1. Introduction
Phosphonium salts (QPSs) are organoelement compounds of importance in chemistry, pharmacology, biochemistry, etc. [1,2,3,4]. QPSs are used as organocatalysts in the reactions of C–C bond formation, annulation, etc., as a Lewis acid in organic synthesis [5].
Penetration of QPSs across biological membranes is one of the important properties of these compounds. Their high hydrophobicity and delocalized positive charge on the phosphorus atom lead to the tendency to accumulate in areas with a high membrane potential. Therefore, QPSs are actively used for the mitochondria targeted drug delivery [6,7,8,9,10,11]. Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the key pathogenetic links in many diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular and neurological disorders [12]. In this respect, in recent decades, the mitochondria-oriented approach has been intensively studied for the treatment of metabolic and degenerative diseases [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. QPSs play a key role in implementation of this approach. Moreover, anti-cancer drug functionalized with triarylphosphonium groups provides an expanding spectrum of biological activity and shows effectiveness in the case of the resistant cells and pathogenic microorganisms [21]. This is clearly demonstrated by numerous examples: QPS-derivatives of chlorambucil [22], paclitaxel [23], doxorubicin [24], and metformin [25]. Incorporation of QPS into antibiotic molecules such as ciprofloxacin [26,27], azithromycin [28,29], doxycycline [28,29] significantly improves the antibacterial activity of doxycycline against Gram-positive bacteria. Azithromycin and doxycycline can also be considered as anti-tumor agents.
It is important to note that phosphonium groups should be considered not only as vector fragments in drug conjugations, but also as a pharmacophore [30,31]. This is especially shown in inhibition of respiratory chain complexes [32,33], Krebs cycle enzymes [34].
Creation of effective targeting drug delivery systems to organs and tissues is a topic of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. [35]. QPS-modified delivery systems exhibit improved cellular uptake and selective targeting to mitochondria. This leads to inhibition of P-glycoprotein and suppression of drug resistance and cancer metastasis. [36]. Similar actions were obtained with QPS-modified glycol-chitosan polymer microspheres [37] and QPS-functionalized epigallocatechin gallate capped gold nanoparticles [38].
The functionalized QPS-target compound’s efficiency largely depends on the structure, in particular on the functional environment. Undoubtedly, identification of the new vector systems containing a linker part for the lipophilicity correction and conformational rigidity of molecule is urgent. The most widespread conjugate formation is the linker approach supposing a spatial differentiation of the lipophilic triarylphosphonium group and an active moiety of conjugate. To implement this approach, synthesis of the functionally substituted QPSs bearing carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amino groups as an additional function was developed (Scheme 1). Due to the presence of these groups, functionally substituted QPSs can be easily conjugated to the corresponding functional groups of target drugs (hydroxyl and carboxyl) since esterification reactions and amide bond formation are the most developed processes in organic chemistry. This approach is the most gentle and rational way. The second approach is the esterification of drugs containing a carboxyl group with terminal bromo (iodine) alkanols with follow reaction with triphenylphosphine (Scheme 2). This approach is less convenient, especially when the parent drug contains other functional groups that can react with triphenylphosphine.
Currently, the most commonly used functionally substituted QPSs contain compounds with a carboxyl (I), hydroxyl (II), or amino (III) groups in the alkyl substituent of phosphorus atom (Scheme 3).
The most common method for the QPSs (I) synthesis is alkylation of triarylphosphines with halogenated carboxylic acids (Scheme 4a). This reaction is carried out both without a solvent and in various mediums (THF, benzene, xylene, acetonitrile, etc.). QPSs were obtained using this method from triphenylphosphine for n = 1 [39,40], 2 [39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59], 3 [39,40,45,47,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70], 4 [40,44,47,62,65,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84], 5 [45,55,61,62,65,67,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102], 6 [44,47,50,58,62,87,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114], 7 [47,62,86,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122], 8 [44,55,62,89,120,123,124,125,126,127,128], 9 [62,65,72,86,126,129,130,131], 10 [45,55,62,68,109,125,129,132,133,134,135], 11 [45,47,86,89,119], 12 [45,133], 15 [136]. Salts for n = 2 were obtained from tri(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine, tri(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine, and bromopropionic acid [137,138]. The second approach is the addition of triphenylphosphine to unsaturated carboxylic acids (Scheme 4b) followed by treatment with gaseous or concentrated HCl or HBr [139,140]. It should be mentioned the reactions of lactones with triphenylphosphine in the presence of hydrohalic acid (Scheme 4a) [141,142,143].
