Abstract

It has been shown that the introduction of a methyl group at position 4 of the quinoline ring in metal 8-quinolinethiolates brings about a significant  increase  in the selectivity of their cytotoxic activity. It was found that rhodium 4-methyl-8-quinolinethiolate is 46 times less toxic than  the  unsubstituted 8-quinolinethiolate but with comparable toxicity towards MG-22A tumor cells (LC50 2 µg/ml).
