Synthesis and antitumor activities of alkyl-1,4-butanediamine Pt(II) complexes having seven-membered ring structure

Novel alkyl-1,4-butanediamine Pt(II) complexes having a seven-membered ring structure were synthesized and characterized by fast atom bombardment mass and infrared spectra and elemental analysis. Their antitumor activities in vivo toward lymphoid leukemia L1210 and Lewis lung carcinoma LL were studied in the case where the leaving group was either dichloride or cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate. 1,4-Butanediamine Pt(II) complexes (seven-membered ring) showed higher antitumor activities than those of ethylenediamine Pt(II) (five-membered ring) and 1,3-propanediamine Pt(II) (six-membered ring) complexes toward L1210 for both leaving groups. Alkyl-1,4-butanediamine Pt(II) complexes showed high antitumor activities toward L1210, except for 1,1-dimethyl-1,4-butanediamine Pt(II) complexes. In particular, 2,2-dimethyl-1,4-butanediamine and 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-butanediamine Pt(II) complexes exhibited excellent antitumor activities with T/C% values higher than 300. None of the dichloro Pt(II) complexes showed antitumor activities toward LL, but the cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylato Pt(II) complexes, which were moderately active toward L1210 with T/C% values around 200, also showed high antitumor activities toward LL with T/C% values of more than 200. Alkyl-1,4-butanediamine Pt(II) complexes with a seven-membered ring structure were found to be stable and to have antitumor activities in vivo.

DNA binding and antitumor activities of platinum(IV) and zinc(II) complexes with some S-alkyl derivatives of thiosalicylic acid

A series of complexes of platinum(IV) (C1–C5) and zinc(II) (C6–C10) with S-alkyl derivatives of thiosalicylic acid were prepared and characterized. The interactions of the complexes with calf thymus DNA were analyzed by absorption (UV–Vis) and emission spectral studies (ethidium bromide displacement studies).

The cytotoxicities of the platinum(IV) and zinc(II) complexes toward mouse tumor cell lines were higher compared with their effects on human tumor cell lines. The zinc(II) complex C9 showed the highest antitumor activity toward the tested human cell lines, while the platinum(IV) complex C4 exhibited the highest antitumor activity toward mouse BCL1 and 4T1 cells. Both C4 and C9 have ligands derived from S-propyl thiosalicylic acid.

Cytotoxicity of cobalt complexes of furan oximes in murine and human tissue‐cultured cell lines

The copper complexes of 2‐furaldehyde and furan oximes have previously demonstrated potent cytotoxicity, L1210 DNA synthesis inhibition, DNA topoisomerase II inhibition and DNA fragmentation. Currently a series of cobalt metal complexes of 2‐furaldehyde oximes were compared with copper complexes of furan oximes to determine whether the type of metal is important to the cytotoxicity and mode of action of the complexes. The cobalt complexes of furan oximes, like the copper complexes, were shown to be cytotoxic to suspended tumor cell lines, e.g. leukemias, lymphomas, acute monocytic leukemia and HeLa‐S³ uterine carcinoma. The cobalt complexes did not demonstrate dramatic cytotoxicity against the growth of tumors derived from solid human tumor lines. The cobalt complexes preferentially inhibited L1210 DNA synthesis, followed by inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis from 25 to 100 µM over 60 min. These agents, like the copper complexes of 2‐furaldehyde and furan oximes, were inhibitors of DNA polymerase α activity and de novo purine synthesis with marginal inhibition of ribonucleoside reductase and dihydrofolate reductase activities with DNA fragmentation. Unlike the copper complexes, the cobalt complexes did not inhibit L1210 DNA topoisomerase II activity but did reduce thymidylate synthetase activity. Thus, varying the type of metal within the complexes of 2‐furaldehyde and furan oximes produces differences in both cytotoxicity and mode of action. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of new mono naphthalimide platinum(IV) derivatives as antitumor agents with dual DNA damage mechanism

Naphthalimide has emerged as an interesting DNA intercalator and possessed attracting antitumor properties. In this context, naphthalimide group was linked to platinum(IV) core to construct a series of new mono naphthalimide platinum(IV) derivatives. The title compounds exert effective antitumor activities to the tested tumor cells lines in vitro, especially the one with propionyl chain displays comparable or even better bioactivities than platinum(II) reference drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin. Moreover, the mono naphthalimide platinum(IV) derivative displays comparable tumor growth inhibitory competence against CT26 xenograft tumors in BALB/c mice in vivo without severe toxic effects in contrast to oxaliplatin. A dual DNA damage mechanism was proven for the title complex. Both naphthalimide ligand and the liberated platinum(II) moiety could generate DNA lesions to tumor cells synergistically and active the apoptotic pathway by up-regulating the expression of caspase 9 and caspase 3. Meanwhile, the conversion of platinum(II) drug into tetravalent form by incorporating naphthalimide moiety increases the uptake of platinum in whole cells and DNA remarkably. All these facts might be the factors for the title platinum(IV) complexes to overcome platinum(II) drug resistance. Additionally, the mono naphthalimide platinum(IV) complex could interact with human serum albumin by hydrogen bond and van der Waals force which would further influence their storage, transport and bioactivities.

Antitumor agents. I. DNA topoisomerase II inhibitory activity and the structural relationship of podophyllotoxin derivatives as antitumor agents.

Various podophyllotoxin derivatives from desoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT) were synthesized to examine the structural relationships between the biological significance (cytotoxic effect, effects on DNA topoisomerase II and tubulin polymerization) in vitro and antitumor activity in vivo (L 1210). An intact 6,7-methylenedioxy group of DPT is necessary to inhibit tubulin polymerization and topoisomerase II. 4'-Phenolic hydroxyl group of DPT is essential to inhibit DNA topoisomerase II and the inhibitory effect on DNA topoisomerase II contributes to a high cytotoxicity. The introduction of an aminoalkoxy group at 1-position of DPT enhances the inhibitory activity against DNA topoisomerase II and cytotoxic effect, causing the inhibitory activity against tubulin polymerization to disappear. The results of antitumor test in mice bearing L 1210 on podophyllotoxin derivatives suggest the following: 1) the strong cytotoxic effect itself is not a good indication of antitumor activity in vivo as long as it is associated with inhibition of tubulin polymerization. DNA topoisomerase II inhibitory effect contributes to an antitumor activity in vivo; 2) detailed measurements of cytotoxicity and inhibition on DNA topoisomerase II and tubulin polymerization in vitro are necessary to evaluate podophyllotoxin derivatives.