QPSs containing a hydroxyl group (II) are mainly obtained by the reaction of terminal halogen alkanols with triphenylphosphine (Scheme 4c) (for an overview, see [144]). The corresponding bromine(iodine) alkanols are usually heated with triphenylphosphine in acetonitrile. This method was used to obtain phosphonium salts for n = 2 [47,145], 3 [40,47,100,146,147], 4 [47], 5 [47,148], 6 [47,149,150,151,152,153,154], 7 [148,155], 8 [148,156,157], 9 [156,158,159,160], 10 [156,157,161,162,163,164,165], 11 [156,157,162,165], 12 [151,157,159], 13 [166], 14 [167].
Phosphonium salts with amino group (III) were obtained by reactions of corresponding terminal bromoamines with triarylphosphines, for example, for n = 2 [40,47], 3 [54,142].
This work proposes an efficient and versatile approach for the preparation of 2-hydroxypropylphosphonium salts containing various additional functional substituents (halogens, alkoxy, acyloxy). The approach is based on reaction of oxiranes with triphenylphosphonium triflate. These compounds display anti-tumor activity. To improve the bioavailability and cellular uptake of obtained functionalized phosphonium salts, the nanotechnology-based approach was developed. For this purpose, phosphonium salt-modified liposomal delivery systems based on L-α-phosphatidylcholine were prepared. The incorporation of phosphorus-containing pharmacophore/vector amphiphils into liposomal membrane provides an ability to trap drugs effectively and prevent their leakage as well as rapid release from liposomes.
2. Results and Discussion
2.1. Chemistry
2.1.1. Reaction of Triphenylphosphonium Triflate with Halomethyloxiranes
As a rule, the interaction of oxiranes with triarylphosphines is carried out under hard conditions and often leads to the dimerization and partial polymerization of oxirane. Thus, the reaction of triphenylphosphine with epichlorohydrin, recently studied in [168], leads to the oxirane dimerization into a dioxane structure ((1,4-dioxane-2,5-diyl)-bis(methylene))-bis(triphenylphosphonium)chloride. The opening of oxirane ring with the formation of triaryl (2-hydroxyalkyl) phosphonium salts occurs in the presence of acids in neutral solvents (alcohols, dichloromethane) [169,170,171,172,173] or during the triarylphosphine reaction in phenol used as the solvent [174].
In our work, this approach was applied to a wide range of new oxiranes using the most convenient and stable triphenylphosphonium triflate (1). This compound was easily obtained by mixing triphenylphosphine with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in dichloromethane [170,173,175]. The signal in the 31P NMR spectrum of this compound strongly depends on the ratio of reagents. The signal of phosphonium salt 1 appears as a broadened singlet with a slight excess of triphenylphosphine. This signal shifts towards strong fields with an increase in the triphenylphosphine proportion. This is due to the exchange between triphenylphosphine and salt 1. The salt signal appears as a doublet (δP 4.0 ppm, 1JHP 532 Hz) at the exact ratio of the starting compounds [175].
The reaction of halomethyloxiranes 2a–e with compound 1 occurs under mild conditions (−10 °C) with regioselective opening of three-membered ring at the O1–C3 bond in accordance with Krasusky’s rule for opening epoxides under neutral conditions [176,177,178] and the formation of triphenylphosphonium triflates 3a–e. Despite protonation of oxygen, which often leads to initial opening of oxirane at the O1–C2 bond and carbocation formation (SN1 mechanism). In our case, the mechanism of SN2 nucleophilic substitution at the C3 atom was realized precisely in the protonated form of oxirane (structure A, Scheme 5). This is consistent with the data of work [174]: The inversion of the configuration of corresponding chiral carbon atom (C3) proceeds under the action of triphenylphosphine in neutral conditions [176,177,178].
