Abstract
The search for platinum (II)-based compounds with improved therapeutic properties was prompted to design and synthesize a new family of water-soluble, third generation cis-diaminedichloroplatinum (II) complexes linked to uracil and uridine. Six heretofore unreported uracil and uridine-platinum (II) complexes are; [N-(uracil-5-yl-methyl)ethane-1,2-di-amine]dichloroplatinum (II) (3a), [N-(uracil-6-yl-methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine] dichloroplatinum (II) (3b), {[N-(2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl)uridine-5-yl-methyl] ethane-1,2-diamine}dichloroplatinum (II) (6a), {[N-(2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl) uridine-6-yl-methyl]ethane-1,2-diamine}dichloroplatinum (II) (6b), [N-(uridine-5-yl-methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dichloroplatinum (II) (7a), [N-(uridine-6-yl- methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dichloroplatinum (II) (7b). These analogues were prepared from the key starting materials, 5-chloromethyluracil (1a) and 6-chloromethyluracil (1b) which were reacted with ethylenediamine to afford the respective 5-[(2-aminoethyl)amino] methyluracil (2a) and 6-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]methyluracil (2b). The cis-platin complexes3a and3b were obtained through the reaction of the respective2a and2b with potassium tetrachloroplatiate (II). The heterocyclic nucleic acid bases1a and1b were efficiently introduced on the β-D-ribose ring via a Vorbruggen-type nucleoside coupling procedure with hexamethyldisilazane, trimethylchlorosilane and stannic chloride under anhydrous acetonitrile to yield the stereospecific β-anomeric 5-chloromethyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (4a) and 6-chloromethyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (4b), respectively. The nucleosides4a and4b were coupled with ethylenediamine to provide the respective 5-[(amino-ethyl)amino]methyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (5a) and 6-[(aminoethyl)amino] methyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (5b). The diamino-uridines5a and5b were reacted with potassium tetrachloroplatinate (II) to give the novel nucleoside complexes,6a and6b, respectively which were deacetylated into the free nucleosides,7a and7b by the treatment with CH3ONa. The cytotoxic activities were evaluated against three cell lines (FM-3A, P-388 and J-82) and none of the synthesized compounds showed any significant activity.
