In vitro cytotoxicities of ionic liquids: Effect of cation rings, functional groups, and anions

Abstract

In vitro cytotoxicities were measured for ionic liquids (ILs) containing various cations and anions using the MCF7 human breast cancer cell line. We measured the cytotoxicities of ionic liquids containing the cations pyridinium, pyrrolidinium, piperidinium, or imidazolium with various alkyl chain lengths, and the anions bromide, bis(trifluoromethanesulfone)imide (Tf 2 N), trifluoromethylsulfonate (TfO), or nonafluoromethylsulfonate (NfO). Three new hydrophobic, task‐specific ionic liquids (TSILs), namely, [MBCNPip]+[Tf 2 N]−, [MPS 2 Pip]+[Tf 2 N]−, and [MPS 2 Pyrro]+[Tf 2 N]− designed for metal‐ion extraction were also evaluated. IC 50 values of the ionic liquids toward the MCF7 cells ranged from 8 μM to 44 mM. The toxicity depended significantly on the nature of the cations and anions, especially when the cations contained a long side chain. TSILs studied in this work were less toxic than the classical ILs. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol, 2009.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
