Quantification of Outer-Sphere Macrochelate Formation in the Ternary cis-Diammine-Platinum(II)-Bis-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-Monophosphate Complex, cis-(NH(3))(2)Pt(dGMP)(2)(2)(-), and Formation of Quaternary Mixed Metal Ion Species with Magnesium(II), Copper(II), or Zinc(II) in Aqueous Solution.
The acid-base properties of cis-(NH(3))(2)Pt(dG)(2)(2)(-), where both dG(2)(-) (=2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate) are N7-coordinated to the same Pt(II) [the complex is abbreviated as Pt(dG)(2)(2)(-)], are summarized [on the basis of potentiometric pH titration data from B. Song et al. (Metal-Based Drugs 1996, 3, 131-141)] and a micro acidity constant scheme is developed which allows quantification of the intrinsic acidity of the two P(O)(2)(OH)(-) groups present in this ternary complex (I = 0.1 M, NaNO(3); 25 degrees C). On the basis of comparisons with the corresponding acid-base properties of cis-(NH(3))(2)Pt(dCMP.H-N3)(2) [(dCMP.H)(-) = phosphate-monoprotonated 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate] it is concluded that intramolecular, outer-sphere macrochelates form via Pt(NH(3)).O(3)P hydrogen bonds. The formation degree of these macrochelates is quantified; it amounts in aqueous solution in each case (in its lower limit) to about 40% for the various possibilities which exist for the formation of these chelates in the cis-(NH(3))(2)Pt(dG)(2) complexes. The stability constants of the mixed metal ion complexes, M[Pt(H;dG)(dG)](+) and M[Pt(dG)(2)], were also determined via potentiometric pH titrations. On the basis of previous measurements with simple phosphate monoesters and phosphonate derivatives, i.e., R-PO(3)(2)(-) with R being a noncoordinating residue (Sigel, H.; et al., Helv. Chim. Acta 1992, 75, 2634-2656), it is shown that the stability of the two mixed metal ion complexes is largely governed by the basicity of the phosphate groups (as quantified via the mentioned microconstants) indicating that the effect of the N7-bound Pt(II) on the phosphate-metal ion binding properties is relatively small. These results suggest that, e.g., a metal ion bound to a nucleobase residue in a nucleotide or in a nucleic acid affects only slightly the metal ion binding capabilities of its phosphate residue or its phosphate backbone.
