Tri-butyltin(IV)phenoxyacetohydroxamate: Synthesis, characterization, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies

The tri-organotin(IV) complex of composition [n-Bu3Sn(C6H5OCH2CONHO)] has been synthesized by using Bu3SnCl and potassium phenoxyacetohydroxamate ligand (KPAH) in pre-determined molar ratio of methanol and tetrahydrofuran. These are characterized by spectral techniques like FTIR, (1) H NMR and mass spectrometry. Studies on electrochemical processes are carried out using cyclic voltammetry. The in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities performed by using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method has revealed complex as biologically active. Molecular docking of the ligand and complex has been performed against the fungal receptor (PDB ID: 1UKC) to study the interactions between compound and receptor.
