De Novo Generation of Singlet Oxygen and Ammine Ligands by Photoactivation of a Platinum Anticancer Complex**
نویسندگان
چکیده
Worth the excitement: Highly reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are generated by photoactivation of the anticancer platinum(IV) complex trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3 )2 (OH)2 (MA)(Py)] (MA=methylamine, Py=pyridine). Singlet oxygen is formed from the hydroxido ligands and not from dissolved oxygen, and ammine ligands are products from the conversion of azido ligands to nitrenes. Both processes can induce oxidation of guanine.

Background and Objectives: Transition metal complexes possess a variety of biological and pharmacological activities, such as antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and free radical scavenging. Many studies have been carried out on platinum-based chemotherapy agents, however, most attention has been paid to non-platinum metal-based agents in order to find different metal comp...

The limitations associated with the clinical utility of conventional platinum anticancer drugs have stimulated research leading to the design of new metallodrugs with improved pharmacological properties, particularly with increased selectivity for cancer cells. Very recent research has demonstrated that photoactivation or photopotentiation of platinum drugs can be one of the promising approache...
متن کاملSynthesis of Cis-Diammine (1,1-cyclobutane dicarboxylate) Platinum(II)
Platinum-based anticancer drugs are chemotherapeutic agents to treat cancer. Carboplatin (cis diammine cyclobutane dicarboxylate platinum (II)) is a second generation drug that has less toxic than cisplatin, allowing for high dosages. In the first stage, 1,3-Cyclobutane dicarboxylic acid, a key intermediate for the preparation of carboplatin, have been synthesized in good yields using diffe...

Premature aging of the skin is a prominent side effect of psoralen photoactivation, a treatment used widely for various skin disorders. The molecular mechanisms underlying premature aging upon psoralen photoactivation are as yet unknown. Here we show that treatment of fibroblasts with 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and subsequent ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation resulted in a permanent switch of mito...
