Reaction of n-butyltin trichloride [(n-Bu)SnCl(3)] with 2-pyridineformamide thiosemicarbazone (H2Am4DH) and its N(4)-methyl (H2Am4Me) and N(4)-ethyl (H2Am4Et) derivatives gave [(n-Bu)Sn(2Am4DH)Cl(2)] (1), [(n-Bu)Sn(2Am4Me)Cl(2)] (2), and [(n-Bu)Sn(2Am4Et)Cl(2)] (3). Thiosemicarbazones as well as their tin complexes are active as antimicrobials against the growth of Candida albicans and Salmonella typhimurium and were highly active against malignant glioblastoma. The cytotoxic activity of complexes 1-3 is similar. Among the studied compounds [(n-Bu)Sn(2Am4DH)Cl(2)] (1) was the most active as antiproliferative (cytostatic) agent. Thiosemicarbazones and their tin(IV) complexes proved to be more potent as cytotoxic agents than cisplatin. All the compounds were able to induce apoptosis.

Cyclometallated iridium(III) and organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes have shown potential application value in the field of anticancer. However, the widespread aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of these complexes is not conducive to the exploration of their targeting and anticancer mechanism, and the idea of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect can effectively solve this problem. Then, AIE-activated cyclometallated iridium(III)-tributyltin(IV) carboxylate Schiff base complexes were designed and prepared in this study.

Studies of Anticancer Activities In Vitro and In Vivo for Butyltin(IV)-Iridium(III) Imidazole-Phenanthroline Complexes with Aggregation-Induced Emission Properties.

Inorg Chem

Key Laboratory of Life-Organic Analysis of Shandong Province, Institute of Anticancer Agents Development and Theranostic Application, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Qufu Normal University, Qufu 273165, China.

Organotin(IV) and iridium(III) complexes have shown good application potential in the field of anticancer; however, the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect induced by high concentration or dose has limited the research on their targeting and anticancer mechanism. Then, a series of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-activated butyltin(IV)-iridium(III) imidazole-phenanthroline complexes were prepared in this study. Complexes exhibited significant fluorescence improvement in the aggregated state because of the restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR), accompanied by an absolute fluorescence quantum yield of up to 29.
