Abstract

Novel lipophilic gold(I) complexes containing 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-thione or 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione derivatives were synthesized and characterized by IR, high resolution mass spectrometry, and (1)H, (13)C (31)P NMR. The cytotoxicity of the compounds was evaluated considering cisplatin and/or auranofin as reference in different tumor cell lines: colon cancer (CT26WT), metastatic skin melanoma (B16F10), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), glioblastoma (M059 J). Normal human lung fibroblasts (GM07492-A) and kidney normal cell (BHK-21) were also evaluated. The gold(I) complexes were more active than their respective free ligands and cisplatin. Furthermore, antibacterial activity was evaluated against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25213, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228 and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli ATCC 11229 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The complexes exhibited lower MIC values when compared to the ligands and chloramphenicol against Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. Escherichia coli was sensitive one to the action of gold(I) complexes.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 August 2017.
All research outputs
#15,477,045
of 22,999,744 outputs
Outputs from BioMetals
#383
of 646 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#198,987
of 317,238 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BioMetals
#1
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,999,744 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 646 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,238 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
