title: Mono- and bifunctional binding of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) to dinucleotides.
abstract: cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-Pt) was reacted with four homodinucleotides (GpG, ApA, CpC, and UpU) and six heterodinucleotides (GpC, CpG, GpU, UpG, GpA, and ApG) at pH 6, and the reaction products were purified by HPLC. The most important products were characterized by 1H-NMR spectra. In all the heterodinucleotides except the ones containing uridine the main Pt-adduct was an intramolecular cross-link, but monofunctional adducts and intermolecular cross-links were also detected. Intramolecular cross-links were also formed with GpU and UpG but the amounts of them were about the same as the amounts of intermolecular cross-links. In the case of homodinucleotides GpG gave almost entirely intramolecular cross-links, in which cis-Pt was chelated between the N-7 atoms of two guanines. cis-Pt reacted also with ApA forming both monofunctional and bifunctional Pt-adducts. The main adducts were intramolecular cross-links. cis-Pt reacted equally well with all guanosine-containing dinucleotides, while the reaction with ApA was much slower. With CpC and UpU no reaction products were formed.
