    Novel Pt(ii) Complexes Containing Pyrrole Oxime, Synthesis, Characterization and Dna Binding Studies
    (Elsevier, 2014) Erdogan, Deniz Altunoz; Ozalp-Yaman, Seniz
    Since the discovery of anticancer activity and subsequent clinical success of cisplatin (cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(2)]), platinum-based compounds have since been widely synthesized and studied as potential chemotherapeutic agents. In this sense, three novel nuclease active Pt(II) complexes with general formula; [Pt(NH3)CI(L)] (1), [Pt(L)(2)] (2), and K[PtCl2(L)] (3) in which L is 1-H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde oxime were synthesized. Characterization of complexes was performed by elemental analysis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR and mass spectroscopy measurements. Interaction of complexes (1-3) with calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-DNA) was investigated by using electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical methods and cleavage studies. The hyperchromic change in the electronic absorption spectrum of the Pt(II) complexes indicates an electrostatic interaction between the complexes and ct-DNA. Binding constant values between 4.42 x 10(3) and 5.09 x 10(3) M-1 and binding side size values between 2 and 3 base pairs were determined from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) studies.

    Spectroelectrochemical Investigation of Nuclease Active Pt(II) Complexes Containing Pyrrole Oxime
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Erdogan, Deniz Altunoz; Kayi, Hakan; Ozalp-Yaman, Seniz
    In this paper, the electrochemical oxidation of three Pt(II) complexes containing pyrrole oxime (HL) having a general formula of [Pt(NH3)Cl(L)] (1), [Pt(L)(2)] (2), and K[PtCl2(L)] (3) has been investigated by in-situ spectroelectrochemistry in dimethylformamide (DMF). An irreversible metal-based oxidation process occurs during the anodic scan for each of the three complexes. The electronic absorption spectral changes indicate that all the three complexes generate similar Pt(IV) compounds and free ligand. Our experimental data is supported by quantum chemistry calculations utilizing density functional theory. In addition, the frontier orbital energy distributions indicate that electron densities are localized on mainly platinum atom. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
