Abstract
Three Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with chelating mono(imidazolin-2-imine) and bis(imidazolin-2-imine) ligands i.e. [Pd(DMEAIm(iPr))Cl2] (1) (DMEAIm(iPr), 2-(1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolin-2-imine)ethan-1-dimethylamine), [Pd(DACH(Im(iPr))2)Cl2] (2) (DACH(Im(iPr))2, N,N'-(cyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolin-2-imine)) and [Pt(DMEAIm(iPr))Cl2] (3), are evaluated here as potential cytotoxic and anticancer agents. An acceptable solution behaviour was found for the three study compounds in terms of solubility and stability. Notably, the three metal complexes demonstrated moderate to high cytotoxic properties in selected cancer cell lines (liquid and solid tumor). To gain deeper mechanistic insight, the reactivity of the study complexes with model DNA oligos and protein molecules was investigated through spectrometric and spectroscopic methods; in both cases adduct formation was clearly documented by ESI-MS measurements. The binding of these metal complexes to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was further examined by absorption (UV-Vis) and emission spectral studies (Ethidium bromide displacement studies, EtBr). Overall, the studied complexes 1-3 exhibited a remarkable DNA binding ability that might be linked to the observed cytotoxic effects. Interestingly our results revealed that DNA binding, as well as anticancer activity of 1-3 follows the order 2>3>1. The implications of these findings are discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