The use of optically active chloromethyloxiranes 2e (R and S) in this reaction led to the formation of salts 3e with the retained configuration of the C2 atom (R and S). Even in a strongly acidic environment, the nucleophilic attack of triphenylphosphine on the C2 atom is more preferable than the preliminary electrophilic opening of oxirane. QPS structures were confirmed by NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry. The characteristic values of chemical shifts and spin–spin coupling constants for sp2-carbons of phenyl substituents at phosphorus are observed in the 13C NMR spectra of salts 3, completely consistent with QPS structures [179]. The structure of all compounds, including optically active derivatives 3e, R and 3e, S was proven by XRD. Chiral derivatives 3e, R and 3e, S form enantiomeric crystals in the polar space group P21 with two independent molecules (formula units). Since the conformation of independent cations and anions is the same, therefore, one independent pair of anion–cation is shown in Figure 1.
An unexpected result was obtained in the study of 3a crystals synthesized from racemic epichlorohydrin. As in crystals of optically active compounds, racemic product 3a was crystallized in the same polar space group P21 with two independent molecules A and B (formula units). In this case, crystal cell parameters of 3a are different from those of crystals 3e, R and 3e, S. The hydroxyl substituent at the C2 atom in one of independent molecules was disordered over two positions (Figure 2) with almost equal occupancy (0.48 and 0.52, respectively). This means that enantiomeric molecules with both R- and S-configurations of the C2 atom were localized in the position of an independent molecule B.
Crystals of 3a are non-racemic. They have a ratio of enantiomeric molecules equal to 3:1. Since the substance is racemic in the mass, it should contain an equal ratio of isostructural enantiomeric crystals [R/S = 3/1 и R/S = 1/3]. Crystals of this type are called anomalous conglomerates.
Racemic compounds 3b–d crystallize in isostructural centrosymmetric crystals in the space group P21/n with one independent formula unit. The molecular geometry of 3b–d are shown in Figures S1–S3.
In this case, the unit cell volume of the crystals of this group has a similar value. It should be noted that the hydrogen bonds of hydroxyl group in enantiopure crystals 3e are formed with two oxygen atoms of triflate anion. One of independent molecules forms H-bonds with two oxygen atoms and one fluorine atom in crystal 3a and the second molecule (with a disordered hydroxyl group) forms with only one oxygen atom (Figure 2). H-bonds are formed only with one oxygen atom and one fluorine atom in centrosymmetric crystals 3b–d. Hydrogen bonds are formed only between the anion and the cation (0D-motive of hydrogen bonds) in both centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmetric crystals. Perhaps a formation of hydrogen bonds of cation with various atoms of anion leads to some differences in the compound packing of this group in crystals. The result is the formation of centrosymmetric and non-centrosymmetric crystals.
The molecule geometric parameters of 3a–d are the same within experimental errors and correspond to the bond lengths and angles in similar organic compound fragments and triflate anion. Crystal packing of this group is given by dispersion interactions, while π–stacking interactions between benzene rings were not observed.
2.1.2. Reaction of Triphenylphosphonium Triflate with Alkyl- and Acyl Glycidyl Ether
The reaction of alkyl- and acylglycidyl ethers 2f–l with triphenylphosphonium triflate was carried out under mild conditions, with a high regioselectivity, and led to the formation of 3-alkoxy(acyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyltriphenylphosphonium triflates 3f–l (Scheme 6) with almost quantitative yields.
The structures of all compounds were confirmed by NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry. Compounds 3h, k, l are thick oils, and other phosphonium salts are crystalline substances. The structures of salts 3f, g, i, j were proven by XRD. The molecule geometries in the crystal are shown in Figures S4–S7. The phosphorus atom has a distorted tetrahedral configuration both in salt molecules 3a–e and in compounds 3f, g, i, j. Unlike the former, the crystals of racemic compounds 3f, g, i, j are not isostructural. Crystals 3g and 3h are non-centrosymmetric, and their space groups are nonpolar (Pn and Cc). Taking into account unit cells parameters of 3f and 3g it was assumed that they are isostructural. The methoxy derivative 3f crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n. Compound 3g crystallizes in the Pn group with two independent molecules per unit cell.
