Facile Preparation of Mono‐, Di‐ and Mixed‐Carboxylato Platinum(IV) Complexes for Versatile Anticancer Prodrug Design

Facile strategies were developed for the versatile functionalization of platinum(IV) axial sites, allowing for easy accessibility to unsymmetric mono‐ and mixed‐carboxylato, as well as symmetric di‐substituted platinum(IV) complexes. The first method involves the direct oxidation and carboxylation of the platinum(II) center using an appropriate peroxide and the carboxylate of choice to firstly yield a monocarboxylato monohydroxido platinum(IV) complex. This platinum(IV) intermediate can undergo further carboxylation to give rise to a mixed‐carboxylato platinum(IV) complex. The second method involves the activation of the carboxylate of choice by a common carbodiimide coupling reagent, and its reaction with a dihydroxido platinum(IV) precursor to give the monocarboxylato platinum(IV) complex. Uronium salts can be employed to promote efficient dicarboxylation of the dihydroxido platinum(IV) precursor. Lastly, an axial azide pendant group was demonstrated to be suitable for orthogonal “click” conjugation reactions.     

Application of platinum gauze activated by hydrogen to the adsorption separation of silver traces and their determination by aas or spectrophotometry

A method ("electrosorption") has been developed for separation of silver from copper by its deposition through internal electrolysis with hydrogen adsorbed on a platinum surface. The silver can then be stripped and determined by atomic-absorption spectrometry or the dithizone method. The activation of the platinum surface with adsorbed hydrogen can be achieved either electrolytically or by passing hydrogen gas through the solution in which the platinum is immersed. The method of electrosorption has been successfully applied to determination of trace levels of silver in copper metal.     

Factor analysis of in vitro antitumor activities of platinum complexes

Factor analysis was applied to the data matrix of in vitro growth inhibitory activities of 52 platinum complexes against 9 tumor cell lines, L1210, P388, Lewis lung, AH66, AH66F, HeLa S3, KB, HT-1197 and HT-1376 cell lines. Three factors were obtained by the principal factor analysis method. After the varimax rotation of these three factors, tumor cell lines were classified into four groups according to their factor loadings. The platinum complexes were characterized by the factor scores. Cisplatin was situated in an extreme position as compared with the other platinum complexes. In vivo antitumor activities of the platinum complexes were tested against L1210 and LL murine tumor models. The in vivo activity against L1210 showed a negative correlation with that against LL. Factor 2 scores of the complexes obtained by factor analysis of in vitro antitumor activities showed a good correlation with these in vivo antitumor activities. Then, the structure-factor 2 score relationships among platinum complexes were analyzed by the Free-Wilson method. From this analysis, structure-activity relationships for carrier ligands and leaving groups are proposed. Factor analysis is suggested to be a useful method to establish an efficient screening system for platinum complexes.     

Polarographic Determination of Subnanogram Quantities of Free Platinum in Reaction Mixture with Dna

Abstract

A simple and rapid differential pulse polarographic assay for measurement of platinum drug binding to DNA is described. The method makes it possible to determine the free (unbound) platinum compound in the presence of DNA or platinum - DNA complex. The method is based on the polarographic catalytic hydrogen current yielded by platinum (II) or (IV) complexes in formaldehyde - hydrazine - sulphuric acid background electrolyte, in which DNA or platinum - DNA complex precipitate. The lower level of analytical utility of this method is c. 1 × 10^?9 M.     

Platinum solubility of a substance designed as a model for emissions of automobile catalytic converters

Automobile catalytic converters emit nanocrystalline platinum attached to alumina particles. For investigations about the bioavailability of Pt from these particles a model substance with approx. 5% Pt on alumina has been prepared and characterized by physical methods (ESCA, XRD, TEM, DTA, TG). Measuring the platinum solubility of these samples in different solvents revealed high amounts that can be explained assuming a corrosion process. The portion of soluble platinum is dependent on the particle size distribution. For a comparative study platinum black has been used. In general the platinum determination has been carried out by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET-AAS). The comparison of ET-AAS results with determinations by adsorptive voltammetry (formazone method) allowed to distinguish between elemental and ionic platinum; in solution samples only ionic platinum has been present. UV spectra of extracts have been used for the semi-quantitative platinum speciation in solutions.

