Study of the Anticancer Properties of Tin(IV) Carboxylate Complexes on a Panel of Human Tumor Cell Lines

A group of organotin(IV) complexes were prepared: [SnCy 3 (DMNI)] ( 1 ), [SnCy 3 (BZDO)] ( 2 ), [SnCy 3 (DMFU)] ( 3 ), and [SnPh 2 (BZDO) 2 ] ( 4 ), for which DMNIH=2,6‐dimethoxynicotinic acid, BZDOH=1,4‐benzodioxane‐6‐carboxylic acid, and DMFUH=2,5‐dimethyl‐3‐furoic acid. The cytotoxic activities of compounds 1 – 4 were tested against pancreatic carcinoma (PANC‐1), erythroleukemia (K562), and two glioblastoma multiform (U87 and LN‐229) human...
