摘要:
Dinitroxyl complexes of platinum, cis-Pt-II(APO)(2)X-2, where APO is 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine- 1-oxyl, were obtained by either a direct reaction of APO with K2PtX4 (X = Cl or I) or a replacement of iodide ligands in cis-Pt-II(APO)(2)I-2 by nitrate and oxalate ligands. The interaction of water-soluble cis-Pt-II(APO)(2)(NO3)(2) with ox spleen DNA resulted in platinated DNA with a degree of modification (r) similar to 7 times lower than that obtained with cis-Pt-II(NH3)(2)Cl-2 (cisplatin). Melting point T-m, melting range Delta T, and the degree of hyperchromicity Delta H for platinated DNA showed that for equal r values, the cis-Pt-II(APO)(2)-DNA adducts increase heterogeneity in the DNA structure much more effectively than the cis-Pt-II(NH3)(2)-DNA adducts. Poor platinating activity, substantial disturbance of the DNA structure, as well as low toxicity and moderate antitumor activity of cis-Pt-II(APO)(2)X-2 complexes are probably explained by steric hindrances caused by two bulky APO ligands.
