linoleic-acid and triphenyltin

Degradation pathway and surface biosorption of triphenyltin (TPT) by effective microbes have been investigated in the past. However, unclear interactions among membrane components and TPT binding and transport are still obstacles to understanding TPT biotransformation. To reveal the mechanism involved, the phospholipid expression, membrane potential, cellular mechanism and molecular dynamics between TPT and fatty acids (FAs) during the TPT degradation process in the presence of d-malic acid (DMA) were studied. The results show that the degradation efficiency of 1 mg L

The reaction between 2-thiobarbituric acid (H(2)TBA), which was treated with an equimolar amount of potassium hydroxide, in a water with triphenytin chloride in methanol, results in the formation of the {[Ph(3)Sn(O-HTBA)]}(n) (1) complex. Crystals of the hydrated 1 with formula {[Ph(3)Sn(O-HTBA)]·0.7(H(2)O)}(n) were growth from methanol/acetonitrile solution, of the white precipitation, filtered off, from the reaction. The crystal structure of complex 1 has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 120 K. Complex 1 is polymeric. The geometry around the tin(IV) ions is trigonal bi-pyramidal with coordination to three C atoms from phenyl groups and one O atom from a de-protonated HTBA ligand. Complex 1 and the already known [(n-Bu)(3)Sn(O-HTBA)·H(2)O] (2) were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity (cell viability) against human cancer cell lines: HeLa (cervical), OAW-42 (ovarian), MCF-7 (breast, ER positive), MDA-MB-231 (breast, ER negative), A549 (lung), Caki-1 (renal) and additionally, the normal human lung cell line MRC-5 (normal human fetal lung fibroblast cells) and normal immortalized human mammary gland epithelial cell line MTSV17 with a Trypan Blue assay. Moreover complex 1 was evaluated for its in vitro cell growth proliferation activity against leiomyosarcoma cells (LMS), MCF-7 and MRC-5 cells with a Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay. The type of cell death caused by complexes 1 and 2 was also evaluated by use of flow cytometry assay. The results showed that these compounds mediate a strong cytotoxic response to normal and cancer cell lines tested through apoptosis and induce cell cycle arrest in S phase of the cell cycle, suggesting DNA intercalation (direct or indirect) with the complexes. Finally, the influence of these complexes 1 and 2 upon the catalytic peroxidation of linoleic acid to hydroperoxylinoleic acid by the enzyme lipoxygenase (LOX) was kinetically and theoretically studied.
