Tetraethylammonium (diorgano)halogeno(thiosalicylato)stannates: synthesis, characterization and in vitro antitumor activity
摘要:
Some tetraethylammonium adducts of diorganotin thiosalicylates were prepared and characterized by Mossbauer, H-1, C-13, F-19 and Sn-119 NMR spectroscopy. Their solution chemistry in DMSO at equilibrium is discussed on the basis of Sn-119 NMR data. These data are explained in terms of the complex being six-coordinate with one DMSO ligand and existing as a mixture of at least five isomers. These adducts appear to be only slightly more active in vitro than the parent diorganotin thiosalicylates against MCF-7, a mammary tumor, and especially against WiDr, a colon carcinoma. The ionic character of the species, resulting in higher solubility, did not provide higher antitumor activities.
