Abstrakt

The combretastatin A-4 analogue m-hydroxychalcone 2 was esterified with a (1-carboxyethane-2,3-diamine)dichloridoplatinum(II) fragment to give complex 6 which was more active against various cancer cell lines (IC(50) < 1 mu M) than its analogue 3 bearing a 6-aminomethylnicotinate ligand. Complex 6 bound to the same sites of DNA as cisplatin but caused a larger DNA unwinding angle and ten times more interstrand cross-links. Also, DNA lesions due to binding of 6 were only half as efficiently repaired as cisplatin-DNA adducts. Complex 6 also showed a much lower affinity to the platinum detoxifier glutathione.
