Abstract

A Platinum(II) complex of N-isopropylimidazolidine-2-selenone (i-PrImSe), [Pt(i-PrImSe)4]Cl2 (1) was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (1H, 13C, 77Se & 195Pt) spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The structure of 1 consists of [Pt(i-PrImSe)4]2+ complex ion and chloride counter ions. The platinum(II) atom adopts a distorted square planar geometry. The in vitro antitumor activity of 1 as well as cisplatin, was evaluated by MTT assay against human; ovarian carcinoma A2780 and its cisplatin-resistant subline A2780R, prostate cancer 22Rv1 and breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines. The title complex displayed the activity against the A2780 cells (IC50 = 30.8 μM) at the level comparable to cisplatin (IC50 = 26.8 μM). The interaction studies with sulfur-containing biomolecules revealed its ability to form a variety of intermediates and oxidized species with L-cysteine and reduced glutathione.
