title: DNA binding studies with cis-dichlorobis (5(6)-non/chlorosubstituted-2-hydroxymethyl-benzimidazole) platinum(II) complexes.
abstract: The DNA binding properties of two new platinum compounds, cis-[Pt(L)2Cl2]. 2H2O where L is 5(6)-non/chlorosubstituted-2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole, were examined and compared with cisplatin. The platinum compounds (compounds I and II) were used to modify DNA, which was then used in electrophoretic mobility shift assays with the high mobility group (HMG)-do-main protein, HMG1. The DNA platinated with these compounds was specifically recognized by HMG1. It was concluded that the adducts formed by compounds I and II distort the DNA in a manner similar to cisplatin diadducts.
