Synthesis and DNA Interaction of Platinum Complex/Peptide Chimera as Potential Drug Candidates

Damian, Mariana S. ; Hedman, Hanna LU ; Elmroth, Sofi LU and Diederichsen, Ulf (2010) In European Journal of Organic Chemistry p.6161-6170
Abstract
Modification and optimization of the anticancer drug cisplatin is of interest with respect to selective cell targeting and DNA binding efficiency. Attractive approaches contain both, modification of the platinum coordination sphere and design of hybrid molecules of the cisplatin binding moiety including peptide motifs. Peptides with cell penetrating, directing or recognizing properties can be implemented. In this study, positively charged peptide sequences were investigated with the potential of inducing DNA structural distortions caused by charge neutralization of the dsDNA helix. Association of charged peptides is likely to increase the flexibility of the DNA thereby facilitating platinum binding. The synthesis and DNA interaction of... (More)
Modification and optimization of the anticancer drug cisplatin is of interest with respect to selective cell targeting and DNA binding efficiency. Attractive approaches contain both, modification of the platinum coordination sphere and design of hybrid molecules of the cisplatin binding moiety including peptide motifs. Peptides with cell penetrating, directing or recognizing properties can be implemented. In this study, positively charged peptide sequences were investigated with the potential of inducing DNA structural distortions caused by charge neutralization of the dsDNA helix. Association of charged peptides is likely to increase the flexibility of the DNA thereby facilitating platinum binding. The synthesis and DNA interaction of five new cisplatin-peptide hybrids with enhanced solubility and potential antitumor activity is presented. Propylenediamine or bisimidazole units were used as bisdentate platinum ligands and were coupled to a peptide sequence in the final elongation step of the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, fluorescence intercalation, and thermal UV melting studies, all support the presence of covalently formed platinum DNA adducts in a reaction mediated by the positively charged peptide.
