Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to synthesize and evaluate the cytotoxic activities of four platinum(II) complexes with 2-substituted or nonsubstituted 1H-benzo[d]imidazole and 1H-1,3-diazole derivatives as carrier ligands (L1-L4), which may have potent cytotoxic activity and low side effects.
Material and Method: K1-K4 complexes were synthesized by heating and mixing K2PtCl4 and the appropriate L1-L4. The chemical structures of K1-K4 were elucidated by Infrared and 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopic methods. In vitro, cytotoxic effects of K1-K4 complexes against prostate (DU-145), endometrial adenocarcinoma (Ishikawa), and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines were tested by the MTT method.
Result and Discussion: According to the IC50 values of the tested cell lines, K1 and K2 derivatives bearing unsubstituted 1H-benzo[d]imidazole (L1) and 1H-1,3-diazole (L2) were found to be the most effective compounds among these synthesized complexes.

1H-BENZO[d]İMİDAZOL VE 1H-1,3-DİAZOL TÜREVLERİ İÇEREN PLATİN(II) KOMPLEKSLERİNİN İN VİTRO SİTOTOKSİK AKTİVİTELERİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, güçlü sitotoksik aktiviteye ve düşük yan etkilere sahip olabilecek, taşıyıcı ligand olarak 2-sübstitüe veya nonsübstitüe 1H-benzo[d]imidazol ve 1H-1,3-diazol türevleri içeren dört platin(II) kompleksinin sentezlenmesi ve sitotoksik aktivitelerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: K1-K4 kompleksleri, K2PtCl4 ve uygun taşıyıcı ligandların ısıtılıp karıştırılmasıyla sentezlenmiştir. K1-K4'ün kimyasal yapıları Infrared ve 1H Nükleer Manyetik Rezonans spektroskopik yöntemleri ile aydınlatılmıştır. İn vitro olarak, K1-K4 komplekslerinin prostat (DU-145), endometrial adenokarsinom (Ishikawa) ve meme kanseri (MCF-7) hücre hatlarına karşı sitotoksik etkileri MTT yöntemi ile test edilmiştir.
Sonuç ve Tartışma: Test edilen hücre hatlarının IC50 değerlerine göre, sübstitüe olmayan 1H-benzo[d]imidazol veya 1H-1,3-diazol taşıyan K1 ve K2 türevlerinin sentezlenen bu kompleksler arasında en etkili bileşikler olduğu bulunmuştur.
