Three (15)N-labelled trans-Pt(ii) amine complexes with isopropylamine ((15)N-ipa), methylamine ((15)N-ma) and dimethylamine ((15)N-dma) have been prepared and characterized. 2D [(1)H,(15)N] HSQC NMR spectroscopy was used to obtain the rate and equilibrium constants for the aquation of trans-[PtCl(2)((15)N-ipa)((15)N-ma)] ((15)N-1), trans-[PtCl(2)((15)N-dma)((15)N-ma)] ((15)N-2)
A proof-of-principle study on the application of a top-down electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometric approach for characterization of the primary binding sites of the platinum anticancer agents cisplatin, transplatin, and oxaliplatin on ubiquitin is presented. Through

A novel trans-platinum(II) complex bearing one dimethylamine (dma) and one methylamine (ma) ligand, namely trans-[PtCl(2)(dma)(ma)], recently synthesised and characterised in our laboratory, displayed relevant antiproliferative properties in vitro, being more active than the parent complex, trans-[PtCl(2)(dma)(ipa)], which has isopropylamine (ipa)

Human metallothioneins, small cysteine- and metal-rich proteins, play an important role in the acquired resistance to platinum-based anticancer drugs. These proteins contain a M(II)4(CysS)11 cluster and a M(II)3(CysS)9 cluster localized in the alpha-domain and the beta-domain, respectively. The noninducible isoform

Electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry was used to analyse the reactions of metal compounds with mixtures of selected proteins. Three representative medicinally relevant compounds, cisplatin, transplatin and the organometallic ruthenium compound RAPTA-C, were reacted with a pool of three proteins, ubiquitin
