A theoretical study on structure, stability and biological activity of platinum(II) complexes containing etyleugenoxyacetate and 8-hydroxyquinoline
Abstract
Sixstable structures were found of the interaction between [PtCl 3 (Eteug)] - and 8-hydroxyquinoline at B3LYP/LanL2DZ level of theory. Variations of enthalpy and Gibbs free energies of reactions forming complexes are in the range of 36.28-113.19 kcal.mol -1 and 43.05-113.03 kcal.mol -1 . The AIM results indicate that the stability of complexes is mainly determined by the Pt N, Pt O interactions with an additional complementary of O − H Cl, C − H O, C−H∙∙∙Cl hydrogen bonds . Besides, Pt(II) complexes containing etyleugenoxyacetate and 8- hydroxyquinoline are synthesized and characterized by IR, 1 H NMR, NOESY spectra. It is remarkable that data from experimental spectra are well matched with the results of the calculations using the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level of theory . [PtCl(Eteug)(8-HOQ)] show a potential anti-cancer cytotoxicity on three the human cancer cells KB, LU and MCF-7 with small IC 50 values of 0.27, 0.34 and 0.32 μg/ml, respectively.
