The synthesis and characterisation of a new dinuclear GdIII–PtII complex (1·PF6) containing a functionalised macrocyclic 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid derivative linked to a PtII-terpy (terpy = 2,2′ : 6′,2″-terpyridine) unit by means of a short thiolato linker are reported. The complex was synthesised in six steps from cyclen by means of a modular synthetic strategy. A preliminary DNA-binding study with calf-thymus DNA (ct-DNA) was performed on 1·PF6 by means of linear dichroism (LD). The observed changes in the DNA LD signal in the presence of the metal complex are fully consistent with an intercalative binding mode. Furthermore, an induced negative LD signal in the ultraviolet absorption region of the complex provides strong evidence of a strong DNA-binding interaction. The in vitro cytotoxicity of 1·PF6 towards a human glioblastoma cell line (T98G) was also determined.
报告了一种新的双核 GdIII-PtII 复合物(1-PF6)的合成和表征,该复合物含有功能化的大环 1,4,7,10-四氮杂环十二烷-1,4,7-三乙酸衍生物,该衍生物通过短硫醇连接体与 PtII-terpy(terpy = 2,2′ : 6′,2″-terpyridine)单元相连。该复合物是通过模块化合成策略从环烯中分六步合成的。通过线性二色性(LD),对 1-PF6 与小牛胸腺 DNA(ct-DNA)进行了初步的 DNA 结合研究。在金属复合物存在的情况下,观察到的 DNA LD 信号变化与插层结合模式完全一致。此外,在复合物的紫外吸收区域出现的诱导负 LD 信号为 DNA 的强结合作用提供了有力证据。此外,还测定了 1-PF6 对人类胶质母细胞瘤细胞系(T98G)的体外细胞毒性。
