Herein, two photosensitive platinum(II)-based tripods were designed and synthesized. Notably, complex 1 ({[Pt(dien)] L}(NO ) , L=tri(4-pyridylphenyl)amine and dien=diethylenetriamine), which mainly accumulated in the cell nucleus, exhibited very low cytotoxicity in the absence of light irradiation, but displayed a remarkable increase in cytotoxicity upon visible light irradiation. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the tripod interacted with DNA in the nucleus, induced ROS generation upon light irradiation, and consequently elicited rapid DNA damage response; thereby triggering cancer cell apoptosis.
在此,设计并合成了两种基于光敏铂(II)的三脚架化合物。值得注意的是,配合物1({[Pt(二乙三胺)]L}(NO₃)₂,L = 三(4 - 吡啶基苯基)胺,二乙三胺 = 二乙烯三胺)主要积聚在细胞核中,在无光照时表现出非常低的细胞毒性,但在可见光照射下细胞毒性显著增加。机理研究表明,该三脚架化合物与细胞核中的DNA相互作用,光照时诱导活性氧生成,进而引发快速的DNA损伤反应;从而触发癌细胞凋亡。
