Introduction

Extensive use of organotin compounds in various fields

of life results in a quantum leap in organotin chemistry.

The stability and structural diversity of organotin com-

pounds make their coordination chemistry very interest-

ing (Shahzadi and Ali, 2008). One of the most rapidly

developing areas of pharmaceutical research is the dis-

covery of robust drugs for treating cancers. Cisplatin [ cis- diamminedichloroplatinum(II)] (Rosenberg et  al., 1965,

1969) is an archetypical metal-based drug widely used for

treating cancer. However, it possesses serious limitations

because of inherent or acquired resistance in tumor cells

and severe side effects (Bonire and Fricker, 2001). There-

fore, there is an exigency to identify effective metal-based

therapeutics, particularly those that overcome inher-

ent and acquired resistance to drug therapy and show

improved therapeutic properties, stimulating the ongoing

investigations of alternative molecule-targeted metal-

based drugs (Storr et al., 2006). Organometallic complexes

of group 14 elements, especially tin(IV) and silicon(IV)

derivatives, have been the subject of considerable interest

(Dakternieks et al., 1997; Casas et al., 2000) owing to their

unique physical, chemical and structural properties (Jain,

1996) favorable to the environment (Ukita et  al., 1999).

Recently, we have published a few papers on the chem-

istry of silicon compounds, silatranes and organolead

complexes with amino acids and dipeptides (Sandhu and

Kaur, 1990a,b; Sandhu and Hundal, 1991; Narula et  al.,

2000a,b, 2002a,b, 2007; Malhotra et al., 2007; Puri et al.,

2007, 2008a,b, 2009a,b, 2011a,b; Singh et  al., 2010a,b).

As all the organotin(IV) derivatives degrade by chemical

action to produce nontoxic inorganic compounds, we are

attempting to explore the chemistry of tin(IV) complexes.

Because fast and effective relief of pain and inflamma-

tion in humans with minimum side effects continues to

be a major challenge for medicinal chemistry research-

ers, many diorganotin(IV) derivatives have been found to

have the potential to be placed in the class of nonsteroidal

anti-inflammatory drugs (Nath et al., 1999, 2003, 2004a,b,

2006; Shahzadi et al., 2005). Another important applica-

tion of organotin(IV) compounds is their use as activating

agents and templates that combine two functional groups

of the substrate (Puri and Kaur, 2005; Puri et al., 2008a,b).

Ofloxacin is a fluorinated carboxyquinolone and it is a

racemic mixture, which consists of 50% levofloxacin and

50% of its “ mirror image ” or enantiomer dextrofloxacin. It

is used as an antimicrobial agent for oral administration.

Complexes of ofloxacin have been synthesized and char-

acterized with Mg(II), Ca(II), Ba(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)

metal ions (Sagdinc and Bayari, 2004; Affan et al., 2009).

Albendazole is an antihelminthic drug derived from ben-

zimidazole that has a broad spectrum of activity, good tol-

erance and low cost. It has been used against human and

animal helminth parasites. The synthesis and characteriza-

tion of albendazole have been studied with Cu(II), Mn(II),

Ni(II), Co(II) and Cr(III) metal ions (El-Metwaly and Refat,

2011). In the present work, we report the synthesis, spectro-

scopic characterization and biological activities of a series

of di- and triorganotin(IV) complexes of albendazole (L 1 H),

ofloxacin (L 2 H) and 3-carboxypropyldisulfide (L 3 H).

2 O [R = n -Bu] with albendazole, ofloxacin and 3-car-

boxypropyldisulfide in 1:1 and 1:2 (metal/ligand) molar

ratio leads to the formation of complexes ( 1 – 9 ) with an

azeotropic removal of water (Scheme 1). All the synthe-

sized organotin(IV) complexes were obtained in good

yield (67 – 71%) and were stable toward air and moisture.

All the complexes ( 1 – 9 ) were identified by elemental anal-

ysis ( Table 1 ).

Spectroscopic data

Ultraviolet spectra

Ultraviolet (UV) spectra of organotin complexes ( 4 – 6 )

were measured at room temperature in chloroform in the

300 – 310 nm in the organotin(IV) complexes ( 4 – 6 ) are

attributed to a charge transfer transition.

