Synthesis and characterization of novel organotin monomers and copolymers and their antibacterial activity

Abstract

Two novel organotin monomers, (N-tri-n-butyltin) maleimide and m-acryloylamino-(tri-n-butyltin benzoate), were synthesized. Copolymerization of these two monomers with styrene was carried out in the bulk at 65°C using asobisisobutyronitrile as the free radical initiator. The monomers and copolymers were characterized by elemental analysis; the molecular weights of the copolymers were determined by GPC, solubility, IR, and 1 H-NMR spectral studies. The antibacterial activities of the synthesized organotin monomers and copolymers toward various types of bacteria were also reported.

Antibacterial non-woven nanofibers of curcumin acrylate oligomers

“…13 Encapsulation of CUR in various polymeric materials for drug delivery applications have been reported. 24 The second method is the conjugation of the antimicrobial agent to a pre-formed polymer. 19 Antimicrobial agents are being used to meet the problems associated with the contamination of microorganisms in various areas (biomaterials, water purification systems, food materials, sanitation, etc.).…”

Dialkyltin(IV)bis(O–tolyl/benzyldithiocarbonate) complexes: Spectroscopic, thermogravemetric, antifungal and crystal analysis of n–Bu2Sn(S2COCH2C6H5)2

“…12 A remarkable but little known fact about tin is to save energy and reduce emissions when added to fuel 13 and are effective premixed methane flame inhibitors. 14 Over the years, a variety of uses have been found for organic and inorganic tin compounds as fungicides, 15 moluscicides 16 and stabilizers in plastics. 17 The organotin complexes exhibit a wide range of biological activities [18][19][20] including the inhibition of a wide variety of cancer cell lines including cell lines associated with ovarian, colon, lung, prostrate, pancreatic and breast cancer.…”

Synthesis and characterization of novel organotin carboxylate maleimide monomers and copolymers

“…Acrylic copolymers with pendant organotin carboxylate moieties have found wide-spread applications as antifouling agents [12][13][14] and fungicides [15]. Two types of organotin maleimide derivatives have been prepared and their biological activity was investigated [16,17]. The present investigation deals with synthesis and characterization of new maleimide monomers containing tributyltin carboxylate units linked to the aromatic ring or aliphatic rest, and their copolymers with styrene.…”
