The binding of binuclear platinum(II)-terpyridine complexes to DNA.

ABSTRACT: The binding of platinum (II)-terpyridine complexes to DNA was studied by using equilibrium dialysis. Optical absorption methods were used to measure the ability of the ligands to aggregate in aqueous buffer. Scatchard plots for the binding of the monomeric [Pt(terpy)SC4H9]+ cation to DNA at I0.01 are curvilinear, concave upwards, suggesting two modes of binding. The association constant decreases at higher ionic strengths, consistent with polyelectrolyte theory, and 1.1 cations are released per bound ligand molecule. The association constants of the binuclear ligands [Pt(terpy)S[CH2]4S(terpy)Pt]2+ and [Pt(terpy)S[CH2]6S(terpy)Pt]2+ are 8 and 23 times larger respectively than the affinity of the monomer. For the latter binuclear derivative the increase may be ascribed to bifunctional reaction. Differential dialysis experiments with DNAs of differing base composition show that [Pt(terpy)SC4H9]+ has a requirement for a single G X C base-pair at the highest-affinity site. However, in the binuclear ligands chromophore specificity is severely compromised. Similar experiments indicate that 9-aminoacridine and selected methylene-linked diacridines show no significant sequence selectivity.

Binuclear platinum (II)-terpyridine complexes. A new class of bifunctional DNA-intercalating agent.

Project description:A series of binuclear DNA-binding ligands was prepared by linking two (2,2':6',2"-terpyridine)platinum(II) moieties via alpha omega-dithiols of the type HS-[CH2]n-SH where n = 4-10. A monomeric analogue was also synthesized. Compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and electronic and n.m.r. spectroscopy. Viscometric measurements with sonicated rod-like DNA fragments and covalently closed circular DNA were performed to investigate the mode of binding of these agents. The ligands with n = 5 and 6 function as bis intercalators and form a single 'base-pair sandwich' in violation of neighbour-exclusion binding. Bifunctional reaction occurs for the ligand with n = 7, whereas the ligands with n = 8 and 10 show a preference for mixed monofunctional/bifunctional binding. The data do not permit definitive assignment of the binding mode of the ligands with n = 4 and 9. All compounds are growth-inhibitory against mouse leukaemia L1210 cells in culture with IC50 values in the range 2-14 microM.

Platinum(II) Terpyridine Anticancer Complexes Possessing Multiple Mode of DNA Interaction and EGFR Inhibiting Activity.

Project description:Platinum(II) terpyridine complexes has attracted increasing attention as they have displayed great potential as antitumor agents due to their high intercalation affinity with nucleic acids. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is often overexpressed in various tumor cells, leading to uncontrolled growth of tumor, and is regarded as an important target for developing novel antitumor drugs. Herein, we report four platinum(II) terpyridine complexes bearing EGFR inhibiting 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives as potent multi-targeting antiproliferation agents against a series of cancer cells. EGFR inhibition assay revealed that these complexes are highly potent EGFR inhibitors. But competitive DNA binding assay and docking simulations also suggested that these complexes exhibited multiple modes of DNA interaction, especially great affinity toward DNA minor groove. Finally, cellular uptake and distribution measurements by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) demonstrated that both nucleus DNA and membrane proteins are important targets for their anticancer mechanisms. The complexes herein can therefore be regarded as promising multi-targeting anticancer agents.

Tuning two-electron transfer in terpyridine-based platinum(ii) pincer complexes.

Project description:An important factor in obtaining reversible multi-electron transfer is overcoming large changes in coordination geometry. One strategy is to use ligands that can support the geometries favored before and after the electron transfer. Pip2NCN- pincer and terpyridine ligands are used to support square planar Pt(ii) and octahedral Pt(iv). For the Pt(ii) complexes, [Pt(Z-pip2NCN)(R-tpy)]+ (Z = NO2, MeO, H; R = H, tertyl butyl, tolyl), 1H NMR spectroscopy shows that the Z-pip2NCN- ligand is monodentate whereas the R-terpyridyl ligand is tridentate. The availability of flanking piperidyl groups of the monodentate pincer ligand is essential for the stabilization of the metal center upon oxidation. Pt(Z-pip2NCN)(R-tpy)+ complexes undergo two-electron platinum centered oxidation near 0.4 V and two Pt(tpy) centered reductions near -1.0 V and -1.5 V. An estimate of n ox/n red = 1.8 is consistent with an oxidation that involves two-electron transfer per Pt center. Variation in the pincer-(Z) and terpyridine-(R) substituents allows for tuning of the oxidation process over a 260 mV range and the two reduction processes over ranges of 230 mV (first reduction) and 290 mV (second reduction step).

