We explored their cytotoxicity andability to bind to deoxyguanosine monophosphate (dGMP), DNA, andalbumin models. By 1H NMR and UV−vis spectroscopies, circulardichroism, agarose gel electrophoresis, differential scanning calorimetrymeasurements, and density functional theory calculations, we verified thatonly 3 can form aquacomplex species after dimethyl sulfoxide solvation;surprisingly, 1, 2, and 3 can bind covalently to DNA, whereas 4 can form a noncovalent complex. Interestingly, only complexes 1and 4 exhibit good cytotoxicity against human ovarian carcinoma (HeLa) cell line, whereas 2 and 3 are inactive. Although lungcarcinoma (A549) cells are more resistant to the four platinum complexes than HeLa cells, when the protein concentration in theextracellular media is lower, the cytotoxicity becomes substantially enhanced. By native electrophoresis of bovine seroalbumin(BSA) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry uptake studies we bear out, on one hand, that 2 and 3 can interactstrongly with BSA and its cellular uptake is negligible and, on the other hand, that 1 and 4 can interact with BSA only weakly, itscellular uptake being higher by several orders. These results point up the important role of the protein binding features on theirbiological activity and cellular uptake of cis-“PtCl2” derivatives. Our results are valuable in the future rational design of newplatinum complexes with improved biological properties, as they expose the importance not only of their DNA binding abilitiesbut also of additional factors such as protein binding.
