Abstract: | Platinum(IV) am(m)ine complexes are of interest as potential anticancer pro-drugs, but there are few reports of their acid-base properties. We have studied the acid-base properties of three photoactivatable anticancer platinum(IV)-diazidodiam(m)ine complexes (cis,trans,cis-Pt(IV)(N(3))(2)(OH)(2)(NH(3))(2)], trans,trans,trans-Pt(IV)(N(3))(2)(OH)(2)(NH(3))(2)], and cis,trans-Pt(IV)(N(3))(2)(OH)(2)(en)]) using multinuclear NMR methods and potentiometry. In particular, the combination of both direct and indirect techniques for the detection of (15)N signals has allowed changes of the chemical shifts to be followed over the pH range 1-11; complementary (14)N NMR studies have been also carried out. A distinct pK(a) value of approximately 3.4 was determined for all the investigated complexes, involving protonation/deprotonation reactions of one of the axial hydroxido groups, whereas a second pH-dependent change for the three complexes at approximately pH 7.5 appears not to be associated with a loss of an am(m)ine or hydroxido proton from the complex. Our findings are discussed in comparison with the limited data available in the literature on related complexes. |
