Starting from the active ingredient shikimic acid (SA) of traditional Chinese medicine and NH2(CH2)nOH, (n=2–6), we have synthesized a series of new water-soluble Pt(II) complexes PtLa–eCl2, where La–eare chelating diamine ligands with carbon chain covalently attached to SA (La–e= SA-NH(CH2)nNHCH2CH2NH2; La,n=2; Lb,n=3; Lc,n=4; Ld,n=5; Le,n=6). The results of the elemental analysis, LC-MS, capillary electrophoresis, and1H,13C NMR indicated that there was only one product (isomer) formed under the present experimental conditions, in which the coordinate mode of PtLa–eCl2was two-amine bidentate. Theirin vitrocytotoxic activities were evaluated by MTT method, where these compounds only exhibited low cytotoxicity towards BEL7404, which should correlate their low lipophilicity. The interactions of the five Pt(II) complexes with DNA were investigated by agarose gel electrophoresis, which suggests that the Pt(II) complexes could induce DNA alteration. We also studied the interactions of the Pt(II) complexes with5′-GMP with ESI-MS and1H NMR and found that PtLbCl2, PtLcCl2, and PtLdCl2could react with5′-GMP to form mono-GMP and bis-GMP adducts. Furthermore, the cell-cycle analysis revealed that PtLbCl2, PtLcCl2cause cell G2-phase arrest after incubation for 72 h. Overall, these water-soluble Pt(II) complexes interact with DNA mainly through covalent binding, which blocks the DNA synthesis and replication and thus induces cytotoxicity that weakens as the length of carbon chain increases.
