Obstacles for Cisplatin On Route to DNA • Reagents in blood plasm: proteins, protective agents • Receptors at cell wall • Reagents in cellular membrane • Reagents inside the cell, such as glutathione, S-donor peptides • Reagents in the nuclear membrane
Transport from Outside to Inside Cell • Cell receptors? • Active or passive cell-wall transport? • Relationships with resistance?? • Carrier molecule? YES: PS (phos/ser)! • Inside cell: glutathione-like ligands take over; can some Pt species escape to the nucleus? YES: transfer proved

Why Use Pt(IV)? • Pt(IV) complexes are kinetically inert • Facilitates synthetic manipulations • Allows for oral administration • Different pharmacological and pharmaco-kinetic properties • Spectrum of activity • Reduced side effects • Drug resistance • Reduction in vivo to reactive Pt(II)

Cytotoxicity Studies: BEP1 IC50: 3.7 M (MCF-7), 3.8 M (HCC-1937) Thus HMGB1 overexpression does not sensitize the ER(+) cells. Barnes & Lippard (2003) unpublished results.
BEP1 Cytotoxicity: Why are ER(+) cells not sensitized compared to the ER(-) cells? • Kinetics of HMGB1 upregulation are not optimized for repair-shielding of cisplatin adducts • Concentration of estrogen delivered to the cell is not suitable for desired HMGB1 upregulation • Estrogen-induced cell proliferation • Estrogen-compounds derivatized at the 17-position are not recognized by the estrogen-receptor with strong affinity

Summary of Major Findings Structures of cisplatin-DNA 1,2-intrastrand cross-link, and in complex with HMG-domain A, reveal hydrophobic notch and Phe intercalation. Adduct blocks transcription and leads to ubiquitination of RNA Pol II large subunit. Nucleotide excision repair removes the major 1,2-intrastrand cross-links; repair is less efficient from nucleosomes. Post- translational histone modification stimulates NER. Cisplatin treatment of cells stimulates histone acetylation. HMG-domain proteins shield cisplatin intrastrand d(GpG) cross-links from nucleotide excision repair. Steroid hormones stimulate HMGB1 expression and sensitize cells to cisplatin and carboplatin. Phase I clinical trial has commenced at DFCI and MGH. Novel linked Pt(IV) estradiol complex strategy for new drug candidates.
Electron Transfer (ET) in Living Systems PRINCIPLES: • M-binding sites tailored to minimize structural changes upon ET • One-electron transfer processes preferred • Coupling of H+ with electron transfer controls redox potential • ET can occur over long distances; ~ 11-13 Å is most common • Parameters: distance, driving force, reorganizational energy TOPICS: • Three major bioinorganic ET units: FenSn clusters; Cu; hemes • Long-distance electron transfer: dependence on distance, driving force, reorganization energy • Electron supply in the methane monooxygenase system
