The ability of square-planar platinum (ii) complexes to covalently bind to cellular DNA and distort its structure has had an overwhelming impact on the lives of many cancer patients worldwide. The anticancer drug cisplatin (Figure 1 a), exerts its cytotoxic effect by binding covalently to two adjacent guanine residues on the same DNA strand (1, 2-GpG cross-link), and the ensuing distortion of the DNA, triggers cellular processes that lead to the death of the cancer cell.[1, 2] The two crucial properties of cisplatin that make it an efficient anticancer agent are its inertness that enables it to survive the onslaught of the plethora of platinophiles in the extra-and intracellular fluids on the way to the DNA, and its ability to distort the DNA.[3, 4] Cisplatin is an extremely effective anticancer agent, whose clinical success is marred by the ability of tumors to acquire resistance to the drug. One approach to try and overcome the acquired resistance to cisplatin was to prepare platinum (ii) complexes having trans geometry that are incapable of binding two adjacent guanines on the same strand, so they end up forming other lesions with the DNA and distort it differently than cisplatin. Transplatin itself (Figure 1 b) is not cytotoxic, yet, several classes of transplatinum complexes with planar heterocyclic amine ligands, bulky aliphatic amine ligands or iminoether ligands, or nonplanar heterocyclic amine ligands have displayed a variety of DNA binding properties as well as impressive cytotoxic properties.[5–11]We have recently reported on the preparation, cytotoxicity and the DNA-binding properties of trans-platinum complexes with piperazine (pz) and piperidine (pip) ligands (Figure 1c and d), which circumvent cisplatin resistance in human ovarian cancer cell lines.[12, 13] Piperazine was selected as a ligand because we wanted a soluble, cationic, trans-platinum complex that will not only covalently modify the DNA, but in addition, the ligand itself will interact with the DNA at a second site which is removed from the PtII modification site. As a natural extension of this rationale, we have recently prepared the complex trans-[PtCl2 (NH3)(pip-pip)]· HCl (1),[14] and now we report its X-ray crystal structure and some of its DNA-binding and pharmacological properties. X-ray quality crystals were obtained by slow evaporation from aqueous solution (Figure 2a).[15] The conformation of the two piperidine rings together with the molecular dimensions are depicted in Figure 2b. Structurally, we can divide the molecule into three parts: 1) the platinum (ii) coordination sphere, 2) the first piperidine ring, and 3) the second piperidine ring. The platinum forms the usual square-planar coordination geometry with the PtÀCl bond lengths around 2.30 and the PtÀN bonds around 2.06.