For crystals of all these compounds, hydrogen bonds are formed only between the anion and the cation (0D-motive hydrogen bonds).
2.1.3. Synthesis of 3-Alkoxy(Iodo)-2-hydroxypropyl Triphenylphosphonium Iodides
To obtain 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxypropyltriphenylphosphonium iodides, a two-stage approach was applied starting from epichlorohydrin (Scheme 7). Epichlorohydrin was disclosed with the corresponding alcohol in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate, according to [180]. The obtained 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxy-1-chloropropanes 5 were purified by distillation in vacuo. Then the Finkelstein reaction was carried out with sodium iodide in acetonitrile in the presence of dibenzo-18-crown-6 as a catalyst. The process was monitored by TLC and 1H NMR. Target phosphonium salts 4 were formed by heating the obtained 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxy-1-iodopropanes 6 with triphenylphosphine in acetonitrile in high yields.
The structure of compounds 4a–d was proven by NMR and IR, and the structure of phosphonium salt 4a also by XRD. Molecule geometry 4a in the crystal is shown in Figure S8. It is interesting to note that Finkelstein’s reaction with compound 3a led to the formation of two phosphonium salts—2-hydroxy-3-iodotriphenylphosphonium triflate 3d and iodide 7 (Scheme 8). The obtained salts were isolated and purified by colomn chromqatography. The structure of salt 7 was proven by NMR and XRD (Figure S9).
Some regularities in the spatial structure of investigated 12 compounds were formulated. The conformation and geometry of isopropanoltriphenylphosphonium cations in crystals is the same. The propanol fragment has a transoidal conformation (the P–C1–C2–C3 torsion angles are close to 180°). Hydroxyl groups of cations form hydrogen bonds with triflate or iodide anions. Closed 0D-hydrogen bond motifs were formed. Crystals of studied compounds are formed due to conventional dispersion interactions, while π–stacking interactions between benzene rings were not observed. All interplanar distances were more than 3.2 Å. Distances between the benzene rings were more than 5 Å. Bi- and trifurcate hydrogen bonds with two oxygen atoms and one fluorine atom of anion were observed in crystals with triflate anions. The increase in the ellipsoid size of anisotropic displacements of oxygen atoms can be explained by the “switching” of hydrogen bond from one oxygen atom to another (disorder of hydrogen bond).
2.1.4. Liposomal Systems Based on Amphiphilic Triflates of Acyloxypropylphosphonium and L-α-Phosphatidylcholine
The creation of drug and gene delivery nanosystems is one of innovative approaches in cancer treatment. Liposomal systems have been applied in clinical studies [181,182]. Since the first liposomal product Doxil®, anticancer drugs such as DaunoXome®, Depocyt®, Myocet®, Mepact®, Marqibo®, and Onivyde™ have been successfully created [183,184,185]. The range of liposomal preparations is constantly expanding. Nanocarriers improve bioavailability and ensure targeted drug transport, selective targeting of cancer cells, and controlled drug release [186]. To improve the stability of the liposome systems and to protect against capture by the immune system cells, liposomes were modified by the ionic or non-ionic surfactants and/or polymers incorporation into phospholipid membrane [187].
Liposomes were modified with synthetic amphiphiles 3k and 3l. Characteristics of obtained liposomal formulations—hydrodynamic diameter (Zaverage, (nm)), zeta potential (Z, mV), polydispersity index (PdI), encapsulation efficiency (EE, %), and loading capacity (LC, %)—are presented in Table 1. The fluorescent dye Rhodamine B was selected as a model drug.
