摘要
The synthesis, characterization and biological activity of tungstenocenes with varying biologically active (,-), (,- and (,- chelates are described. Complexes were characterized by H and C NMR, elemental analysis, ESI-mass spectrometry, FT-IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The aqueous stability was studied by UV/Vis spectroscopy and the W to W process by cyclic voltammetry. The cytotoxicity was determined by the MTT assay in A549, CH1/PA-1 and SW480 cancer cells as well as in IMR-90 human fibroblasts. Extensive biological evaluation was performed in three other human cancer cell lines (HCT116, HT29 and MCF-7) in monolayer and multicellular tumor spheroid cultures to better understand the mode of action. Lead compounds showed promising in vitro anticancer activity in all cancer cell lines. Further studies yielded important insights into apoptosis induction, ROS generation, different patterns in metal distribution (detected by LA-ICP-TOF-MS), changes in KI67 (proliferation marker) expression and DNA interactions. The results based on qualitative and quantitative research designs show that complexes containing (,-) chelates are more active than their (,-) and (,-) counterparts. The most striking results in spheroid models are the high antiproliferative capacity and the different distribution pattern of two complexes differing only in a W-S or W-O bond.
