Mononuclear and multinuclear platinum complexes are known to induce distinct types of DNA lesions and exhibit different profiles of antitumor activity, in relation to p53 mutational status. In this study, we investigated the cellular effects of exposure to two platinum compounds (cisplatin and the multinuclear platinum complex BBR 3464), in the osteosarcoma cell line, U2-OS, carrying the wild-type p53 gene and capable of undergoing apoptosis or cell cycle arrest in response to diverse genotoxic stresses. In spite of the ability of both compounds to up-regulate p53 at cytotoxic concentrations, exposure to BBR 3464 resulted in cell cycle arrest but only cisplatin was capable of inducing significant levels of apoptosis and phosphorylation at the Ser15 residue of p53. The cisplatin-induced protein phosphorylation, not detectable in cells treated with BBR 3464, was associated with RPA phosphorylation, a specific up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of p21(WAF1). Cells treated with BBR 3464 displayed a different cellular response with evidence of cytostasis associated with a high induction of p21(WAF1). The regulation of p21(WAF1) after cisplatin or BBR 3464 exposure required a p53 signal, as documented using stable transfectants expressing a dominant-negative form of p53 (175(his)). Taken together, these results indicate that cellular response to different genotoxic lesions (i.e. apoptosis or growth arrest) is associated with a specific recognition of DNA damage and a different p53-mediated signaling pathway. Multinuclear platinum complexes could be regarded as useful tools for investigating the p53-mediated process of cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage. 相似文献

The new antitumor trinuclear platinum compound [(trans-PtCl(NH(3))(2))(2)mu-trans-Pt(NH(3))(2)(H(2)N(CH(2))(6)NH(2))(2)](4+) (designated as BBR3464) is currently in phase II clinical trials. DNA is generally considered the major pharmacological target of platinum drugs. As such it is of considerable interest to understand the patterns of DNA damage. The bifunctional DNA binding of BBR3464 is characterized by the rapid formation of long range intra- and interstrand cross-links. We examined how the structures of the various types of the intrastrand cross-links of BBR3464 affect conformational properties of DNA, and how these adducts are recognized by high mobility group 1 protein and removed from DNA during in vitro nucleotide excision repair reactions. The results have revealed that intrastrand cross-links of BBR3464 create a local conformational distortion, but none of these cross-links results in a stable curvature. In addition, we have observed no recognition of these cross-links by high mobility group 1 proteins, but we have observed effective removal of these adducts from DNA by nucleotide excision repair. These results suggest that the processing of the intrastrand cross-links of BBR3464 in tumor cells sensitive to this drug may not be relevant to its antitumor effects. Hence, polynuclear platinum compounds apparently represent a novel class of platinum anticancer drugs acting by a different mechanism than cisplatin and its analogues. 相似文献

Cellular pharmacology of polynuclear platinum anti-cancer agents 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Study of the cellular pharmacology of the dinuclear platinum complexes, BBR3005 ([?trans-PtCl(NH3)2?2H2N(CH2)6NH2]2+), BBR3171 ([?cis-PtCl(NH3)2?2H2N(CH2)6NH2]2+) and the trinuclear platinum complex, BBR3464 ([?trans-PtCl(NH3)2?2 mu-?trans-Pt(NH3)2(H2N(CH2)6NH2)2?]4+) was undertaken in wild type and cisplatin-resistant L1210 murine leukemia cell lines. All complexes are potent cytotoxic agents against the wild type cell line. Only BBR3464 shows enhanced activity against the cisplatin-resistant cell line following a brief exposure. This enhanced activity is attributable, in part, to preserved accumulation, which contrasts with diminished accumulation of cisplatin and both dinuclear platinum complexes. The cisplatin-resistant cell line is relatively tolerant of DNA adducts induced by both cisplatin and BBR3464, but BBR3464 is much less affected. All complexes induce DNA interstrand cross-links. Di/trinuclear complex-induced interstrand cross-linking peaks early, suggesting rapid genomic access and interaction. Subsequent decay suggests susceptibility to DNA repair mechanisms. Peak and area-under-the-curve values for interstrand cross-linking among the complexes correlate poorly with cytotoxic effects, especially in the cisplatin-resistant cell line. This suggests that all interstrand cross-linking adducts are not equal in their cytotoxic effect, or other, non-interstrand cross-linking adducts are significant. BBR3464 has been selected for clinical development largely on the basis of results from in vivo activity and toxicity studies. These results show BBR3464 to have unique properties in the context of acquired cisplatin-resistance that enhance its candidacy as a potential anticancer agent. 相似文献