The liposome size was about 100 nm, and the zeta potential of particles was +22.6 ± 2 and +6.1 ± 0.1 mV for the PC/3k and PC/3l formulations, respectively. The surface charge of liposomes increased when liposomes were modified with phosphorus-containing amphiphiles 3k and 3l. This indicates incorporation of 3k and 3l into liposome membrane. Incorporation of ionic surfactants into liposomes was investigated [189]. All liposome formulations showed a low polydispersity index below 0.2. Varying the percentage of PC/amphiphiles, namely, increasing amphiphile 3k and 3l content from 2 to 10% (wt.), was carried out. The zeta potential of nanoparticles increased from +23 to +46 mV upon increasing the content of 3k from 2% to 10% (wt.) for the PC/3k system. In the case of liposomal formulation PC/3l, the zeta potential increased from +6 to +8 mV. The charge of liposomal formulations depended both on the phosphorus-containing amphiphile content and on alkyl chain length. Most likely, this difference was associated with the amphiphiles penetration depth into the liposomal membrane, the level of incorporation into the double phospholipid bilayer, and the solubility of both amphiphiles [190]. There was a slight increase in the polydispersity when the model drug rhodamine B was encapsulated, but the polydispersity index did not exceed 0.2. The zeta potential of the PC/3l liposomal systems increased both in the presence of rhodamine B and with an increase (3l) content in formulation from +20.5 ± 2 to +26 ± 1 mV. The encapsulation efficiency of rhodamine was high, about 87%. EE increased to 93% with the growing amphiphile amount in the liposomal membrane. This increase may be related to stabilization of the liposomal membrane. All samples were stored in fridge (at 4 °C) in hermetically closed glass containers (to prevent from humidity during storage) for colloid stability studies upon three months. During the storage of 3 months, the characteristics of liposomes did not change, except for formulation PC/3l (with ratio 90/10, %w/w). It may be stated that 3k and 3l have a stabilizing effect on liposomes. The optimum concentration of 3k and 3l was observed. 3k and 3l nanoparticles and mixed self-assembles with PC formation were possible at high concentrations of 3k and 3l amphiphiles afer long storage.
UV spectra (A) and rhodamine B release profile (B) within time in the absence of nanoparticles (1) and encapsulated in liposomes (2–5) are shown in Figure 3. Rhodamine B (50%) was released from liposomes much slower (4 h) than in the case of aqueous solution (within 20 min). It should be noted that the release slowdown occurred in the case of liposome modified with amphiphil 3l. This confirmed the improved stabilization of liposomal systems by amphiphil 3l.
2.2. Biology
2.2.1. Cytotoxicity
Cytotoxicity against cancer and normal cell lines was tested for synthesized phosphonium salts. The cytotoxic activity is represented by IC50 values (the compound concentration that causes the death of 50% of cells in the experimental cell population) in Table 2.
The studied phosphonium salts showed high and moderate cytotoxicity against some cancer lines and moderate activity against normal lung embryo cells. The most significant results were obtained for the duodenal adenocarcinoma cell line (HuTu 80) and cell line PC3 (human prostate cancer). Compounds 3j and 4c showed anti-cancer activity against the HuTu 80 cell line comparable to doxorubicin activity. The 3j and 4c cytotoxic effect against the PC3 line was two times higher than doxorubicin. Phosphonium salts 3j and 4c awere the most active compounds against other human cancer lines, and the IC50 concentration values were in the range 1.1–3.7 μM.
Selectivity index (SI) was calculated to assess the cytotoxic effect as the ratio between the IC50 value for normal cells and the IC50 value for cancer cells (Table 2). All compounds showed the highest selectivity against HuTu 80 line. SI is 4–12.3. It should be noted that 4c has the highest SI equal to 12.3. Doxorubicin is significantly inferior to the leading compounds in selectivity.
The cytotoxic effect of liposome formulations PC/3k and PC/3l (with ratio 98/2, %w/w) in cancer cells and normal human cells was lower than for individual compounds 3k and 3l.
