Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To construct a structure-activity relationship, twenty-two derivatives of highly in vivo anticancer-active tetrazolato-bridged dinuclear platinum(II) complex were synthesized with variable substituents at tetrazolate C5. Most derivatives were found to be highly in vitro cytotoxic and to circumvent cross-resistance to cisplatin, which is the representative of platinum-based drugs. In addition, the cytotoxicity fingerprints of some derivatives based on the JFCR39 cytotoxicity data were completely different from those of clinical platinum-based anticancer drugs, as well as other anticancer agents. The terazolato-bridged complexes efficiently induce B to C DNA transformation of calf-thymus DNA and compaction of T4 phage DNA. The second- and higher-order structural changes cannot be observed in case of platinum-based drugs. Therefore, tetrazolato-bridged complexes are likely to exhibit cytotoxicity with a novel mechanism of action probably due to the unique interactions with DNA.