The DNA-binding profile of a novel, trinuclear platinum Phase I clinical agent (BBR3464) is summarized. The structure of BBR3464 is best described as two trans-[PtCl(NH3)2] units linked by a tetra-amine [trans-Pt(NH3)2{H2N(CH2)6NH2}2]2+ unit. The +4 charge of BBR3464, the presence of at least two Pt coordination units capable of binding to DNA, and the consequences of such DNA binding are remarkable departures from the cisplatin structural paradigm. The chemical and biological features argue that the drug should be considered the first clinical representative of an entirely new structural class of DNA-modifying anticancer agents. The high charge on BBR3464 facilitates rapid binding to DNA with a t1/2 of approximately 40 min, significantly faster than the neutral cisplatin. The melting temperature of DNA adducted by BBR3464 increased at low ionic strength but decreased in high salt for the same rb. This unusual behavior is in contrast to that of cisplatin. BBR3464 produces an unwinding angle of 14 degrees in negatively supercoiled pSP73 plasmid DNA, indicative of bifunctional DNA binding. Quantitation of interstrand DNA-DNA cross-linking in plasmid pSP73 DNA linearized by EcoRI indicated approximately 20% of the DNA to be interstrand cross-linked. While this is significantly higher than the value for cisplatin, it is, interestingly, lower than that for dinuclear platinum compounds such as [{trans-PtCl(NH3)2}2H2N(CH2)6NH2]2+ (BBR3005) where interstrand cross-linking efficiency may be as high as 70-90%. Either the presence of charge in the linker backbone or the increased distance between platinating moieties may contribute to this relatively decreased ability of BBR3464 to induce DNA interstrand cross-linking. Fluorescence experiments with ethidium bromide were consistent with the formation of long-range delocalized lesions on DNA produced by BBR3464. The sequence preference for BBR3464 on plasmid DNA was determined to the exact base pair by assaying extension of the polynucleotide by VentR(exo+) DNA polymerase. Strong sequence preference for single dG or d(GG) sites was suggested. The presence of relatively few blocks on DNA in comparison to either cisplatin or BBR3005 was indicative of high sequence selectivity. The following appropriate sequence where stop sites occur was chosen: [sequence: see text] molecular modeling on 1,4 interstrand (G'30 to G33) and 1,5 intrastrand (G33 to G29) cross-links further confirmed the similarity in energy between the two forms of cross-link. Finally, immunochemical analysis confirmed the unique nature of the DNA adducts formed by BBR3464. This analysis showed that antibodies raised to cisplatin-adducted DNA did not recognize DNA modified by BBR3464. In contrast, DNA modified by BBR3464 inhibited the binding of antibodies raised to transplatin-adducted DNA. Thus, the bifunctional binding of BBR3464 contains few similarities to that of cisplatin but may have a subset of adducts recognized as being similar to the transplatinum species. In summary, the results point to a unique profile of DNA binding for BBR3464, strengthening the original hypothesis that modification of DNA binding in manners distinct from that of cisplatin will also lead to a distinct and unique profile of antitumor activity. 相似文献

BBR3464, a charged trinuclear platinum compound, is the first representative of a new class of anticancer drugs to enter phase I clinical trials. The structure of BBR3464 is characterized by two [trans-PtCl(NH(3))(2)] units linked by a tetraamine [trans-Pt(NH(3))(2)?H(2)N(CH(2))(6)NH(2)?(2)] unit. The +4 charge of BBR3464 and the separation of the platinating units indicate that the mode of DNA binding will be distinctly different from those of classical mononuclear drugs such as cisplatin, cis-[PtCl(2)(NH(3))(2)]. The reaction of BBR3464 with three different nucleic acid conformations was assessed by gel electrophoresis. Comparison of single-stranded DNA, RNA, and double-stranded DNA indicated that the reaction of BBR3464 with single-stranded DNA and RNA was faster than that with duplex DNA, and produced more drug-DNA and drug-RNA adducts. Electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry was used to further characterize the binding modes of BBR3464 with the DNA substrates. BBR3464 binding to different nucleic acid conformations raises the possibility that the adducts of single-stranded DNA and RNA may play a role in the different antitumor efficacies of this novel drug as compared with cisplatin. 相似文献

