2015, Dalton transactions (Cambridge, England : 2003)

The synthesis and preliminary biological evaluation of neutral and cationic platinum derivatives of chiral 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine are reported, namely cycloplatinated neutral complexes [PtCl{(R or S)-NH2CH(CH3)C10H6}(L)] [L = SOMe2 ( or ), L = PPh3 ( or ), L = P(4-FC6H4)3 (), L = P(CH2)3N3(CH2)3 ()], cycloplatinated cationic complexes [Pt{(R)-NH2CH(CH3)C10H6}{L}]Cl [L = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2 (), L = (C6F5)2PCH2CH2P(C6F5)2 ()] and the Pt(ii) coordination compound trans-[PtCl2{(R)-NH2CH(CH3)C10H6}2] (). The X-ray molecular structure of is reported. The cytotoxic activity against a panel of human adenocarcinoma cell lines (A-549 lung, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast, and HCT-116 colon), cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, DNA interaction, topoisomerase I and cathepsin B inhibition, and Pt cell uptake of the studied compounds are presented. Remarkable cytotoxicity was observed for most of the synthesized Pt(ii) compounds regardless of (i) the absolute configuration R or S, and (ii) the coordinated/...
