ABSTRACT
Novel dicationic pyridinium ionic liquids tethering amphiphilic long alkyl side chains and fluorinated counter anions have been successfully synthesized by means of the quaternization of the dipyridinium hydrazone through its alkylation with different alkyl halides. The resulting halogenated di-ionic liquids underwent a metathesis reaction in order to incorporate some fluorinated counter anions in their structures. The structures of all the resulting di-ionic liquids were characterized by several spectroscopic experiments. The antitumorigenic activities of the investigated compounds were further studied against three different human lung cancer cell lines. Compared to the standard chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin, the synthesized di-ionic liquids exerted equal, even more active, moderate, or weak anticancer activities against the various lung cancer cell lines under investigation. The observed anticancer activity appears to be enhanced by increasing the length of the aliphatic side chains. Moreover, dicationic pyridinium bearing a nine carbon chain as counter cation and hexafluoro phosphate and/or tetrafluoro bororate as counter anion were selected for further evaluation and demonstrated effective and significant antimetastatic effects and suppressed the colonization ability of the lung cancer cells, suggesting a therapeutic potential for the synthesized compounds in lung cancer treatment.
