Cationic monofunctional DNA-binding platinum (II) complex with significantly greater anticancer activity than cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and pyriplatin.
Phenanthriplatin is a cationic monofunctional DNA-binding platinum (II) complex with significantly greater anticancer activity (IC50 in μM = 0.035/Ntera2, 0.22/A549, 0.30/HeLa, 0.59/U2OS, 0.74/PC3, 0.94/MCF7, 2.02/HT29; 72 h, MTT assay) than cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and pyriplatin. Enhanced cellular uptake due to its hydrophobic phenanthridine ligand as well as more rapid DNA covalent-binding activity both contribute to its superior anticancer efficacy. Phenanthriplatin binds more effectively to 5′-deoxyguanosine monophosphate than to N-acetyl methionine, whereas pyriplatin reacts equally to both.

Efficient loading of drugs in novel delivery agents has the potential to substantially improve therapy by targeting the diseased tissue while avoiding unwanted side effects. Here we report the first systematic study of the loading mechanism of phenanthriplatin and its

Transcription inhibition by platinum anticancer drugs is an important component of their mechanism of action. Phenanthriplatin, a cisplatin derivative containing phenanthridine in place of one of the chloride ligands, forms highly potent monofunctional adducts on DNA having a structure and
Cancer treatment with platinum compounds is an important achievement of modern chemotherapy. However, despite the beneficial effects, the clinical impact of these agents is hampered by the development of drug resistance as well as dose-limiting side effects. The efficacy but
Using primary melanocytes and HEK293 cells, we found that cAMP signaling accelerates repair of bi- and mono-functional platinum-induced DNA damage. Elevating cAMP signaling either by the agonistic MC1R ligand melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) or by pharmacologic cAMP induction by forskolin
