Abstract
The synthesis of the novel anthraquinone platinum derivate [Pt(ppy)Cl(1C3)] (2) [Hppy = N,C-chelating 2-phenylpyridine; 1C3 = 1-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]-anthracene-9,10-dione] and its values of IC(50) against a panel of human tumor cell lines representative of ovarian (A2780 and A2780cisR) and breast cancers (T47D) are reported. At 24 h incubation time, complex 2 was more active than cisplatin (about 9-fold) and the free ligand 1C3 (about 2-fold) in T47-D. The observation that the cisplatin IC(50) falls by about 10-fold from 24 to 72 h, whereas that for 2 changes little, suggests substantial differences in the mode of action. Complex 2 also showed high cytotoxicity against A2780 (about 3-fold greater than cisplatin at 24 h). On the other hand, very low resistance factors (RF) of 2 in A2780cisR at 24-72 h (RF = 1.3) were observed. The interaction of 2 with DNA was followed by electrophoretic mobility and UV-visible spectroscopy, and its reaction with the model nucleobase 9-EtG was studied by (1)H NMR and ESI-MS. Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/def2-TZVPP//BP86/def2-TZVP level of theory on complex 2 show a labile Pt-Cl bond that allows easy replacement of Cl by N-nucleophiles such as 9-EtG, which forms a stronger Pt-N bond.
In Vitro StudyThe novel anthraquinone platinum derivate shows high antiproliferative activity against ovarian and breast cancer cell lines, with potential for use in targeted therapy.
