Biologically potent organotin(iv) complexes of -acetylated β-amino acids with spectroscopic, X-ray powder diffraction and molecular docking studies.

Twelve novel organotin(iv) complexes (1-12) of -acetylated β-amino acids (L-L) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, multinuclear (H, C, Sn) NMR, EI-MS and powder XRD techniques. The XRD results determined lattice parameters, average particle size, and intrinsic strain and confirmed the crystalline nature of complexes as face centered cubic phases. Molecular docking analysis using a catalytic pocket of the enzyme indicated that most of the compounds displayed a well-fitted orientation and occupied important amino acids in the enzyme's catalytic pocket.