Cisplatin, a mononuclear platinum compound, which is known as a cancer drug for long time, can exhibit considerable side effects and is also not effective in many types of cancer. Therefore, the alternative platinum anticancer agents that can act at a much lower dose limit compared to the dose relevant for cisplatin treatment have been searched for. BBR3464, a trinuclear platinum compound, is found to exhibit cytotoxic effects at 10 to 1000 times lower dose limit, even in cisplatin-resistant cancer cells. The primary cellular target for cisplatin and BBR3464 is thought to be DNA. Herein, we report the nature of DNA structural changes that are induced by cisplatin and BBR3464, considering the same DNA sequence and similar sample deposition methods for comparison purpose. We have applied high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) in order to obtain an idea about the molecular basis of BBR3464's effectiveness at the lower dose limit. We show from the molecularly resolved AFM images that both the compounds can compact the whole dsDNA molecules, though the degree of compaction in case of BBR3464 treatment is significantly higher. Furthermore, local compaction in terms of loop structure formation could be induced by both BBR3464 and cisplatin, though BBR3464 generated microloops and macroloops both, whereas cisplatin could generate primarily the microloops. It is a significant observation that BBR3464 could induce relatively drastic DNA structural changes in terms of loop formation as well as overall DNA compaction at a molar ratio, which is 50 times less than that applied for cisplatin treatment. Implications of such structural changes in cytotoxic effects of the platinum anticancer agents will be mentioned. 相似文献

The p53 gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein that is biologically activated in response to genotoxic stresses including treatment with anticancer platinum drugs. The DNA binding activity of p53 protein is crucial for its tumor suppressor function. DNA interactions of active wild-type human p53 protein with DNA fragments and oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes modified by antitumor cisplatin and its clinically ineffective trans isomer (transplatin) were investigated by using a gel mobility shift assay. It was found that DNA adducts of cisplatin reduced binding affinity of the consensus DNA sequence to p53, whereas transplatin adducts did not. This result was interpreted to mean that the precise steric fit required for the formation and stability of the tetrameric complex of p53 with the consensus sequence cannot be attained, as a consequence of severe conformational perturbations induced in DNA by cisplatin adducts. The results also demonstrate an increase of the binding affinity of p53 to DNA lacking the consensus sequence and modified by cisplatin but not by transplatin. In addition, only major 1,2-GG intrastrand cross-links of cisplatin are responsible for this enhanced binding affinity of p53. The data base on structures of various DNA adducts of cisplatin and transplatin reveals distinctive structural features of 1,2-intrastrand cross-links of cisplatin, suggesting a unique role for this adduct in the binding of p53 to DNA lacking the consensus sequence. The results support the hypothesis that the mechanism of antitumor activity of cisplatin may also be associated with its efficiency to affect the binding affinity of platinated DNA to active p53 protein. 相似文献

Multinuclear platinum compounds have been designed to circumvent the cellular resistance to conventional mononuclear platinum-based drugs. In this study we performed a comparative study of cisplatin and of the triplatinum complex BBR 3464 in a human osteosarcoma cell system (U2-OS) including an in vitro selected cisplatin-resistant subline (U2-OS/Pt). BBR 3464 was extremely potent in comparison with cisplatin in U2-OS cells and completely overcame resistance of U2-OS/Pt cells. In both cell lines, BBR 3464 accumulation and DNA-bound platinum were higher than those observed for cisplatin. On the contrary, a low frequency of interstrand cross-links after exposure to BBR 3464 was found. Differently from the increase of DNA lesions induced by cisplatin, kinetics studies indicated a low persistence of interstrand cross-link formation for BBR 3464. Western blot analysis of DNA mismatch repair proteins revealed a marked decrease of expression of PMS2 in U2-OS/Pt cells, which also exhibited microsatellite instability. Studies on DNA mismatch repair deficient and proficient colon carcinoma cells were consistent with a lack of influence of the DNA mismatch repair status on BBR 3464 cytotoxicity. In conclusion, the cytotoxic potency and the ability of the triplatinum complex to overcome cisplatin resistance appear to be related to a different mechanism of DNA interaction (formation of different types of drug-induced DNA lesions) as compared to conventional mononuclear complexes. 相似文献

