Model platinum nucleobase and nucleoside complexes and antitumor activity: X-ray crystal structure of [PtIV(trans-1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane) trans-(acetate)2(9-ethylguanine)Cl]NO3·H 2O
Abstract
A series of platinum(II) and (IV) monoadducts of the type [Pt II(DACH)LCl]NO3 and [PtIV(DACH)trans-(X) 2LCl]NO3 (where DACH = trans-1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane, L = adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, cytosine, adenosine, guanosine, inosine, cytidine, 9-ethylguanine (9-EtGua), or 1-methylcytosine and X = hydroxo or acetato ligand) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and by 1H and 195Pt nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the model nucleobase complex [Pt IV(trans-1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane)trans-(acetate)2(9- EtGua)Cl]NO3·H2O was determined using a single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21, with a = 10.446(2) Å, b = 22.906(5) Å, c = 10.978(2) Å, Z = 4, and R = 0.0718, based upon the total of 11,724 collected reflections. In this complex, platinum had a slightly distorted octahedron geometry owing to the presence of a geometrically strained five-member ring. The two adjacent corners of the platinum plane were occupied by the two amino nitrogen of DACH, whereas, the other two equatorial positions occupied by chloride ion and 9-ethylguanine. The remaining two axial positions were occupied by the oxygen atoms of acetato ligands. The DACH ring was in a chair configuration. An intricate network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds held the crystal lattice together. Some of these synthesized models of DACH-Pt-DNA adducts have good in vitro cytotoxic activity against the cisplatin-sensitive human cancer ovarian A2780 cell line (IC50 = 1-8 μM). Interestingly, a substituted nucleobase (9-ethylguanine) adduct was over 6-fold more potent than regular adducts. The cross-resistance factor against the 44-fold cisplatin-resistant 2780CP/clone 16 cells was about 3-9; thus, the cytotoxicity of adducts was indicative of low potency, but the resistance factors were also substantially low. These results suggest that DNA adducts of DACH-Pt are cytotoxic with low cross-resistance. © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
