ABSTRACT

Three new compounds of dibutyltin(IV) with N-alkylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate were successfully synthesized using in situ methods. Elemental analysis data of these complexes were in agreement with the general formula of (C4H9)2Sn[S2CNR(C6H11)]2 (R = CH3, C2H5, i-C3H7). Infrared spectra showed that the thioureide bands, ν(C=N) appeared in the region of 1475 - 1479 cm-1, ν(C=S) bands in the region of 978 - 998 cm-1 and ν(Sn-S) bands in the region of 375 – 389 cm-1. Crystal structure of dibutyltin(IV) ethylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate showed a triclinic system and space group P-1. The crystal structure of the dithiocarbamate ligands were bidentically chelated to the tin atom with Sn-S unsymmetrical: Sn(1)-S(1) = 2.9255(11) and Sn(1)-S(2) = 2.5419(10); Sn(1)-S(3) = 2.8922(9) and Sn(1)-S(4) = 2.5293(10)Å. These compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against four bacteria species using the disc diffusion method. The results showed that (C4H9)2Sn[S2CN(i-C3H7)(C6H11)]2 was mildly active against those three bacteria. Where as all of these compounds exhibited in vitro cytotoxicity activity toward human leukemic promyelocites HL-60 cell line with CD50 values lower than 1.00 μg/mL.

Keywords: Biological activities; dibutyltin(IV); dithiocarbamate

ABSTRAK

Tiga sebatian baru dibutilstanum(IV) dengan ligan N-alkilsikloheksilditiokarbamat telah berjaya disintesis menggunakan kaedah in situ. Data analisis unsur sebatian ini bersetuju dengan formula umum (C4H9)2Sn[S2CNR(C6H11)]2 (R = CH3, C2H5, i-C3H7). Spektrum inframerah menunjukkan jalur tioureida, ν(C=N) berada pada julat 1475 - 1479 cm-1, ν(C=S) berada dalam julat 978 - 998 cm-1 dan ν(Sn-S) berada pada julat 375 – 389 cm-1. Struktur hablur sebatian dibutilstanum(IV) etilsikloheksilditiokarbamat adalah bersistem triklinik dengan kumpulan ruang P-1. Ligan ditiokarbamat mengkelat kepada logam stanum secara bidentat dengan ikatan Sn-S yang tidak simetri: Sn(1)-S(1) = 2.9255(11) dan Sn(1)-S(2) = 2.5419(10); Sn(1)-S(3) = 2.8922(9) dan Sn(1)-S(4) = 2.5293(10) Å. Sebatian ini telah diuji ke atas empat spesies bakteria dan didapati (C4H9)2Sn[S2CN(i-C3H7)(C6H11)]2 mempunyai aktiviti yang sederhana terhadap tiga bakteria. Ketiga-tiga sebatian ini menunjukkan aktiviti sitotoksik secara in vitro terhadap titisan sel leukemia promielosit manusia, HL-60 dengan nilai CD₅₀ kurang daripada 1.0 μg/mL.

Kata kunci: Aktiviti biologi; dibutilstanum(IV); ditiokarbamat
