Luminescent Pt II and Pt IV Platinacycles with Anticancer Activity Against Multiplatinum‐Resistant Metastatic CRC and CRPC Cell Models
Chemistry – A European Journal
Platinum-based chemotherapy persists to be the only effective therapeutic option against a wide v... more Platinum-based chemotherapy persists to be the only effective therapeutic option against a wide variety of tumours. Nevertheless, the acquisition of platinum resistance is utterly common, ultimately cornering conventional platinum drugs to only palliative in many patients. Thus, encountering alternatives that are both effective and non-cross-resistant is urgent. In this work, we report the synthesis, reduction studies and luminescent properties of a series of cyclometallated (C,N,N') PtIV compounds derived from amine-imine ligands, and their remarkable efficacy at the high nanomolar range and complete lack of cross-resistance, as an intrinsic property of the platinacycle, against multiplatinum-resistant colorectal cancer (CRC) and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) metastatic cell lines generated for this work. We have also determined that the compounds are effective and selective for a broader cancer panel, including breast and lung cancer. Additionally, selected compounds have been further evaluated, finding a shift in their antiproliferative mechanism towards more cytotoxic and less cytostatic than cisplatin against cancer cells, being also able to oxidize cysteine residues and inhibit topoisomerase II, thereby holding great promise as future improved alternatives to conventional platinum drugs.

On the stability and biological behavior of cyclometallated Pt(IV) complexes with halido and aryl ligands in the axial positions
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2016

Cathodic reduction potentials (shifting from -1.463 to -1.570V) reveal that the platinum(IV) compounds under study would be highly reluctant to be reduced in a biological environment. Actually ascorbic acid was not able to reduce complex 3a', the most prone to be reduced according its reduction potential, over a period of one week. These results suggest an intrinsic activity for the investigated platinum(IV) complexes (3a, 3a' and 3b'), which exhibit a remarkable cytotoxicity effectiveness (with IC50 values in the low micromolar range), even greater than that of cisplatin. The IC50 for A-549 lung cells and clog P values were found to follow the same trend: 3b'>3a'>3a. However, no correlation was observed between reduction potential and in vitro activity. As a representative example, cyclometallated platinum(IV) compound 3a', exercise its antiproliferative activity directly over non-microcytic A-549 lung cancer cells through a mixture of cell cycle arrest (13% arrest at G1 phase and 46% arrest at G2 phase) and apoptosis induction (increase of early apoptosis by 30 times with regard to control). To gain further insights into the mode of action of the investigated platinum(IV) complexes, drug uptake, cathepsin B inhibition and ROS generation were also evaluated. Interestingly an increased ROS generation could be related with the antiproliferative activity of the cyclometallated platinum(IV) series under study in the cisplatin-resistant A-549 lung and HCT-116 cancer cell lines.

A similar reaction for imine 2-(CF3)C6H4CH-NCH2Ph (2c) yields the cyclometallated compound [PtMe{2-(CF3)C6H3CH-NCH2Ph} (SMe2)] (3c). The reactions of these compounds with triphenylphosphine in (1 : 1) ratio produce compounds [PtMe{3-(CF3)C6H3CH-NCH2Ph}(PPh3)] (4a) and [PtMe{2-(CF3)C6H3CH-NCH2Ph}(PPh3)] (4c). The Xray structure of 4a is reported. An excess of triphenylphosphine produces metallacycle cleavage and [PtMe{3-(CF3)C6H3CH-NCHzPh}(PPh3)2] (5a) is formed with the imine acting as a [C-] unidentate ligand. Oxidative addition of methyl iodide to compounds 4a and 4c gives cyclometallated platinum(IV) complexes. Imines 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3CH=NCH2Ph (2b) and 2-F-6-(CF3)C6H3CH=NCH2Ph (2d) fail to react with [Pt2Mea(#-SMe2)2] (1).
