The pH-and time-dependent reactions of the antitumor drug cisplatin, cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(2)], with the methionine-containing peptides Ac-Met-Gly-OH, Ac-Met-Pro-OH, Ac-Met-Pro-Gly-Gly-OH and Ac-Gly-Met-Pro-Gly-Gly-OH (Gly = glycyl, Met = D-methionyl, Pro = L-prolyl) at 313 K have been investigated by high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. As a result of the strong trans influence of the methionyl S-M atom, initial Pt-S-M binding at pH > 5 is followed by a rapid formation of tridentate machrochelates for the N-acetylated peptides. The site trans to S-M is occupied by a carboxylate O atom in the case of the kappa S-3(M),N-M,O-G/P macrochelates of the dipeptides and by the C-terminal glycylamide N-G2 atom for the kappa S-3(M),O-M,N-G2 macrochelate of Ac-Met-Pro-Gly-Gly-OH. Cisplatin simultaneously mediates the rapid hydrolytic cleavage of the Met-X (X = Gly, Pro) amide bond for both dipeptides over the whole range 2.8 <= pH <= 10.0. The released amino acids X react with the resulting kappa S-2(M),N-M chelate of N-acetylmethionine to afford mixed kappa S-M:kappa N-2(x),O-x complexes of the type cis-[Pt(NH3)(Ac-Met-OH-kappa S)(H-X-O-kappa N-2(x),O-x)](+) as final products at pH < 5 for X = Gly and pH < 8 for X = Pro. In contrast to the dipeptides, hydrolytic cleavage of the Met-Pro amide bond in Ac-Met-Pro-Gly-Gly-OH at pH > 5 is significantly inhibited by the presence of high concentrations of the macrochelate [Pt(NH3)(Ac-Met-Pro-Gly-Gly)-kappa S-3(M),O-M,N-G2](+). Downstream hydrolysis of the Met-Gly amide bond is competitive with upstream Ac-Gly cleavage for Ac-Gly-Met-Pro-Gly-Gly-OH at pH < 4.5. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
