A study was undertaken to determine if cis-DDP and its second generation derivatives produced effects on mouse liver mitochondria, and if any of the observed effects could be correlated with the nephrotoxicity of the drugs. Although changes were observed in mitochondrial morphology, enzyme activity, Ca2+ influx, terbium binding and surface potential, no specific effect was correlated with nephrotoxicity. cis-DDP produced marked changes in mitochondrial morphology; electron probe analysis showed binding of the drug to the mitochondria. Inhibition of complex I and II activity of the respiratory chain and an ionic-strength-dependent effect on Tb3+ (a Ca2+ analogue) fluorescence were observed. The non-nephrotoxic derivatives, CHIP and tetraplatin, also produced significant changes in morphology. Treatment with these derivatives also produced decreases in mitochondrial enzyme activity, but the effect on terbium binding had an ionic-strength dependence which was inverse to that observed with cis-DDP. The tetravalent compounds also had a notable effect on mitochondrial surface potential. Carboplatin had an effect on morphology and Ca2+ influx and it inhibited the respiratory enzymes, although in a manner different from that observed with cis-DDP. Carboplatin had a minimal effect on terbium binding. It is evident that if the platinum drugs enter a cell to exert their action at the nuclear level, they will also depress mitochondrial function. The observed effects did not correlate with nephrotoxicity but, since all four compounds significantly altered mitochondrial structure and function, they may be related to the cytotoxicity of the drug.

The inhibition of [14C]thymidine incorporation into DNA of tumor and normal tissues of L1210-leukemia-bearing mice by single doses of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin, cis-DDP) and two newly synthesized platinum (II) complexes containing as ligands dimethyl aminomethylphosphine oxide (complex I) and methyl bis(aminomethyl)phosphine oxide (complex II) was studied and used as an indication of drug toxicity. All three complexes caused selective inhibition of precursor incorporation in L1210 cells as compared to host tissue cells. cis-DDP caused a complete block of incorporated thymidine in tumor cells during more than 48 h, whereas in intestinal mucosa and bone marrow reverse inhibition was observed. In spleen, liver and kidney the inhibition was about 50% and endured up to 96 h without reversal. Complex I treatment of L1210 cells resulted in an earlier recovery of thymidine incorporation into DNA in comparison with cis-DDP. Towards all other normal tissues compound I was less toxic than cis-DDP. Unlike cis-DDP and complex I, complex II was less active against L1210 cells and most toxic against bone marrow and kidney.

The synthesis of four mononuclear palladium complexes of general formula [Pd(en)Cl(L)]NO3 (en = ethylenediamine; L = pyridine (I), 4-methylpyridine (II), 4-hydroxypyridine (III) or 4-aminopyridine (IV) has been achieved. The structure of these compounds was studied by elemental analysis, IR, far-IR and 1H NMR; complex I was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The crystal of [Pd(en)(pyridine)Cl]NO3 is monoclinic, space group P21/c (a = 7.990(2), b = 16.058(3), c = 9.846(2) A, beta = 103.81(3) degrees, Z = 4, R = 0.067, Rw = 0.066). The Pd(II) atom exhibits an approximately square planar coordination with bond lengths in the range 2.017-2.042 A for Pd-N and 2.320 A for Pd-Cl. In order to determine the donor strength of the aromatic pyridine ligands, the stability constants of binary complex ML2+ (M = [Pd(en) (H2O)2]2+; L = pyridine, 4-Me-pyridine, 4-OH-pyridine and 4-NH2-pyridine) were determined by potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solution (T = 25 degrees C, I = 0.1 mol l-1 NaNO3). The results show that the stability constants of the binary complexes systematically increase with increasing pKa of the pyridines. The above four palladium complexes, [Pt(en)(pyridine)Cl]NO3 and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cis-DDP) were assayed for cytotoxicity in vitro against the human leukemia cell line HL-60, and compounds I, II, III and cis-DDP show significant cytotoxic activity against HL-60.

The new dipalladium complex [Pd(2)(mu-mtpo-N(3),N(4))(2)(phen)(2)](NO(3))(2) (where phen=1,10-phenantroline; Hmtpo=5,7-dihydro-7-oxo-5-methyl[1,2,4]triazolopyrimidine), (Pd(2)-Hmtpo, or complex I), interacts effectively with DNA plasmid (pBS), as studied by circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD), causing large helix distortions, altering the direction of the main DNA helix axis and producing unwinding of the DNA double helix. DNA damage induced by complex I was highly significant at 2.81 microM (ovarian carcinoma TG cell line), as assessed by comet assay, a dose at which all treated nuclei showed more than 30% DNA migration to the comet tail. DNA damage effect is a consequence of genotoxicity and not a false positive response caused by cytotoxicity. In vitro cytotoxic assay on the two human tumor cell lines TG and BT-20 (breast carcinoma), shows that doses of 0.47, 1.41 and 2.81 microM produce significant antiproliferative effects after 4 days of treatment compared with control. Complex I was highly cytotoxic at 2.81 microM causing an inhibition of viable cells of 65.5%. Cisplatin (cis-DDP) exhibits lower cytotoxic activity in TG cells than dipalladium complex (a cisplatin dose of 6.67 microM inhibits 30.3%) and does not cause migration of DNA to comet tail.