Interaction of phenylthiolato-(2,2',2"-terpyridine)platinum(II) cation with DNA.

Project description:The interaction between a novel aromatic thiolato derivative from the family of DNA-intercalating platinum complexes, phenylthiolato-(2,2',2"-terpyridine)platinum(II)-[PhS(ter py)Pt+], and nucleic acids was studied by using viscosity, equilibrium-dialysis and kinetic measurements. Viscosity measurements with sonicated DNA provide direct evidence for intercalation, and show that at binding ratios below 0.2 molecules per base-pair PhS(terpy)Pt+ causes an increase in contour length of 0.2 nm per bound molecule. However, helix extension diminishes at greater extents of binding, indicating the existence of additional, non-intercalated, externally bound forms of the ligand. The ability of PhS(terpy)Pt+ to aggregate in neutral aqueous buffers at a range of ionic strengths and temperatures was assessed by using optical-absorption methods. Scatchard plots for binding to calf thymus DNA at ionic strength 0.01 (corrected for dimerization) are curvilinear, concave upward, providing further evidence for two modes of binding. The association constant decreases at higher ionic strengths, in accord with the expectations of polyelectrolyte theory, although the number of cations released per bound unipositive ligand molecule is substantially greater than 1. Stopped-flow kinetic measurements confirm the complexity of the binding reaction by revealing multiple bound forms of the ligand whose kinetic processes are both fast and closely coupled. Thermal denaturation of DNA radically alters the shapes of binding isotherms and either has little effect on, or enhances, the affinity of potential binding sites, depending on experimental conditions. Scatchard plots for binding to natural DNA species with differing nucleotide composition show that the ligand has a requirement for a single G X C base-pair at the highest-affinity intercalation sites.

Efficient acceptorless photo-dehydrogenation of alcohols and <i>N</i>-heterocycles with binuclear platinum(ii) diphosphite complexes.

Project description:Although photoredox catalysis employing Ru(ii) and Ir(iii) complexes as photocatalysts has emerged as a versatile tool for oxidative C-H functionalization under mild conditions, the need for additional reagents acting as electron donor/scavenger for completing the catalytic cycle undermines the practicability of this approach. Herein we demonstrate that photo-induced oxidative C-H functionalization can be catalysed with high product yields under oxygen-free and acceptorless conditions via inner-sphere atom abstraction by binuclear platinum(ii) diphosphite complexes. Both alcohols (51 examples), particularly the aliphatic ones, and saturated N-heterocycles (24 examples) can be efficiently dehydrogenated under light irradiation at room temperature. Regeneration of the photocatalyst by means of reductive elimination of dihydrogen from the in situ formed platinum(iii)-hydride species represents an alternative paradigm to the current approach in photoredox catalysis.

Zinc(II) Terpyridine Complexes: Substituent Effect on Photoluminescence, Antiproliferative Activity, and DNA Interaction.

Project description:A series of ZnCl2 complexes (compounds 1-10) with 4'-(substituted-phenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine that bears hydrogen (L1), p-methyl (L2), p-methoxy (L3), p-phenyl (L4), p-tolyl (L5), p-hydroxyl (L6), m-hydroxyl (L7), o-hydroxyl (L8), p-carboxyl (L9), or p-methylsulfonyl (L10) were prepared and then characterized by 1H NMR, electrospray mass-spectra (ESI-MS), IR, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In vitro cytotoxicity assay was used to monitor the antiproliferative activities against tumor cells. Absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence titration, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and molecular modeling studied the DNA interactions. All of the compounds display interesting photoluminescent properties and different maximal emission peaks due to the difference of the substituent groups. The cell viability studies indicate that the compounds have excellent antiproliferative activity against four human carcinoma cell lines, A549, Bel-7402, MCF-7, and Eca-109, with the lowest IC50 values of 0.33 (10), 0.66 (6), 0.37 (7), and 1.05 (7) μM, respectively. The spectrophotometric results reveal that the compounds have strong affinity binding with DNA as intercalator and induce DNA conformational transition. Molecular docking studies indicate that the binding is contributed by the π…π stacking and hydrogen bonds, providing an order of nucleotide sequence binding selectivity as ATGC > ATAT > GCGC. These compounds intercalate into the base pairs of the DNA of the tumor cells to affect their replication and transcription, and the process is supposed to play an important role in the anticancer mechanism.