2.2.2. Induction of Apoptotic Effects by Lead Compounds
Apoptosis is one of the most significant mechanisms used for screening new anti-cancer agents. The apoptosis-inducing effect was carried out on lead compounds 3a, b, k, j and 4c showing high selectivity against HuTu-80 cells. The studies were carried out by flow cytometry at concentrations IC50/2 and IC50 (Figure 4). HuTu-80 cells actively induce apoptosis after 48-h incubation in the presence of 3a, b, k, j and 4c at concentrations IC50/2. The percentage of apoptotic cells in early and late phases was slightly changed with increase compound concentration up to IC50.
Apoptosis induction by 3a, b, k, j and 4c through the mitochondrial pathway and HuTu-80 cell line was studied by flow cytometry using the fluorescent dye JC-10 from the Mitochondria Membrane Potential Kit. JC-10 accumulated in the mitochondrial matrix and formed aggregates (J-aggregate) with red fluorescence in normal cells with a high mitochondrial membrane potential. The membrane potential decreased in apoptotic cells. JC-10 started to diffuse out from the mitochondria and converts to the monomeric form (J-monomer) and emits green fluorescence. This is recorded with a flow cytometer. A decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential of HuTu-80 cells occurs after treatment with 3a, b, k, j and 4c. The process became more pronounced with an increase of 3a, b, 3k, j and 4c concentrations up to IC50 (Figure 5 and Figure 6). The obtained results suggest that the mechanism of 3a, b, k, j and 4c cytotoxic action is due to apoptosis induction through the internal mitochondrial pathway.
Increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by compounds characterizes the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Mitochondria are a potential source and target of ROS. ROS lead to disruption of mitochondrial functions and, as a consequence, to irreversible cell damage. In this regard, the effect of test compounds in HuTu-80 cells on ROS production, using flow cytometry analysis and CellROX® Deep Red flow cytometry kit was investigated. Data presented in Figure 7 show a significant increase in CellROX® Deep Red fluorescence intensity. This indicates an increase in ROS production in the presence of the tested compounds. It should be noted that 3k, j and 4c were the most active to generate ROS in HuTu-80 cells as compared to 3a and 3b and control (untreated cells).

3.2.7. Preparation and Characterization Phosphorus-Containing Amphiphile Liposomes
Chemicals
L-α-phosphatidylcholine (PC) (Soy, 95%, Avanti polar lipids), rhodamine B (99%, ACROS Organics, NJ, USA), Ultra-purified water (18.2 MΩcm resistivity at 25 °C) was produced from Direct-Q 5 UV equipment (Millipore S.A.S. 67120 Molsheim, France). All reagents were used without further treatment.
Preparation and Characterization
L-α-phosphatidylcholine (PC) and 3k,l (5% w/w) were dissolved in 1 mL of ethanol. The homogeneous solution was kept in a water bath at 60 °C until alcohol evaporation to obtain a thin lipid film. Ultra-purified waterwas pre-heated to 60 °C and added to rehydrate the lipids at 60 °C in the absence or presence of Rhodamine B (0.1% w/w). The solution was stirred under magnetic stirring (750 rpm) (Heidolph, Germany) for 30 min at the same temperature. Then the solution was kept for 1.5 h in a water bath at 37 °C. The multilamellar liposomes were extruded 15 times by passage through a polycarbonate membrane of 100 nm pore size (Mini-Extruder Extrusion Technique, Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc., Birmingham, AL, USA).
The mean particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS), using a Malvern Instrument Zetasizer Nano (Malvern, Worcestershire, UK) and Litesizer 500 Anton Paar (Anto Paar Graz, Graz, Austria). The size (hydrodynamic diameter, nm) was calculated according to the Einstein–Stokes relationship D = kBT/3πηx, in which D is the diffusion coefficient, kB is the Boltzmann’s constant, T is the absolute temperature, η is the viscosity, and x is the hydrodynamic diameter of the nanoparticles. The diffusion coefficient was determined at least in triplicate for each sample. The average error of the measurements was approximately 10%. All samples were diluted (20 times)with ultra-purified water to a suitable concentration (2.5 mg/mL) and analyzed in triplicate.