Simultaneous Laser Thermal Lens Spectrometric Determination of Trace Platinum and Palladium in an Aquesous Solution

A selective and sensitive method for determination of platinum and palladium(Ⅱ）in an aqueous solution simultaneously by laser thermal lens spectrometry,based on the complex reaction of 2-(3,5-dichloropyridylazo)-5-dimethylaminoamiline(3,5-diCl-PADMA) with platinum and palladium,has been developed.It is shown that the palladium complex can be fromed at room temperature, while the platinum complex can be only formed after being heated in a boiling water bath.By using this difference of reaction temperature and the characteristic of the complexes mentioned above,the method for simultaneous determination of platinum and palladium was established in an aqueous solution without a pre-separation.The results show that the dynamic linear ranges of determination for platinum and palladium are 0.005-0.04μg/mL and 0.005-0.25μg/mL respectively,and that the detection limits are both 0.002/μg/mL.The method has been applied to the determination of platinum and palladium simultaneously in alloy and catalyst samples with satisfactory results.     

硫鸟嘌呤修饰的Mn:ZnS QDs磷光探针检测铂(Ⅲ)

通过水相合成法制备了硫鸟嘌呤(TG)修饰的锰掺杂硫化锌量子点(TG-Mn:ZnS QDs)。加入Pt⁴⁺后,Pt⁴⁺会与硫鸟嘌呤上的氮原子结合形成N-Pt⁴⁺配位结构附着在TG-Mn:ZnS QDs的表面,随着Pt⁴⁺浓度的增加,TG-Mn:ZnS QDs-Pt⁴⁺体系发生电子转移而导致磷光逐渐被猝灭,基于此构建了检测Pt⁴⁺的磷光探针。实验中考察了p H、时间对Pt⁴⁺猝灭TG-Mn:ZnS QDs磷光强度的影响。在最佳实验条件下,Pt⁴⁺浓度在0.06~2.4μg/mL范围内与TG-Mn:ZnS QDs的磷光强度呈良好的线性关系y=0.0884x+0.2319,R²=0.991,方法检出限(3σ/n)为1.3μg/mL。该磷光探针适用于实际样品中Pt⁴⁺含量的测定。     

Sensitive inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assay for the determination of platinum originating from cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin in human plasma ultrafiltrate

We present a highly sensitive, rapid method for the determination of platinum originating from the anticancer agents cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin in human plasma ultrafiltrate. The method is based on the quantification of platinum by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and allows quantification of 7.50 ng l-1 platinum in only 150 microl of matrix. Sample pretreatment involves dilution of samples with 1% HNO3. Validation fulfilled the most recent FDA guidelines for bioanalytical method validation. Validated ranges of quantification were 7.50 ng l-1 to 1.00x10(5) ng l-1 in plasma ultrafiltrate for all three platinum compounds. The assay is now successfully used to support pharmacokinetic studies in cancer patients treated with cisplatin, carboplatin, or oxaliplatin.     

Voltammetric determination of platinum in inorganic complexes and in water, geological and biological matrices using laboratory- and field-based instrumentation

The extremely sensitive catalytic hydrogen ion reduction wave observed after the formation of a platinum-formazone complex at a mercury electrode in a hydrazine-formaldehyde-H2SO4 medium has been utilised to determine platinum voltammetrically in well characterised platinum inorganic complexes (oxidation states O, II and IV) and in biological, geological and water samples. Experimental conditions have been optimised and sample-treatment procedures for various matrices have been critically evaluated for the quantification of platinum by the standard additions method. The determination of platinum in geological samples by this method has been compared with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric method. Both conventional and portable field-based instrumentation have been used in the studies, and the possibility of developing a field-based method for the determination of platinum has been investigated. Despite the inherent sensitivity of the method, which enables concentrations down to 0.01 p.p.b. to be detected in simple matrices, natural levels in water and biological materials, where matrix effects suppress the voltammetric response, are often below the detection limit.

Validated method for the determination of platinum from a liposomal source (SPI-77) in human plasma using graphite furnace Zeeman atomic absorption spectrometry

A sensitive analytical method based on flameless atomic absorption spectrometry with Zeeman correction has been validated for the quantitative determination in human plasma of platinum originating from cisplatin in a liposomal source, SPI-77. The performance of the method was acceptable over a sample concentration range of 0. 125-1.25 micromol platinum/L and the lower limit of quantification was determined to be 1.25 micromol platinum/L in undiluted clinical samples. The performance data of the assay were investigated using both a calibration curve with carboplatin in plasma ultrafiltrate and diluted human plasma samples spiked with SPI-77. The recoveries, between-day and the within-day precisions of both methods of calibration were not significantly different allowing carboplatin ultrafiltrate calibration standards to be used to quantify platinum derived from SPI-77 in human plasma. Apparently, the liposomal formulation had no significant influence on the determination of platinum. The usefulness of the presented method was demonstrated in a phase I clinical and pharmacokinetic study. In addition, in vitro experiments were carried out to determine the distribution of SPI-77 in blood. The results indicated that platinum from SPI-77 mainly concentrates in plasma and that binding to and/or endocytosis in red blood cells is negligible.     