Infrared spectra

Characteristic infrared (IR) frequencies (in cm -1 ) for

organotin(IV) derivatives are presented in Table 2 . The

absence of a broad band due to OH in the 2900 – 3500 cm -1

region of the carboxylic group in complexes 4 – 9 indicates

the deprotonation of this group and confirms its subse-

quent coordination through the oxygen atom and hence the

complex formation (Shahzadi et al., 2007). A strong absorp-

tion appears in the range 414 – 456 cm -1 in the spectra of com-

plexes 4 – 9 (Shahzadi et al., 2008; Shah et al., 2009) but is

absent in the spectra of the free ligand. It is assigned to the

Sn-O stretching vibration, which confirms the coordination

of carboxylate oxygen atoms to tin(IV) (Choudhary et  al.,

2002). The presence of a broad band due to the imidazole

-NH group in the spectra of complexes 1 – 3 in the range

3327 – 3337 cm -1 shows the noncoordination of the imidazole

nitrogen around the organotin moiety. The appearance of a

band in the range 423 – 456 cm -1 is assigned to ν (Sn-N) in the

spectra of complexes 1 – 3 . It shows the coordination of nitro-

gen with the organotin moiety. This band is consistent with

that detected in a number of organotin(IV)-oxygen deriva-

tives (Holmes et al., 1987; Sandhu and Hundal, 1991). In com-

plexes 4 – 9 , Δ ν between ν asy

(COO) and ν sym

(COO) is important

because these frequencies can be used to determine the type

of bonding between the metal and the carboxyl groups. The

values of Δ ѵ [ Δ ѵ = ѵ asym

(COO)-ѵ sym

(COO)] can be divided into

three groups: a) in compounds where Δ ѵ (COO) > 350; hence

the compounds contain the high probability of the presence

of monodentate carboxylate group; b) in compounds where

Δ ѵ (COO) < 200; hence the carboxylate groups of the com-

pounds can be considered as bidentate; c) in compounds

where Δ ѵ (COO) < 350 and > 200 are considered as interme-

diate between monodentate and bidentate, which is called

anisobidentate (Lebl et al., 1996). In complexes 4 – 9 , peaks

at 1708 – 1760 and 1330 – 1465 cm -1 have been assigned to the

ν asy

(COO) and ν sym

(COO) groups, respectively. In complexes

4 , 5 , 6 and 9 , the Δ ѵ value corresponds to the monodentate

boxylic proton in ofloxacin and 3-carboxypropyldisulfide

is absent in the spectra of complexes 4 – 9 . It indicates the

formation of the Sn-O bond and is consistent with the IR

data. The signal in the range δ 5.6 – 5.72 ppm for the imi-

dazole -NH proton in free albendazole does not undergo

any downfield shift on complex formation in 1 – 3 . It shows

the nonparticipation of imidazole nitrogen in bonding to

the central metal ion. The aromatic ring protons in the

range 7.02 – 8.9 ppm in complexes 1 – 6 suffer downfield

shift because of the deshielding of these protons due to

protons in the complexes 1 – 9 have been identified, and

the total numbers of protons calculated from the integra-

tion curves are in agreement with those calculated by

incremental method (Danish et al., 1995).

13 C NMR spectra

13 C NMR spectral data along with the assignment of

characteristic peaks of all the synthesized organotin(IV)

complexes are presented in Table 4 . The peak at 161.6 –

171.2 ppm has been assigned to the -C = O, which does not

undergo any shift on complexation. It illustrates the non-

participation of this group in complexes 1 – 6 . The signals

in the range 115 – 134 ppm, which have been assigned to

the aromatic carbons of free albendazole and ofloxacin,

suffer significant downfield shift on complexation in

1 – 6 . The appearance of peaks in the range 23.7 – 41.5 ppm,

which has been assigned to the Sn-C peaks of the butyl

and octyl groups, confirms the complex formation in the

complexes 1 – 9 (Sandhu and Kaur, 1990a,b, 1991). All

magnetically nonequivalent carbons of alkyl or phenyl

groups attached to the tin have been identified, and their

chemical shifts are in close agreement with the reported

values.

119 Sn NMR

The possibility of detecting the presence of coordinative

different organotin(IV) moieties was explored by acqui-

sition of 119 Sn NMR spectra. The 119 Sn chemical shifts

usually cover a range, quoted relative to tetramethyltin,

complex 7 depicted a single resonance signal at δ value

-143. As indicated by the single value, trigonal bipyrami-

dal geometry around the tin atom is proposed in this poly-

meric structure (Holecek et al., 1986).

Antifungal activity

The synthesized complexes ( 1 – 9 ) are checked in dimethyl

sulfoxide, chloroform, methanol, ethanol and dichlo-

romethane for their solubility, but the complexes ( 4 – 6 )

are soluble in CHCl 3 . The complexes ( 4 – 6 ) are screened

against Candida albicans for their antifungal activity.