In Vitro Rhodamine B Release Profile
The monitoring of rhodamine B release from liposomes was performed using the dialysis bag diffusion method. Dialysis bags retain liposomes and allow the released rhodamine B to diffuse into the medium. The bags were soaked in Milli-Q water for 12 h before use. Then, 0.4 mL of liposomes were poured into the dialysis bag. The two bag ends were sealed with clamps. The bags were then placed in a vessel containing 100 mL of 0.025 M sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.4, the receiving phase. The vessel was placed in a thermostatic shaker (New Brunswick, NJ, USA) at 37 °C, under a stirring rate of 150 rpm. At predetermined time intervals, 0.5 mL of samples were withdrawn, and their absorbance at 554 nm was measured using Perkin Elmer λ35 (Perkin Elmer Instruments, Norwalk, CT, USA). All samples were analyzed in triplicate. The extinction coefficient of rhodamine B is 106,089 M−1 cm−1 at pH = 7.4.
Encapsulation Efficiency and Loading Capacity
Encapsulation efficiency (EE, %) and loading capacity (LC, %) were assessed for samples containing rhodamine B. These parameters were determined indirectly by filtration/centrifugation technique, measuring free rhodamine B (non-encapsulated) by spectrophotometry. A volume of 50 µL of each rhodamine B-loaded liposomes was placed in centrifugal filter devices Nanosep centrifugal device 3K Omega (Pall Corporation) to separate lipid and aqueous phases and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 30 min using centrifuge MiniSpin plus (Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany). Free rhodamine B was quantified by UV absorbance using PerkinElmer λ35 (Perkin Elmer Instruments, Waltham, MA, USA) at 554 nm (ε = 106,089 M−1 cm−1 in 0.0025 M phosphate buffer at pH = 7.4). The encapsulation parameters were calculated against appropriate calibration curve, using the following equation:

3.3.1. Cell Toxicity Assay (MTT-Test)
The toxic effect on cells was determined using the colorimetric method of cell proliferation MTT (Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide, Sigma). For this, 10 μL of MTT reagent in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) (final concentration 0.5 mg/mL) was added to each well. The plates were incubated at 37 °C for 2–3 h in an atmosphere humidified with 5% CO2. Absorbance was recorded at 540 nm using an Invitrologic microplate reader (Russia). Experiments for all compounds were repeated three times. The M-HeLa clone 11 human, epithelioid cervical carcinoma, strain of HeLa, clone of M– HeLa; human alveolar adenocarcinoma cells (A549); human duodenal cancer cell line (HuTu 80); human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7); glioblastoma cell line (T98G); Wi-38 VA-13 cell culture, subline 2RA (human embryonic lung) from the Type Culture Collection of the Institute of Cytology (Russian Academy of Sciences) and PC-3 human Caucasian prostate adenocarcinoma from Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were used in the experiments. The cells were cultured on a standard nutrient medium “Igla” produced by the Moscow Institute of Poliomyelitis and Viral Encephalitis. M.P.Chumakov by PanEco with the addition of 10% fetal calf serum and 1% nonessential amino acids (NEAA).
The cells were sown on a 96-well panel from Eppendorf at a concentration of 5 × 103 cells per well in a volume of 100 μL of medium and cultured in a CO2 incubator at 37 °C. In 48 h after planting the cells, the culture medium was taken into the wells, and 100 μL of solutions of the studied drug in the specified dilutions were added to the wells. Dilutions of the compounds were prepared directly in growth medium supplemented with 5% DMSO to improve solubility. The cytotoxic effect of the test compounds was determined at concentrations of 0.1–100 μM. The calculation of the IC50, the concentration of the drug causing inhibition of cell growth by 50%, was performed using the program: MLA−“Quest Graph ™ IC50 Calculator.” AAT Bioquest, Inc.,
3.3.2. Induction of Apoptotic Effects by Test Compounds (Flow Cytometry Assay)
Cell Culture
HuTu 80 cells at 1 × 106 cells/well in a final volume of 2 mL were seeded into six-well plates. After 48 h of incubation, various concentrations of compounds 3a,b and 3k were added to wells.
