive ligand precursor. However, the hemolytic cytoxicity of the complexes was comparatively high than the free ligand.     

Complex Equilibria of Organotin(IV) in Aqueous Solution with Imidazole Derivatives

Summary. Equilibria studies in aqueous solution containing 25% dioxane (V/V) are reported for dimethyltin(IV) and trimethyltin(IV) (M) complexes with some imidazole derivatives (L). Stoichiometry and stability constants for the complexes formed were determined at 25°C and ionic strength 0.1M NaNO₃. The results of the dimethyltin(IV) complexes showed the best fit of the titration curves when complexes ML, ML ₂, ML ₂H_–1, and ML ₂H_–2 were expected beside the hydrolysis products of the dimethyltin(IV) cation, while the calculations of the trimethyltin(IV) complexes reported the presence of only the complexes ML, MLH_–1, and the hydrolysis products of the trimethyltin(IV) cation. The concentration distribution of each species of the complexes in solution was evaluated. The stability of all complexes formed was investigated and discussed in terms of molecular structure of the ligand imidazole and the nature of the alkyltin cation. It is deduced that the stability of the complex formed increases as the basicity of the ligand imidazole is increased. On the other hand, the trimethyltin(IV) cation has a very low ability to form complexes compared to the dimethyltin(IV) cation.Received November 22, 2002; accepted (revised) March 3, 2003 Published online August 18, 2003     

Multinuclear (Sn/Pd) complexes with disodium 2,2′-(dithiocarboxyazanediyl)diacetate hydrate; Synthesis,characterization and biological activities

Bimetallic chlorodi-/triorganotin(IV) derivatives of general formulas R₂(H₂O)SnLCSSSn(Cl)R₂ (R=Me: 1; Ph: 2) and R₃Sn(Na)LCSSSnR₃·H₂O (R=Bu: 3; Ph: 4) were prepared by reaction of iminodiacetic acid disodium salt hydrate (Na₂LH) with CS₂ and R₂SnCl₂/R₃SnCl in methanol. The reaction between Na₂LH, CS₂, and PdCl₂ produced [Na₂LCSS]₂Pd·2H₂O (5) which was treated with R₃SnCl to synthesize the heterobimetallic derivatives [R₃Sn(Na)LCSS]₂Pd·2H₂O (R=Me: 6; Ph: 7). The complexes were characterized by microanalysis, spectroscopic, and thermogravimetric analyses. Elemental analysis data, mass fragmentation, and thermal degradation patterns supported the molecular composition of the complexes. FT-IR data indicated monodentate binding of carboxylate while a chelating coordination mode of the dithiocarboxylate was verified in the solid state. A five-coordinate tin(IV) was demonstrated in the solid state. In solution, a tetrahedral/trigonal bipyramidal configuration around Sn(IV) and a square planar geometry of Pd(II) was indicated by multinuclear NMR (¹H and ¹³C) and UV-visible studies. The Pd(II) derivatives showed interaction with salmon sperm-DNA and caused an inhibition of alkaline phosphatase (ALPs). The antibacterial/antifungal potential of the coordination products varied with the nature of incorporated metal and a substitution pattern at tin(IV); the palladium metallation decreased the antimicrobial activities. The triorganotin(IV) products exhibited more powerful action against bacteria/fungi as compared to their diorganotin(IV) counterparts. The complexes displayed sufficiently lower hemolytic effects in vitro as compared to triton X-100 and slightly higher than PBS.