The novel phase II antitumor polynuclear platinum drug BBR3464 ([(trans-PtCl(NH(3))(2))(2)(mu-trans-Pt(NH(3))(2)(NH(2)(CH(2))(6)NH(2))(2))](NO(3))(4)) forms intra- and interstrand cross-links (CLs) on DNA (which is the pharmacological target of platinum drugs). We examined first in our recent work how various intrastrand CLs of BBR3464 affect the conformation of DNA and its recognition by cellular components (Zehnulova, J., Kasparkova, J., Farrell, N., and Brabec, V. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 22191-22199). In the present work, we have extended the studies on the DNA interstrand CLs of this drug. The results have revealed that the interstrand CLs are preferentially formed between guanine residues separated by 2 base pairs in both the 3' --> 3' and 5' --> 5' directions. The major 1,4-interstrand CLs distort DNA, inducing a directional bending of the helix axis and local unwinding of the duplex. Although such distortions represent a potential structural motif for recognition by high mobility group proteins, these proteins do not recognize 1,4-interstrand CLs of BBR3464. On the other hand, in contrast to intrastrand adducts of BBR3464, 1,4-interstrand CLs are not removed from DNA by nucleotide excision repair. It has been suggested that interstrand CLs of BBR3464 could persist considerably longer in cells compared with intrastrand adducts, which would potentiate the toxicity of the interstrand lesions to tumors sensitive to this polynuclear drug. 相似文献

The antitumor activity of the trinuclear Phase I clinical agent, BBR3464, is matched by that of polyamine-linked dinuclear complexes. The cytotoxicity and cellular accumulation of three polynuclear platinum complexes: [?trans-PtCl(NH3)2?2 mu-?trans-Pt(NH3)2(H2N(CH2)6-NH2)2?]4+ (BBR3464), [?trans-PtCl(NH3)2?2(H2N(CH2)3NH2(CH2)4NH2)]3+ (BBR3571), and [?trans-PtCl(NH3)2?2(H2N(CH2)6-NH2)]2+ (BBR3005), were studied in a series of murine L1210 cell lines and compared with cisplatin. Besides murine L1210 cell lines sensitive (/0) and resistant (/DDP) to cisplatin, the efficacy of the compounds in a cell line rendered resistant to BBR3464 (/3464) was examined. Finally, to examine possible uptake pathways of these novel charged complexes, cytotoxicity in a cell line resistant to the polyamine synthesis inhibitor, methylglyoxal-bis(guanylhydrazone) (/MGBG), was studied. Cytotoxicity profiles of BBR3571 most closely matched that of BBR3464. Both agents showed significantly reduced cytotoxicity in L1210/ BBR3464. The cytotoxicity of neither agent was affected by the polyamine uptake-deficient cell line and indeed both complexes showed significantly enhanced cytotoxicity in L1210/MGBG relative to wild-type L1210/0. The cellular uptake of both BBR3464 and BBR3571 was enhanced in L1210/DDP. These studies suggest that the chemical feature of a diamine linker containing an internal charge contributes significantly to the anticancer profiles of both the trinuclear platinum complex, BBR3464, which incorporates a charged platinum into a diamine linker, and the dinuclear platinum complex, BBR3571, which incorporates only a naturally occurring polyamine as diamine linker. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Mononuclear platinum anticancer agents hold a pivotal place in the treatment of many forms of cancers, however, there is a potential to improve response to evade resistance development and toxic side effects. BBR3464 is a promising trinuclear platinum anticancer agent, which is a polyamine mimic. The aim was to investigate the influence of polyamine pool reduction on the cytotoxic effects of the trinuclear platinum complex BBR3464 and cisplatin. Polyamine pool reduction was achieved by treating cells with either the polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) or the polyamine analogue N1,N11-diethylnorspermine (DENSPM). METHODS: A human squamous cell carcinoma cell line, LU-HNSCC-4, established from a primary head and neck tumour was used to evaluate cellular effects of each drug alone or combinations thereof. High-performance liquid-chromatography was used to quantify intracellular polyamine contents. Inductively coupled mass spectroscopy was used to quantify intracellular platinum uptake. Cells were exposed to DFMO or DENSPM during 48 h at concentrations ranging from 0 to 5 mM or 0 to 10 muM, respectively. Thereafter, non-treated and treated cells were exposed to cisplatin or BBR3464 during 1 h at concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 muM. A 96-well assay was used to determine cytotoxicity after five days after treatment. RESULTS: The cytotoxic effect of BBR3464 on LU-HNSCC-4 cells was increased after cells were pre-treated with DENSPM or DFMO, and the interaction was found to be synergistic. In contrast, the interaction between cisplatin and DFMO or DENSPM was near-additive to antagonistic. The intracellular levels of the polyamines putrescine and spermidine were decreased after treatment with DFMO, and treatment with DENSPM resulted in an increase in putrescine level and concomitant decrease in spermidine and spermine levels. The uptake of BBR3464 was significantly increased after pre-treatment of the cells with DFMO, and varied dependent on the concentration of DENSPM. The uptake of cisplatin was unchanged. Conclusions: Taken together, these results demonstrate that combinations of polyamine synthesis inhibitors with BBR3464 appear to be a promising approach to enhance the anticancer activity against HSCC. 相似文献

