The complex, 2-amino-2-methyl-3-butanoneoximedichloroplatinum (II) [Pt(ambo
)Cl-2], was chosen because of its potential to bind to GpA sequences of dup
lex DNA. Crystals of [Pt(ambo)Cl-2] are monoclinic, space group, P2(1)/n, a
= 6.799(4), b = 17.642(5), c = 8.193(2) Angstrom, beta = 102.10(3)degrees,
Z = 4, R = 0.033 (1864 F). The binding of [Pt(ambo)Cl-2] to salmon-sperm D
NA was studied using enzymatic digestion and HPLC analysis. [Pt(ambo)Cl-2]
was found to form fewer GpG and ApG intrastrand adducts and more monofuncti
onal adducts than [Pt(en)Cl-2]. Binding to GpA sequences could not be estab
lished, but [Pt(ambo)Cl-2] forms substantially more adducts with adenine th
an does [Pt(en)Cl-2]. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