Cell Apoptosis Analysis
The cells were harvested at 2000 rpm for 5 min and, then, washed twice with ice-cold PBS, followed by resuspension in binding buffer. Next, the samples were incubated with 5 μL of annexin V-Alexa Fluor 647 (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 5 μL of propidium iodide for 15 min at room temperature in the dark. Finally, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Guava easy Cyte, MERCK, Rahway, NJ, USA) within 1 h. The experiments were repeated three times.
Mitochondrial Membrane Potential
Cells were harvested at 2000 rpm for 5 min and then washed twice with ice-cold PBS, followed by resuspension in JC-10 (10 µg/mL) and incubation at 37 °C for 10 min. After the cells were rinsed three times and suspended in PBS, the JC-10 fluorescence was observed by flow cytometry (Guava easy Cyte, MERCK, NJ, USA).
Detection of Intracellular ROS
HuTu 80 cells were incubated with compounds 3a,b and 3k at concentrations of IC50/2 and IC50 for 48 h. ROS generation was investigated using flow cytometry assay and CellROX® Deep Red flow cytometry kit. For this HuTu 80 cells were harvested at 2000 rpm for 5 min and then washed twice with ice-cold PBS, followed by resuspension in 0.1 mL of medium without FBS, to which was added 0.2 μL of Cell ROX® Deep Red and incubated at 37 °C for 30 min After three times washing the cells and suspending them in PBS, the production of ROS in the cells was immediately monitored using flow cytometer Guava easy Cyte, MERCK, NJ, USA).
Statistical Analysis
The IC50 values were calculated using the online calculator MLA−Quest Graph™ IC50 Calculator AAT Bioquest, Inc., 25 June 2021. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann–Whitney test (p < 0.05). Tabular and graphical data contains averages and standard error.
4. Conclusions
A mild and effective approach to the synthesis of the functionally substituted (2-hydroxypropyl) triphenylphosphonium triflates is chemoselective reaction of triphenylphosphonium triflate with halomethyloxiranes and glycidyl ethers, proceeding by the SN2 mechanism. Another convenient method for the 3-alkoxy-(2-hydroxypropyl) triphenylphosphonium iodides synthesis is based on the reaction of 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxyiodopropane with triphenylphosphine. All molecular and crystal structures were corroborated by NMR and XRD.
All obtained phosphonium salts exhibit from moderate to high cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines M-HeLa, MCF-7, A549, HuTu-80, PC3, T98G. The cytotoxic activity of the most active compounds 3a, b, k, j and 4c is caused by the induction of apoptosis via the mitochondrial ROS pathway. Improving the bioavailability, cytotoxicity, stability, and reducing the toxicity of phosphonium salts was achieved by using a nanotechnological approach based on liposomal systems.
The development of functionalized 2-hydroxypropylphosphonium salts is promising for creation of the new effective mitochondria-targeted anticancer agents. The presence a hydroxyl group will allow further introduction of the additional pharmacophore fragments.

Abstract
It has been shown for a wide range of epoxy compounds that their interaction with triphenylphosphonium triflate occurs with a high chemoselectivity and leads to the formation of (2-hydroxypropyl)triphenylphosphonium triflates 3 substituted in the 3-position with an alkoxy, alkylcarboxyl group, or halogen, which were isolated in a high yield. Using the methodology for the disclosure of epichlorohydrin with alcohols in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate, followed by the substitution of iodine for chlorine and treatment with triphenylphosphine, 2-hydroxypropyltriphenylphosphonium iodides 4 were also obtained. The molecular and supramolecular structure of the obtained phosphonium salts was established, and their high antitumor activity was revealed in relation to duodenal adenocarcinoma. The formation of liposomal systems based on phosphonium salt 3 and L-α-phosphatidylcholine (PC) was employed for improving the bioavailability and reducing the toxicity. They were produced by the thin film rehydration method and exhibited cytotoxic properties. This rational design of phosphonium salts 3 and 4 has promising potential of new vectors for targeted delivery into mitochondria of tumor cells.