Determination of platinum and iridium in reforming catalysts by second derivative and absorptiometric spectrophotometry

Summary Investigations on the spectrophotometric determination of platinum as a complex formed by tin(II)chloride in hydrochloric acid are reported. The determination of platinum was found to be interfered with by iridium, because it also forms a complex with tin(II) chloride. The features of the derivative absorption spectrophotometry for the quantitative determination of platinum and iridium was also studied. The analytical application of the method for the determination of platinum and iridium in catalysts was investigated.     

Spectrophotometric determination of platinum in glass after extraction with polyurethane foam

A spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination of trace amounts of platinum in glass. The method is based on the extraction of platinum(II) from 1M hydrochloric acid containing 0.2M stannous chloride and 4 x 10(-4)M dithizone onto polyurethane foam, elution with acetone (containing 3% v/v concentrated hydrochloric acid) and measurement of the absorbance of the eluate at 530 nm. Beer's law is obeyed up to 10.0 microg/ml Pt. The minimum platinum level in the eluate that can be determined by this method is 0.1 microg/ml.     

Size effects of platinum particles on the electro-oxidation of methanol in an aqueous solution of HClO4

The `size effect' of ultrafine platinum particles supported on a carbon material for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol has been examined by a model catalyst method. Chronoamperometry revealed that the specific activity of the reaction per real surface area of the platinum particles decreases with a decrease in the platinum particle size.     

Extractive separation of platinum from macroamounts of palladium using triphenylphosphine oxide and its successive spectrophotometric determination by the stannous chloride method

Trialkylphosphine oxides extract more effectively chloride complexes of platinum than of palladium(II). Of the examined tributylphosphine (TBPO), trioctylphosphine (TOPO), and triphenylphosphine (TPPO) oxides the latter one makes possible best separation of these metals.The extraction of platinum with TPPO from solutions containing platinum and palladium unfavorably decreases with increasing palladium concentration. Using 0.1 M TPPO solution in dichloroethane, at HCl concentration 7.5 M, it is possible to separate 2–200 μg Pt/ml at a palladium concentration not higher than 10 mg/ml.Separation of platinum from macroamounts of palladium has been combined with spectrophotometric determination of platinum by means of stannous chloride. The method has been applied to the analysis of palladium for platinum content.     

Evaluation of x-ray fluorescence spectrometry for the determination of platinum in catalysts and comparison with other spectrometric techniques

An x-ray fluorescence (x.r.f.) method is described for the determination of platinum contents (0.3–0.6%) in some special types of platinum catalysts. Calibration graphs were linear in the range 30–700 μg g^?1 platinum with a 3σ detection limit of 10 μg g^?1 for a 2000-s counting time. Because of the lack of certified standard platinum catalysts for checking accuracy, the results obtained were compared with results from visible spectrophotometry (tin (II) chloride method), optical emission spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry. Statistical evaluation showed no significant errors at the 95% confidence interval.

Determination of platinum and rhodium in dust and plant samples using microwave-assisted sample digestion and ICP-MS

The platinum group elements (PGEs), particularly platinum, palladium and rhodium, are nowadays increasingly emitted into the environment from automotive catalytic converters. Thus, a method for the determination of PGEs (especially platinum and rhodium) in dust and plant samples was developed. The developed method was based on microwave-assisted sample digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) determination. Spectral interferences in ICP-MS determination were corrected using mathematical correction equations based on signal ratio measurement. In addition, platinum and rhodium concentrations in the digested dust samples were also determined after Te coprecipitation without correction of the interferences. The results for platinum and rhodium in reference materials (NIST SRM 2557, recycled monolith autocatalyst and BCR-723, road dust) were in good agreement with the certified values. Preliminary results for the anthropogenic platinum and rhodium emissions in Oulu, northern Finland, based on dust and plant samples, indicated a common traffic-related source of these metals.
