Features of cisplatin-type anticancer drug adducts with nucleic acids and t
heir constituents are clouded because they exist as a fluxional mixture of
conformers. Retro-model adducts containing the specially designed chiral di
amine ligand, Bip = 2,2'-bipiperidine, are dramatically less fluxional. Con
formers of BipPtG(2) adducts with R,S,S,R and S,R,R,S asymmetric centers at
the N, C, C, and N Pip chelate ring atoms and G = 5'-GMP, 5'-dGMP, 3'-GMP,
or 9-ethylguanine are amenable to separate characterization. All possible
BipPtG(2) atropisomers (one head-to-head (HH) and Delta and Lambda head-to-
tail (HT) atropisomers) were observed by NMR spectroscopy. At equilibrium a
t low pH, one HT atroprsomer dominates. CD spectra, G H8 chemical shifts, a
nd low-pH equilibria of BipPtG(2) and Me(2)DABPtG(2) (Me(2)DAB = N,N'-dimet
hyl-2,3-diaminobutane) are similar when the chelate ring atoms have the sam
e stereochemistries; thus, Bip and Me(2)DAB Lire termed chirality-controlli
ng chelates (CCC) since these ligands dictate the absolute conformation of
die major HT rotamer. In each case, the HT conformer that cannot form G O6-
NH(CCC) hydrogen bonds was dominant, and the G H8 chemical shift indicated
that this conformer had less tilted bases, allowing favorable base-base dip
ole-dipole interactions. For both the R,S,S,R and S,R,R,S Bip chiralities o
f the BipPt(3'-GMP)(2) complexes, the percentage of Delta HT rotamer increa
sed near pH 7, a probable consequence of phosphate-cis-G hydrogen bonds acc
ompanied by favorable dipole interactions of less tilted bases. For the 5'-
GMP complexes, these factors favor the Lambda HT rotamer near pH 7. When G
has a 5'-phosphate group, rotamer distribution is also influenced by phosph
ate-NH(Bip) hydrogen bonds. At high pH, the nature and/or strength of inter
actions such as G dipole-G dipole interactions and G OS-NH(Bip) and phospha
te-cis-G hydrogen bonding are altered by G N(1)H deprotonation. The feature
s of the complexes at high pH can be largely explained as arising from the
net result of these interactions. This information from retro models with a
CCC ligand lays the foundation for understanding and evaluating the proper
ties of the highly dynamic adducts of anticancer drugs.
