Resumen:

In the present work, we report the toxic effect exerted on glioblastoma cells of rat (C6 line) by copper complexes released from a binary oxide (TiO2-SiO2=TISI). Individually, copper acetylacetonate and ammonium tetrachlorocuprate were added to the oxide during its synthesis procedure using the sol-gel methodology. Several physicochemical techniques were used to characterize the resulting materials. The cell viability was determined by the colorimetric MTT assay. The results of IR and UV-VIS spectroscopies indicate that copper complexes maintained their original structure after being loaded in the oxide. Cell viability results showed high cytotoxic effect of the copper complexes as well as those released from TISI. Pure TISI did not exert cytotoxicity to the C6 cells, indicating its high biocompatibility. Although, COS-7 cells are not cancer cells from the rat brain, these served to determine that a mitochondrial fragmentation (apoptosis) occurred when these cells were treated with Cu(acac)2-TISI during 12 h.