Percentage inhibition of complexes ( 4 – 6 ) is presented in

Table 5 . Triorganotin(IV) complex ( 6 ) is found to be more

active than diorganotin(IV) derivatives ( 4 – 5 ).

Conclusion Organotin(IV) complexes of albendazole, ofloxacin and

3-carboxypropyldisulfide have been synthesized in 1:1

and 1:2 (metal: ligand) molar ratio through azeotropic

removal of water. The spectroscopic studies of all the

synthesized complexes suggest a tetrahedral geometry

in diorganotin complexes of albendazole and ofloxacin,

whereas trigonal bipyramidal in 3-carboxypropyldi-

sulfide (Holecek et  al., 1986; Lebl et  al., 1996). In trior-

ganotin complexes of albendazole, ofloxacin and 3-car-

boxypropyldisulfide, trigonal bipyramidal geometry is

observed (Lebl et al., 1996). The antifungal activity of all

the studied complexes revealed that the activity increases

on complexation, and the triorganotin complexes are

found to be more active than diorganotin complexes. UV

spectroscopic studies for the complexes 4 – 6 further show

the nonparticipation of the hetero atoms (other than the

coordinating atoms) present in the ligands in bonding to

the central tin metal ion.

H. Kaur et al.: Organotin derivatives of albendazole, ofloxacin and 3-carboxypropyldisulfide      53

Experimental

Materials All the di- and triorganotin(IV) compounds were purchased from

Alpha products (Sigma-Aldrich, New Delhi, India) and were used as

such. All the reactions were carried out under anhydrous conditions.

The solvents used were dried before use according to the literature

method (Armarego and Chai, 2003).

Instruments and measurements Melting points were determined in a capillary tube on an electro-

thermal melting point apparatus. UV spectra for the complexes were

recorded at 250 – 500 nm with a Systronics Double beam spectropho-

tometer 2203. IR spectra for the complexes ( 1 – 9 ) were recorded on a

PerkinElmer FTIR spectrophotometer at 4000 – 200 cm -1 . The 1 H NMR,

13 C and 119 Sn NMR were recorded on a Bruker Avance II 400 NMR

spectrometer. All chemical shift values were reported with respect to

tetramethylsilane as internal solvent. Carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen

(CHN) analysis of the samples was performed on the PerkinElmer

model 2400 CHN Analyzer.

Synthesis of dibutyltin, dioctyltin and bis(tributyltinoxide) complexes of albendazole, ofloxacin and 3-carboxypropyldisulfide Dialkyl/trialkyltin(IV) oxide (1 mmol) and the ligands (L 1 H, L 2 H) (2

mmol) and (L 3 H 2 ) (1 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of dry ben-

zene (30 ml) and methanol (L 1 H, L 2 H, L 3 H 2 ) (10 ml). The reaction mix-

ture was then heated at refl ux and the water was removed by azeo-

tropic distillation. The dialkyl/trialkyltin(IV) oxide dissolved within

10 – 15 min to give a clear solution. Refl uxing was further continued

for 3 – 4 h and the contents were fi ltered and then cooled. Excess sol-

vent was removed by distillation, leaving behind a solid complex.

All the solids were recrystallized from the mixture of methanol and

hexane (5:1) and dried in vacuo at 40 – 50 ° C for 2 – 3 h. Purity of the

complexes was checked by thin-layer chromatography using silica

gel-G as adsorbent.

Antifungal activity The biological activity for the synthesized complexes was studied on

C. albicans , a representative model organism used to screen the anti-

fungal activity. The organism was procured from the Microbial Type

Culture Collection Centre, Institute of Microbial Technology, Chan-

digarh, India. To study the eff ects of newly synthesized complexes,

these were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide/chloroform/methanol/

ethanol and dichloromethane and kept at 4 ° C until further use.

The organism was cultured in Sabouraud dextrose broth medium at

30 ° C and then subcultured aft er every 36 h so as to maintain it in log

phase. For all the experiments, actively proliferating log phase cells

were taken, and the antifungal activities of various complexes were

studied by growing the cells at the fi nal concentrations of 0.80 and

0.40 mg/ml in a total of 2 ml of culture medium. Cells of C. albicans

were counted with a hemocytometer, and 1 × 10 5 cells per milliliter of

the medium were used as inoculum. Growth of cells was measured by

optical density measurement at 600 nm. Experiments were conducted

with the yeast form of C. albicans grown at 30 ° C in the presence of the

above complexes at the fi nal concentrations of 0.80 and 0.40 mg/ml.

Cell turbidity was measured aft er 24 h at 600 nm.