Selectivity of Terpyridine Platinum Anticancer Drugs for G-quadruplex DNA.

Project description:Guanine-rich DNA can form four-stranded structures called G-quadruplexes (G4s) that can regulate many biological processes. Metal complexes have shown high affinity and selectivity toward the quadruplex structure. Here, we report the comparison of a panel of platinum (II) complexes for quadruplex DNA selective recognition by exploring the aromatic core around terpyridine derivatives. Their affinity and selectivity towards G4 structures of various topologies have been evaluated by FRET-melting (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfert-melting) and Fluorescent Intercalator Displacement (FID) assays, the latter performed by using three different fluorescent probes (Thiazole Orange (TO), TO-PRO-3, and PhenDV). Their ability to bind covalently to the c-myc G4 structure in vitro and their cytotoxicity potential in two ovarian cancerous cell lines were established. Our results show that the aromatic surface of the metallic ligands governs, in vitro, their affinity, their selectivity for the G4 over the duplex structures, and platination efficiency. However, the structural modifications do not allow significant discrimination among the different G4 topologies. Moreover, all compounds were tested on ovarian cancer cell lines and normal cell lines and were all able to overcome cisplatin resistance highlighting their interest as new anticancer drugs.

DNA-Binding and Anticancer Activity of Binuclear Gold(I) Alkynyl Complexes with a Phenanthrenyl Bridging Ligand.

Project description:3,6-Diethynyl-9,10-diethoxyphenanthrene (4) was synthesized from phenanthrene and employed in the synthesis of the binuclear gold(I) alkynyl complexes (R3P)Au(C≡C-3-[C14H6-9,10-diethoxy]-6-C≡C)Au(PR3) (R = Ph (5a), Cy (5b)). The diyne 4 and complexes 5a and 5b were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. UV-Vis spectroscopy studies of the metal complexes and precursor diyne show strong p à p* transitions in the near UV region that red shift by ca. 50 nm upon coordination at the gold centers. The emission spectrum of 4 shows an intense fluorescence band centered at 420 nm which red shifts, slightly upon coordination of 4 to gold. Binding studies of 4, 5a, and 5b against calf thymus DNA were carried out, revealing that 4, 5a, and 5b have >40% stronger binding affinities than the commonly used intercalating agent ethidium bromide. The molecular docking scores of 4, 5a, and 5b with B-DNA suggest a similar trend in behavior to that observed in the DNA-binding study. Unlike the ligand 4, promising anticancer properties for 5a and 5b were observed against several cell lines; the DNA binding capability of the precursor alkyne was maintained, and its anticancer efficacy enhanced by the gold centers. Such phenanthrenyl complexes could be promising candidates in certain biological applications because the two components (phenanthrenyl bridge and metal centers) can be altered independently to improve the targeting of the complex, as well as the biological and physicochemical properties.

DNA/lysozyme binding propensity and nuclease properties of benzimidazole/2,2'-bipyridine based binuclear ternary transition metal complexes.

Project description:In the present contribution, new binuclear ternary complexes; [M2(bpy)4L](ClO4)4 (M = Co(ii) (1) and Ni(ii) (2); bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; L = 1,1'-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis[2-(pyridin-2-yl)1H-benzimidazole] and [Cu2(bpy)2(OH2)2L](BF4)4 (3) were synthesized, characterized and screened for their antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity against human liver carcinoma cells (HepG-2) as well as non-malignant human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293). The structural studies were complemented by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. DNA binding of 1-3 was spectrophotometrically studied. The DNA cleavage ability of 1-3 towards the supercoiled plasmid DNA (pBR322 DNA) was examined through gel electrophoresis. Compound 3 has the highest cytotoxic activity (IC50 = 3.5 μg mL-1) against HepG-2 among the investigated complexes and is non cytotoxic to noncancerous HEK-293. Complexes (1 and 2) exhibited toxicity to HEK-293 with IC50 values of 30.3 and 23.5 μg mL-1 in that order. While compound 1 showed antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans, complex 2 exhibited its toxicity against Candida albicans.
