[0020] Table 1 shows the elemental analysis results of the complex ClRh in the examples.

[0021] Therefore, the structural formula of the obtained complex ClRh can be determined as follows:

[0022] To fully illustrate the use of the complex ClRh described in this invention in pharmaceutical applications, the applicant conducted antitumor activity experiments on it.

[0023] I. Experiment on the inhibitory activity of one complex ClRh on the proliferation of two human cell lines 1. Cell lines and cell culture This experiment used two human cell lines: human lung cancer cell line A549, cisplatin-resistant lung cancer cell line A549 / DDP, and normal human liver cell line HL-7702.

[0024] All human cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 100 U / mL penicillin, 10 wt% fetal blood, and 100 U / mL streptomycin, and incubated at 37°C in an incubator containing 5% CO2 by volume.

[0025] 2. Preparation of the test compound All compounds used must have a purity of ≥95.0%. Their DMSO stock solutions were diluted with physiological buffer to a final solution of 20.0 µmol / L (final DMSO concentration ≤1.0%), and the inhibitory effect of each compound on the growth of normal cells or selected tumor cells at this concentration was tested.

[0026] 3. Cell growth inhibition experiment Take 100 μL of logarithmic phase cell suspension (5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL) 4 Add the compound (at a concentration of 10 cells / mL) to a 96-well cell culture plate and incubate for 24.0 h. Then, add final concentrations of 0, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, and 50.0 μM, respectively, with six replicates for each concentration. After adding the drug, incubate for 48 h. Subsequently, add 10 μL of CCK-8 staining solution to each well and incubate for 2 h. Mix well on a shaker, and after 10 min, measure the OD value (λ=450nm) of each well using a microplate reader. Calculate the inhibitory rate of the compound on cells, and then calculate the IC50 of each compound on the selected cells using the Bliss assay. 50 Values. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0027] Table 2. IC50 of complex ClRh for various cell lines 50 Value (µM)

[0028] From IC 50The activity screening results showed that the rhodium complex ClRh had a good inhibitory effect on A549 and A549 / DDP cancer cells, especially on A549 / DDP cancer cells, where the effect was most significant, with an IC50 of 100%. 50 The concentration was 2.64 ± 0.10 μM, indicating that its anticancer activity was significantly greater than that of the ligand H-ClQ (>50.00 μM), the rhodium salt η5-Cpa (>50.00 μM), and the clinical drug cisplatin (>50.00 μM). The study also found that ClRh exhibited minimal toxicity to normal HL-7702 cells (>50.00 μM), suggesting that the 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline rhodium complex ClRh can target and inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells A549 and cisplatin-resistant lung cancer cells A549 / DDP.

[0029] II. In vivo tumor suppression experiment in tumor-bearing nude mice The lung cancer tumor tissue was cut into 1.5 mm pieces. 3 Small pieces were inoculated subcutaneously into the right axilla of nude mice using a cannula. The diameter of the transplanted tumor was measured with electronic calipers. The tumor volume was monitored until it reached 100-200 mm. 3 Animals were randomly divided into two groups: a solvent group and a drug-treated group, with six animals in each group. Intraperitoneal injection of the compound was administered on the day of grouping, with the compound administered every two days. Tumor diameter and body weight were measured every three days using electronic calipers. On day 21, animals were euthanized by cervical dislocation, the tumor was dissected, weighed, photographed, and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated.

[0030] Tumor volume calculation formula: V = a × b 2 / 2, where a is the major axis and b is the minor axis; Relative tumor volume RTV = V t / V0, where V t V0 represents the volume at each measurement, and V0 represents the volume when grouping. Relative tumor proliferation rate T / C% = (T RTV / C RTV ) × 100%; Tumor growth inhibition rate (%) = (average tumor weight in the solvent group - average tumor weight in the treatment group) / average tumor weight in the solvent group × 100%.

[0031] Table 3. In vivo antitumor effect of rhodium complex ClRh on nude mice bearing human lung cancer A549 tumors.

[0032] Table 3 shows that in vivo tumor inhibition experiments have a significant inhibitory effect on A549 lung cancer tumors in nude mice, with an in vivo inhibition rate of 49.2%, and it is expected to be used in the preparation of various anti-tumor drugs.

[0033] In summary, the 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline rhodium complex ClRh described in this invention exhibits superior in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity, has potential pharmaceutical value, and is expected to be used in the preparation of various antitumor drugs.
