Synthesis, structures and in vitro cytotoxicity studies of platinum(IV) complexes with N,S and S,S heterocyclic ligands
摘要:
Reactions of [(PtMe3I)(4)] (2) with the sodium salts of the N,S and S,S heterocycles S-DH (pyridine-2-thione, pytH; pyrimidine-2-thione, pymtH; thiazoline-2-thione, tztH; thiophene-2-thiol, tptH) resulted in the formation of the dinuclear complexes [(PtMe3)(2)(mu-D)(2)] (S-D = pyt, 3; pymt, 4; tzt, 5) and the tetranuclear complex [(PtMe3)(4)(mu(3)-tpt)(4)] (6), respectively. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of 3 and 4 exhibited dinuclear complexes having a central [Pt-2(mu-S)(2)] core. The platinum atoms are octahedrally coordinated by three methyl ligands and the bridging 1 kappa N,1:2 kappa S-2 heterocyclic ligands. The two heterocyclic rings are face-to-face (cis) arranged, indicating stabilization through pi-pi stacking. The X-ray diffraction analysis of 6 confirmed a tetranuclear [Pt4S4] heterocubane structure. Each platinum atom is distorted octahedrally coordinated by three methyl ligands in facial arrangement and three mu(3)-bridging sulfur atoms. DFT calculations exhibited that the formation of the tetranuclear complex 6 can be mainly attributed to the weak coordination tendency of the thiophene S atoms of the tpt ligands to the trimethylplatinum(IV) unit. In vitro cytotoxic studies of the complexes 3-5 using five different tumor cell lines (8505C, A253, A549, A2780, DLD-1) revealed moderate to high cytotoxic activities. The most active compound is [(PtMe3)(2)(mu-tzt)(2)] (5) with IC50 values of 0.5-1.2 mu M on investigated cell lines, which is comparable to cisplatin or even better. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
