چکیده

As propriedades antitumorais de complexos de Pt e as características favoráveis das tetraciclinas levaram-nos a estudar compostos de Pt da tetraciclina (tc) e doxiciclina (dox) como candidatos a agentes antitumorais. [PtCl 2 (dox)], 1, é mais potente que [PtCl 2 (tc)], 2, em inibir o crescimento de células de leucemia mielóide crônica. Os compostos 1 e 2 formam um complexo ternário com o ADN com valores de K iguais a 3,85×10 e 5,43×10, respectivamente. Os complexos deslocam o brometo de etídeo dos sítios no ADN, o que indica um mecanismo intercalativo. Ambos os complexos diminuem a mobilidade eletroforética e a temperatura de fusão do ADN. Após a incubação das células com 1 e 2, o ADN foi extraído e os adutos formados foram quantificados. Na concentração em que os compostos são citotóxicos contra células cancerosas, eles não afetam a viabilidade de macrófagos. A velocidade de entrada do complexo da doxiciclina nas células é três vezes maior do que a do complexo da tetraciclina e isto parece ser determinante para a sua maior atividade.

Effects of Vitamin K3 on Cytotoxicity and DNA-binding Properties of a Palladium(II) Complex as a Potential Antitumor Agent

In many diseases such as cancer, simultaneous use of two or more pharmacologically active agents will be more effective and have fewer side effects. In this study a new palladium(II) complex with formula of [Pd(phen)(py-dtc)]NO3 (where is phen 1,10-phenanthroline and py-dtc is n-propyldithiocarbamate), was synthesized. The cytotoxic activity of this complex was tested against leukemia K562 cell...
