A series of dimers of the monofunctional platinum species [Pt(dien)Cl]+, linked by a variety of flexible (polymethylene) and more rigid chains, was prepared and evaluated for DNA interactions and cytotoxic activity. The polymethylene-linked dimers were prepared by acylation of N(1),N(3)-bistrityldiethylenetriamine with alpha, omega-dicarboxylic acid chlorides, followed by reduction with diborane. Platination of these ligands was achieved with K2PtI4 prepared in situ, followed by anion exchange. Solutions of the bis(Pt(dien)Cl)2+ complexes were stable, and shown to be pure by 195Pt NMR, but solid products could not be isolated. All of the bis(Pt(dien)Cl)2+ complexes unwound closed circular supercoiled DNA more efficiently than the monomer, and were more efficient than the difunctional platinum complex cisplatin at cross-linking linearized plasmid DNA, as measured on non-denaturing agarose gels. None of the bis(Pt(dien)Cl)2+ complexes were as cytotoxic as cisplatin in both the wild-type and platinum-resistant P388 murine leukaemia cell lines. The more rigid analogues were equitoxic in both sensitive and cisplatin-resistant cells, but none showed in vitro activity against the P388 tumour.
