(1), {[}Ti\{Me2C(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)\}Cl-2] (2), {[}Ti

(5) and {[}Ti\{MePhSi(eta(5)-C5Me4)(2)\}Cl-2] (6) have been prepared
following reported procedures. The novel complex
{[}Ti\{MePhC(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)\}Cl-2] (3) has been prepared and
characterized. The cytotoxic activity of 1-6 has been tested after 72 h
on melanoma A375 and B16, prostate cancer DU145 and LNCaP and colon
cancer HCT116, SW620 and CT26CL25 cell lines observing a high cytotoxic
activity of complexes 1 and 6 compared to the reference compound
({[}Ti(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)\}Cl-2]). 1 and 6 have also been tested against
primary normal mouse keratinocytes and lung fibroblasts. While viability
of both type of primary cells was significantly less affected by 1 in
comparison to the reference compound {[}Ti(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)Cl-2],
compound 6 was completely nontoxic for nonmalignant cells, indicating a
potential selectivity of this compound towards cancer cell lines. In
addition CFSE staining, cell cycle analysis, AnnexinV-FITC/PI staining,
detection of caspase activity and mitochondrial potential showed that 1
and 6 were acting through inhibition of proliferation and subsequent
induction of mitochondrial dependent apoptosis in colon cancer cell
lines, HCT116 and SW620, which express low sensitivity to cisplatin.
Compound 6 was found to be the leading drug in this group since it shows
the fastest and most selective anticancer profile. (C) 2013 Elsevier