BBR3464 is a trinuclear platinum compound of formula [{trans-PtCl(NH3)2}2-μ-trans-Pt(NH3)2{NH2(CH2)6NH2}2]4+. It is a new-generation platinum chemotherapeutic agent that exhibits cytotoxicity at ten to thousand times lower dose limit compared to the well-known platinum drug cisplatin, in cisplatin-sensitive as well as in cisplatin-resistant cells. DNA is thought to be the primary cellular target of BBR3464. In this work, we have applied high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the first time, to obtain direct information on BBR3464-induced structural changes of DNA. It is found that the DNA molecules get compacted after treatment with BBR3464, for the drug:DNA molar ratio and the drug treatment period of 0.01 and 48 h, respectively. These values of molar ratio and incubation period have been obtained previously, as a result of biochemical optimization studies carried out for achieving maximum drug effects. The DNA structural changes, as observed in AFM topographs, have been correlated to the bulk level spectroscopic information. A remark on the significance of BBR3464-induced DNA compaction with respect to the available AFM reports on DNA modification by cisplatin has been made. 相似文献

trans-[PtCl(2)NH(3)(4-Hydroxymethylpyridine)] (trans-PtHMP) is an analogue of clinically ineffective transplatin, which is cytotoxic in the human leukemia cancer cell line. As DNA is a major pharmacological target of antitumor platinum compounds, modifications of DNA by trans-PtHMP and recognition of these modifications by active tumor suppressor protein p53 were studied in cell-free media using the methods of molecular biology and biophysics. Our results demonstrate that the replacement of the NH(3) group in transplatin by the 4-hydroxymethylpyridine ligand affects the character of DNA adducts of parent transplatin. The binding of trans-PtHMP is slower, although equally sequence-specific. This platinum complex also forms on double-stranded DNA stable intrastrand and interstrand cross-links, which distort DNA conformation in a unique way. The most pronounced conformational alterations are associated with a local DNA unwinding, which was considerably higher than those produced by other bifunctional platinum compounds. DNA adducts of trans-PtHMP also reduce the affinity of the p53 protein to its consensus DNA sequence. Thus, downstream effects modulated by recognition and binding of p53 protein to DNA distorted by trans-PtHMP and transplatin are not likely to be the same. It has been suggested that these different effects may contribute to different antitumor effects of these two transplatinum compounds. 相似文献

The novel phase II anticancer drug BBR3464 ([[ trans-PtCl(NH(3))(2)](2)- micro -[ trans-Pt(NH(3))(2)(NH(2)(CH(2))(6)NH(2))(2)]](NO(3))(4)) forms a 1,4-interstrand cross-link adduct with the self-complementary DNA octamer 5'-d(ATG*TACAT)(2)-3', with the two platinum atoms coordinated in the major groove at the N7 positions of guanines that are four base pairs apart on opposite DNA strands. The "central" tetraamine linker [ trans-H(2)N(CH(2))(6)NH(2)Pt(NH(3))(2)NH(2)(CH(2))(6)NH(2)] was located in or close to the minor groove. The adduct was characterized and analyzed by MS, UV and NMR spectroscopy. NMR analysis of the adduct shows strong H8/H1' intraresidue crosspeaks observed for the A1 and A7 resonances, consistent with a syn conformation for these bases which is usually not observed for adenine residues and bases not directly involved in the cross-link in oligonucleotides. The strong intraresidue H8/H1' crosspeak is also observed for G3. Examination of the structure thus reveals unusual cooperative effects unique to this class of anticancer drugs and is the first demonstration of cooperative effects in solution for an anticancer drug. The significant characteristic of the structure is the lack of severe DNA distortion such as a kink, directed bend or significant unwinding of the helices which are characteristic for DNA adducts of mononuclear complexes. This may contribute to the lack of protein recognition of the cross-link by HMG-domain proteins, a biological consequence significantly different from that of mononuclear complexes such as cisplatin. Since DNA is the principal target in vivo for these Pt cross-linking agents, the unique structural perturbations induced by BBR3464 cross-links are likely related to its increased cytotoxicity and antitumor activity as compared to cisplatin ( cis-DDP). 相似文献

Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) footprinting methodology was used to analyze oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes containing unique and single, site-specific adducts of trinuclear bifunctional platinum compound, [{trans-PtCl(NH3)2}2 mu-trans-Pt(NH3)2{H2N(CH2)6NH2}2]4+ (BBR3464) and the results were compared with DNase I footprints of some adducts of conventional mononuclear cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin). These examinations took into account the fact that the local conformation of the DNA at the sites of the contacts of DNase I with DNA phosphates, such as the minor groove width and depth, sequence-dependent flexibility and bendability of the double helix, are important determinants of sequence-dependent binding to and cutting of DNA by DNase I. It was shown that various conformational perturbations induced by platinum binding in the major groove translated into the minor groove, allowing their detection by DNase I probing. The results also demonstrate the very high sensitivity of DNase I to DNA conformational alterations induced by platinum complexes so that the platinum adducts which induce specific local conformational alterations in DNA are differently recognized by DNase I. 相似文献

The trinuclear BBR3464 ([{trans-PtCl(NH3)2}2µ-(trans-Pt(NH3)2(H2N(CH2)6NH2)2)]4+) belongs to the polynuclear class of platinum-based anticancer agents. DNA adducts of this complex differ significantly in structure and type from those of clinically used mononuclear platinum complexes, especially, long-range (Pt, Pt) intrastrand and interstrand cross-links are formed in both 5′–5′ and 3′–3′ orientations. We show employing short oligonucleotide duplexes containing single, site-specific cross-links of BBR3464 and gel electrophoresis that in contrast to major DNA adducts of clinically used platinum complexes, under physiological conditions the coordination bonds between platinum and N7 of G residues involved in the cross-links of BBR3464 can be cleaved. This cleavage may lead to the linkage isomerization reactions between this metallodrug and double-helical DNA. Differential scanning calorimetry of duplexes containing single, site-specific cross-links of BBR3464 reveals that one of the driving forces that leads to the lability of DNA cross-links of this metallodrug is a difference between the thermodynamic destabilization induced by the cross-link and by the adduct into which it could isomerize. The rearrangements may proceed in the way that cross-links originally formed in one strand of DNA can spontaneously translocate from one DNA strand to its complementary counterpart, which may evoke walking of the platinum complex on DNA molecule. 相似文献

Polynuclear platinum compounds comprise a unique class of anticancer agents with chemical and biological properties different from mononuclear platinum drugs. The lead compound of this class is bifunctional trinuclear platinum complex [[trans-PtCl(NH(3))(2)](2)mu-trans-Pt(NH(3))(2)[H(2)N(CH(2))(6)NH(2)](2)](4+) (1,0,1/t,t,t, BBR 3464). Interestingly, the geometry of the coordination spheres in this compound affects potency. For example, the central cis unit of [[trans-PtCl(NH(3))(2)](2)mu-cis-Pt(NH(3))(2)[H(2)N(CH(2))(6)NH(2)](2)](4+) (1,0,1/t,c,t, BBR 3499) results in substantially reduced cytotoxicity. It has been shown that the interactions of polynuclear platinum drugs with target DNA are distinct from the mononuclear-based cisplatin family. In the present work the DNA binding of 1,0,1/t,c,t in cell-free media was examined by the methods of molecular biophysics and compared to the binding of 1,0,1/t,t,t. The binding of 1,0,1/t,c,t is slower and less sequence specific. 1,0,1/t,c,t also forms on DNA long-range delocalized intrastrand and interstrand cross-links similarly as 1,0,1/t,t,t, although the frequency of interstrand adducts is markedly enhanced. Importantly, the adducts of 1,0,1/t,c,t distort DNA conformation and are repaired by cell-free extracts considerably more than the adducts of 1,0,1/t,t,t. It has been suggested that the unique properties of long-range interstrand cross-links of bifunctional trinuclear platinum complexes and resulting conformational alterations in DNA have critical consequences for their antitumor effects. 相似文献
