cisplatin 1 + 2 Flashcards
Rosenbergs results
- under normal condition, the e coli rods were short
- when the field was turned on, bacteria appeared w very long filaments ( 300 times their usual length )
- cell division was inhibited but cell growth wasn’t aka the rna and protein synthesis were functional
[Pt(Cl)6]2- is a
-octahedra metal complex of pt (IV) and pt (ii ) is square planer and both are 3rd raw d block.
[Pt(Cl)6]2- is formed bc
cl2 oxidised the pt electrode
the cis [Pt(Cl)6]2- what caused the inhibition of cell division
Where did [Pt(NH3)2(Cl)4]2- come from and what is it?
In the presence of light and NH4+ the following reaction
occurs:
[Pt(Cl)6]2- + NH4+ cis-[Pt(NH3)2(Cl)4 ] + 2HCl
the properties of cisplatin
- square planer
- 2 cl- ligands and 2 nh3 ligands in cis
- overall complex is neutral
- oxidation state : 2
- lipophilic to cross the cell membrane .
reduces the size of the tumour at lower than toxic doses
cisplatin
cis platins anti tumor activity includes :
- active for chemically, virally, and transplanted tumours
- tumors in mice to be cured
- broad spectrum of anti cancer activities as: testicular, ovarian, head, neck, and bladder
cisplatin side effects
- nausea
- alopecia aka hair loss
- myelosupperssion (25-30%) - bone marrow and toxic to blood
- the WORST : nerphotoxicty aka kidney damage
- ototoxisty - ear and neural component
cisplatin caused
renaissance in inorganic chemistry and its an example of serendipity
cisplatin in combination chemotherapy
cisplatin ( platinol ) used w combination of drugs as vinblastin and bleomycin.
cisplatin administration
-administered intravenously every 3-4 weeks in single doses of 50-120 mg per m2 body surface
or 15-20 mg per m2 daily for 5 days.
Lower doses are required in combination chemotherapy.
- It is injected in 2 litre NaCl (0.9%) or Glucose (4%) + NaCl
(0.18%) solutions and infused over 6-8 hours. These are
isotonic saline solutions.
- Mannitol (a diuretic) is added to protect the kidneys and
the patient is usually hydrated before administration of cisplatin
cisplatin dna crosslink
- intrastrand
( 65%) w/ g and g
(25%) guanine w Adenine
-monoaducts w one g - interstrand ( less than 1%) w 2 guanines
- protein dna crosslink
dna is the target of cisplatin which forms
( mechanism of action ) intrastrand crosslink , after cisplatin enters the cell the cl ligand ( since cl is low inside of the cell) will be replaced w aqueous ligand aka the hydrolysis and then they will be replaced by nitrogen base of dna. this causes a kink in the dna which is not recognised by dna repair proteins = apoptosis
high mobility groups ( HMG) have
-high affinity for cisplatin modified dna
- affinity is up to 100 times that for unmodified due to the structural resemblance of modified dna double helix as binding site for these proteins
- HMG increases cisplatin cytotoxicity by binding at the site of modification and obstructing the cellular excision repair.
why is transplstin is inactive
- Hydrolysis of ‘transplatin’ like cisplatin involves replacement of the Cl- ligands by H2O but not the NH3 ligands (these are very difficult to replace).
- When one of the H2O ligands is replaced by the guanine (DNA) nitrogen (red) the other H2O ligand is not in the correct position to be replaced by the second guanine N to form an intrastrand adduct similar to that formed by cisplatin. There is an NH3 in the way.
disadvantages of cisplatin
- some cancer cells have developed resisiatxne
- highly toxic to kidney and GI tract
- inactive against some cancer as: breast, colon, lungs
