title: The preparation, characterisation, and DNA adduct profile of 2-amino-2-methyl-3-butanoneoximedichloroplatinum(II), a platinum(II) complex designed to bind to GpA sequences of DNA.
abstract: The complex, 2-amino-2-methyl-3-butanoneoximedichloroplatinum(II), [Pt(ambo)Cl2], was chosen because of its potential to bind to GpA sequences of duplex DNA. Crystals of [Pt(ambo)Cl2] are monoclinic, space group, P2(1)/n, a = 6.799(4), b = 17.642(5), c = 8.193(2) A, beta = 102.10(3) degrees, Z = 4, R = 0.033 (1864 F). The binding of [Pt(ambo)Cl2] to salmon-sperm DNA was studied using enzymatic digestion and HPLC analysis. [Pt(ambo)Cl2] was found to form fewer GpG and ApG intrastrand adducts and more monofunctional adducts than [Pt(en)Cl2]. Binding to GpA sequences could not be established, but [Pt(ambo)Cl2] forms substantially more adducts with adenine than does [Pt(en)Cl2].
