Article Abstract

Background: Cancer cases have escalated by approximately 12% since 1900 and the incidence rate has increased faster for females than males. The discovery of cisplatin in 1965 paved the way for metal-based compounds as cancer therapeutics. Unfortunately, cisplatin and other platinum-based medicines cause severe side effects. Therefore, non-platinum metal complexes have been developed as alternate cancer drugs. Among non-platinum metal complexes, organotins are the most effective candidates in oncology due to their wide range of anticancer activities with relatively minimal toxicities towards healthy cells, better excretion from the body, and fewer side effects than platinum drugs.

Methods: Using DOI searching, advances made by organotin(IV) complexes coordinated with Sn-O, Sn-N and Sn-S as chemotherapeutic agents since 2018 are summarized in this article. Their chemical structure and in vitro antiproliferative activity in terms of IC/EC/LD are cumulated.

Results: As reflected in this perspective, organotin(IV) complexes are found to induce high cell death via apoptosis, and also several complexes demonstrated anticancer activity even higher than standard drugs.

Conclusion: Undoubtedly, the organotin(IV) complexes could bring hope to morbidity and mortality of human beings caused by fast-spreading cancer worldwide and can play an important role in drug discovery.

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.
