Organotins: Toxicology and biological effects

Organotins are currently one of the most studied groups of organometallic compounds; their novel and often unique chemical properties have intrigued chemists for over 100 years and, today, many of these compounds find extensive use in agriculture and industry. Over the years, however, a number of the organotins have been demonstrated to be toxic and there is now increasing concern that their widespread use may cause adverse effects within environmental and biological systems. This article reviews and updates the current literature concerning organotin toxicology. It identifies the various target organs and systems, discusses mechanisms and species susceptibility, and directs the reader to additional sources of more specialized information as appropriate.

Phenolic compounds of Solanum xanthocarpum play an important role in anti-inflammatory effects

Solanum xanthocarpum is used for the treatment of rheumatic arthritis, toothache, sore throats, carbuncle, furuncle, and other inflammatory diseases in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medical system, with the phenolic compounds being one of its principal components. In this study, 51 phenolic compounds including seven new compounds 1, 2, 9, 13, 17, 22, and 40 were isolated from the fruits of Solanum xanthocarpum. 40 known compounds 3–8, 10–12, 14–16, 18–21, 23–25, 28–32, 35–39, 41–51 were firstly isolated from Solanum xanthocarpum. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, X-ray crystallography, NMR calculations, chemical methods, and comparisons of spectroscopic data. The results of anti-inflammatory assays indicated that most isolated compounds (3–7, 11–30, 32–37, 39, 40, 42, 43, 45, and 48–51) possessed significant inhibitory activities of the NO release of LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 10.46 to 47.59 μM. Further analysis by molecular docking implied that most bioactive compounds could interact with the amino acid residues of iNOS proteins, supporting the anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds. Especially, compounds 17–20, 26–27, 32, and 34 showed strong affinities with iNOS proteins. The bioinformatic analysis further revealed the potential anti-inflammatory targets of the phenolic compounds isolated from the fruits of Solanum xanthocarpum.     

Synthesis,characterization, crystal structure,and biological studies of vanadium complexes with glycolic acid

Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure, and biological studies of two complexes with glycolic acid are described. The solid complexes were formulated as K₂[VO(C₂H₂O₃)(C₂H₃O₃)₂] · H₂O (1) and K₂[{VO₂(C₂H₂O₃)}₂] (2) and characterized by X-ray studies, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and magnetic susceptibility. Conversion of 1 to 2 was studied in aqueous solution by UV–Vis spectroscopy and in the solid state by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Complex 2 contains dinuclear [{VO₂(C₂H₂O₃)}₂]^2? anions in which glycolate(2?) is a five-membered chelating ring formed by carboxylate and α-hydroxy groups. The geometry around the vanadium in 2 was interpreted as intermediate between a trigonal bipyramid and a square pyramid. Vanadium(IV) is pentacoordinate in 1 as a distorted square pyramid. Complex 1 contains a vanadyl group (V=O) surrounded by two oxygens from deprotonated carboxylate and hydroxy groups forming a five-membered ring. Two oxygens from different glycolates(1?) are bonded to the (V=O) also. Biological analysis for potential cytotoxic effects of 1 was performed using Human Cervix Adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cells, a human cervix adenocarcinoma-derived cell line. After incubation for 48 h, 1 causes 90 and 95% of HeLa cells death at 20 and 200 μmol L^?1, respectively.

A new route has been devised, leading to the production of VOX₃ molecules where X=F, Br and I by an on-line process using vanadium oxytrichloride, VOCl₃ as a starting compound passed over the following heated salts NaF, KBr and KI at 375, 700 and 550°C, respectively. The products have been characterized by the IR spectra of their vapors. The low resolution gas phase on-line Fourier transform infrared spectra reported for the first time show strong bands with PQR type structure, centered at 1058, 1035, 1030 and 1025 cm⁻¹ assigned to the ν₁(a₁), the O=V stretching fundamental mode of VOF₃, VOCl₃, VOBr₃ and VOI₃, respectively.

The oxidation of l-cysteine was observed at potentials which ranged from 0.52 V to 0.67 V. The detection limits for l-cysteine analysis were of the order of 10^− 7 to 10^− 6 M.     

New homoleptic organometallic derivatives of vanadium(III) and vanadium(IV): synthesis, characterization, and study of their electrochemical behaviour

The arylation of [VCl3(thf)3] with LiR(Cl), where R(Cl) is a polychlorinated phenyl group [C6Cl5, 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl(tcp), or 2,6-dichlorophenyl (dcp)] gives four-coordinate, homoleptic organovanadium(III) derivatives with the formula [Li(thf)(4)][V(III)(R(Cl))(4)] (R(Cl) = C(6)Cl(5) (1), tcp (2), dcp (3)). The anion [V(III)(C6Cl5)4]- has an almost tetrahedral geometry, as observed in the solid-state structure of [NBu4][V(C6Cl5)4] (1') (X-ray diffraction). Compounds 1-3 are electrochemically related to the neutral organovanadium(IV) species [V(IV)(R(Cl))4] (R(Cl) = C6Cl5 (4), tcp (5), dcp (6)). The redox potentials of the V(IV)/V(III) semisystems in CH2Cl2 decrease with decreasing chlorination of the phenyl ring (E(1/2) = 0.84 (4/1), 0.42 (5/2), 0.25 V (6/3)). All the [V(IV)(R(Cl))4] derivatives involved in these redox couples could also be prepared and isolated by chemical methods. The arylation of [VCl(3)(thf)(3)] with LiC6F5 also gives a homoleptic organovanadium(III) compound, but with a different stoichiometry: [NBu4]2[V(III)(C6F5)5] (7). In this five-coordinate species, the C6F5 groups define a trigonal bipyramidal environment for the vanadium atom (X-ray diffraction). EPR spectra for the new organovanadium compounds 1-6 are also given and analysed in terms of an elongated tetrahedral structure with C(2v) local symmetry. It is suggested that the R(Cl) groups exert a protective effect towards the vanadium centre.
