Interaction of 5'-Guanosine Monophosphate with Organotin(IV) Moieties: Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and Anti-Inflammatory Activity.

Reaction(s) of 5'-guanosine monophosphate (5'GMP) with di- and triorganotin(IV) chloride(s) led to formation of organotin(IV) derivatives of general formulae, [R2Sn(5'-GMP)·H2O] n and [(R'3Sn)2(5'-GMP)·H2O] n , where R = Me, n-Bu, and Ph; R' = Me, i-Pr, n-Bu, and Ph; (5'-GMP)(2-) = 5'-guanosine monophosphate. An attempt has been made to prove the structures of the resulting derivatives on the basis of FT-IR, multinuclear (1)H, (13)C, and (119)Sn NMR and (119)Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies. These investigations suggest that both di- and triorganotin(IV)-5'-guanosine monophosphates are polymeric in which (5'-GMP)(2-) is bonded through phosphate group resulting in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around tin. The ribose conformation in all of the derivatives is C3'-endo, except diphenyltin(IV) and tri-i-propyltin(IV) derivatives where it is C2'-endo. All of the studied derivatives exhibited mild-to-moderate anti-inflammatory activity (~15.64-20.63% inhibition) at 40 mg kg(-1) dose and LD50 values > 400 mg kg(-1) in albino rats.
