Synthesis, characterization and anti-tumour testing of some platinum(II) amine complexes containing 1,1- and 1,2-cyclobutanedicarboxylate ligands.
A series of new platinum(II) amine complexes containing 1,1- and 1,2-cyclobutanedicarboxylate ligands, cis-[PtA2(1,1-CBDCA)] (A = RNH2, where R = C2H5, n-C3H7, n-C4H9, n-C5H11, n-C6H13, c-C3H5, c-C5H9, c-C6H11; A2 = ethylenediamine, 1,3-diaminopropane), cis-[PtA2(1,2-CBDCA)] (A = NH3, RNH2 where R = CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, n-C4H9, c-C3H5) and trans-[Pt(NH3)2(1,1-CBDCAH)2] (CBDCA, CBDCAH = dianion and monoanion of the dicarboxylic acid, respectively) have been synthesized by an improved route. These complexes are stable in aqueous solution and show good aqueous solubility. The [Pt(c-C3H5NH2)2(1,1-CBDCA)] can be isolated in white, grey and blue forms. The grey and blue forms exhibit ESR signals analogous to the so-called platinum blues. The existence of the blue form in aqueous solution is time and temperature dependent. Several of the complexes have been tested against leukaemia L1210 in male BDF mice and activity appears to decrease with the increase in length of the aliphatic chain (or increase in size of the alicyclic ring) of the primary amine. The Yoshida lymphoscarcoma screen, usually insensitive to platinum drugs, was found to respond well to [Pt(n-C4H9NH2)2(1,1-CBDCA)] in 5-day subcutaneously implanted tumours in female Wistar rats.
