Synthesis, Characterization, and Anticancer Activity of Organotin(IV) Complexes with Sodium 3-(1H-Indol-3-yl)propanoate

Six organotin(IV) complexes have been synthesized by refluxing sodium salt of 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-propanoic acid with di- and triorganotin chlorides in 1: 1 and 2: 1 molar ratios, respectively. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMR spectral data. DNA binding studies were performed by viscometric measurements and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Both techniques indicated an intercalation mode of...
