Hypoxia plays a vital role in tumor microenvironment by allowing development and maintenance of cancer cells thereby led to major hindrance for effective anticancer therapy and main reason for failure of most anticancer drugs. We herein investigated the therapeutic efficacy and molecular mechanism of action of aqua-(2-formylbenzoato) triphenyltin (IV) compound (OTC) in MDA-MB-231 cell line. Cobalt chloride induced hypoxic MDA-MB-231 cells treated with OTC were used to access cytotoxicity, ROS, cellular apoptosis, and cell cycle progression.

The molecular structures of five diorganotin(IV) carboxylates, (I)-(V), can be categorized into two main well-known structural types for such Sn complexes. One is the mononuclear dialkytin(IV) carboxylates with an [RSn(LH)]-type skew-trapezoidal bipyramid, where the alkyl ligands are in pseudo-axial positions and the O atoms from two asymmetrically coordinated bidentate carboxylate ligands are in the equatorial plane. This structure type is adopted by dibutylbis{(E)-2-hydroxy-5-[(3-methylphenyl)diazenyl]benzoato}tin(IV) cyclohexane hemisolvate, [Sn(CH)(CHNO)]·0.

Eight Ti(iv) compounds 1-8, of the type [Ti(Ln)2] where Ln is a variously substituted dianionic tridentate acylhydrazone, were synthesized by reacting the appropriate hydrazide with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 2'-hydroxyacetophenone and titanium(iv) tetra(isopropoxide) in a 2 : 2 : 1 molar ratio. The solid-state structures of 1-6 and 7·CH2Cl2 were deduced from the single crystal X-ray diffraction data, which indicated that each L2- ligand is fully deprotonated and coordinated to the Ti(iv) cation via the enolic oxygen, the imino nitrogen and the phenolic oxygen atoms (ONO donor set) in an enol tautomeric form, the metal assuming the distorted octahedral geometry. The structures of pro-ligands H2L3 and H2L5 are also reported.

Metal complexes with organelle specificity and potent but selective cytotoxicity are highly desirable. A novel series of triphenylstannyl 4-((arylimino)methyl)benzoates (2-8) were obtained by the reactions of triphenylstannyl 4-formylbenzoate [PhSn(L)] 1 with primary aromatic amines. Two representative compounds (10, 11) were also synthesized by reacting aqua-triphenylstannyl 2-formylbenzoate [PhSn(L)(HO)] (9) with aniline and p-fluoroaniline, respectively.

The amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) and its neurotoxic cleavage product amyloid beta (Aβ) are a cause of Alzheimer's disease and appear essential for neuronal development and cell homeostasis. Proteolytic processing of APP is influenced by metal ions and protein ligands, however the structural and functional mechanism of APP regulation is not known so far. In this context, molecular modeling studies were performed to understand the molecular behavior of (E)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)arylamines (LR) with an E2 domain of the APP in its complex with zinc (APP; PDB ID: ).

In the title diorganotin dicarboxyl-ate, [Sn(CH(3))(2)(C(17)H(17)N(2)O(3))(2)], the tin(IV) atom is six-coordinated by four O atoms derived from asymmetrically coordinating carboxyl-ate ligands, and two methyl-C atoms. The resulting C(2)O(4) donor set defines a skew-trapezoidal bipyramid with the Sn-C bonds disposed over the weaker Sn-O bonds. Within each carboxyl-ate ligand, the hydroxyl-H atom forms bifurcated O-H⋯(O,N) hydrogen bonds with carboxyl-ate-O and azo-N atoms.
