ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
We recently characterized a series of novel platinum(II) compounds bearing a
conserved O,S binding moiety as a bifunctional ligand and evaluated their
solution behavior and antiproliferative properties in vitro against a
representative cancer cell line. On the whole, those platinum compounds showed
an appreciable stability in mixed dimethyl sulfoxide-aqueous buffers and
promising in vitro cytotoxic effects; yet they manifested a rather limited
solubility in aqueous media making them poorly suitable for further
pharmaceutical development. To overcome this drawback, four new derivatives of
this series were prepared and characterized based on a careful choice of
substituents on the O,S bidentate ligand. The solubility and stability profile
of these novel compounds in a reference buffer was determined, as well as the
ligands' log Po/w value (Po/w = n-octanol-water partition coefficient) as an
indirect measure for the complexes' lipophilicity. The antiproliferative
properties were comparatively evaluated in a panel of three cancer cell lines.
The protein binding properties of the four platinum compounds were assessed
using the model protein hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL), and the molecular
structures of two relevant HEWL-metallodrug adducts were solved. Overall, it is
shown that a proper choice of the substituents leads to a higher solubility and
enables a selective fine-tuning of the antiproliferative properties. The
implications of these results are thoroughly discussed.
