New antitumor-active azole-bridged dinuclear platinum(II) complexes: synthesis, characterization, crystal structures, and cytotoxic studies.
Three new derivatives of the cytotoxic azole-bridged dinuclear platinum(II) complex [(cis-Pt(NH3)2)2(mu-OH)(mu-pz)][NO3]2 (1) have been prepared and structurally characterized. Their formulas are [(cis-Pt(NH3)2)2(mu-OH)(mu-1,2,3-ta)][NO3]2 (2) (1,2,3-ta = 1,2,3-triazolate), [(Pt(R,R-dach))(mu-OH)(mu-pz)(Pt(S,S- dach))][NO3]2 (3) (dach = 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, pz = pyrazolate), and [(Pt(R,R-dach))(mu-1,2,3- ta)2(Pt(S,S-dach))][NO3]2 (4). The compounds were characterized by 1H, 13C, and 195Pt NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, and their crystal structures were determined. Relevant data for 2: triclinic, space group P1, a = 8.5225(15) A, b = 9.1977(18) A, c = 9.9771(7) A, alpha = 66.988(10) degrees, beta = 75.423(9) degrees, gamma = 67.321(13) degrees, Z = 2. 3: orthorhombic, space group Pca2(1), a = 17.7653(3) A, b = 12.4076(3) A, c = 10.7091(3) A, Z = 4. 4: orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 13.8944(1) A, b = 17.8668(1) A, c = 20.7647(2) A, Z = 8. In the crystal structures of 2, and 3, the intramolecular distances between the two Pt atoms are 3.4411(6) and 3.4873(5) A, and the dihedral angles between the platinum coordination planes are 14.1(3) and 9.3(4) degrees, respectively. In 2, an intramolecular hydrogen bond is observed between N9 of the ammine ligand and the noncoordinated nitrogen atom (N3) of the triazole ring (N9...N3: 2.962(10) A). 4 has a boat-form structure, and the two coordination planes cross at 83.64(10) degrees. A cytotoxicity assay of these dinuclear platinum(II) compounds on human tumor cell lines was performed. In most of the cell lines, 1 and 2 showed much higher cytotoxicity than those of cisplatin. On the other hand, 3 was found to be moderately active, and 4 was found only marginally cytotoxic. Implications of these findings are discussed in the context of a structure-activity relationship.
