EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF NOVEL ORGANOTIN COMPLEXES DERIVED FROM A NEWLY SYNTHESIZED LIGAND AND THEIR STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION

In this work, of New Ligand [(E)-5-hydroxy-4-(3-(4-methoxy phenyl) acryl amido) naphthalene -1- sulfonic acid] (ANS) was prepared by reflexing reaction of 4-amino-5-hydroxy naphthalene sulfonic acid with para methoxy cinnamic acid, this produced and described chemical was employed as ligand to prepare tri and di-organotin complexes by condensation reaction with the salts of organotin chloride (phenyl, butyl, and methyl tin chloride). Specialized methods, including elemental analysis, (tin and proton) magnetic resonance, and infrared spectra, were used to identify the complexes. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and CUPRAC (Cupric Reducing Antioxidant Capacity) are both commonly used methods for measuring antioxidant capacity in various samples. Due to the tin moiety, the produced tri and di-tin complexes gave higher percentage inhibition than the ligand in both techniques; also, the triphenyltin complex performed the best when compared to the others. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the understanding of the structure-activity relationship of organotin complexes and their potential as antioxidants, which may have implications for developing novel therapeutic agents with antioxidant properties.
