Abstract

A series of 2-methyl-, 4-methyl-, and 2,4-dimethyl-8-quinolineselenolates of zinc, cadmium, mercury, nickel, palladium, platinum, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth has been synthesized and their cytotoxicity has been studied on HT-1080 (human fibrosarcoma), MG-22A (mouse hepatoma), B16 (mouse melanoma), and Neuro 2A (mouse neuroblastoma) tumor cells. Mercury complexes were distinguished by high cytotoxicity on all the cell lines. Palladium complexes possessed somewhat lower activity and were significantly less toxic in relation to normal NIH 3T3 mouse embryo fibroblasts. All the studied metal 2-methyl-8-quinolineselenolates displayed high cytotoxicity on B16 melanoma, arsenic 4-methyl-8-quinolineselenolate acted most effectively on  HT-1080 and MG-22A cells. Di(4-methyl-8-quinolyl) diselenide also possessed high cytotoxicity on these same cells.
