Product Description
Phenanthriplatin is a monovalent platinum(II)-based complex that is highly cytotoxic to cancer/tumor cells.
Phenanthriplatin (CAS 1416900-51-0), also known as cis-[Pt(NH3)2-(phenanthridine)Cl]NO3, is a monovalent platinum(II)-based anticancer agent belonging to the family of platinum chemotherapeutics that includes cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and carboplatin. It features a hydrophobic phenanthridine ligand that significantly enhances cellular uptake compared to conventional platinum drugs. Phenanthriplatin acts as a covalent poison of topoisomerase II cleavage complexes and exhibits substantially greater activity than cisplatin and oxaliplatin across multiple cancer cell lines.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Phenanthriplatin targets DNA through covalent binding, forming DNA adducts that disrupt DNA replication and transcription. It binds more effectively to 5'-deoxyguanosine monophosphate than to N-acetyl methionine, whereas pyriplatin reacts equally well with both reagents. The compound also acts as a covalent poison of topoisomerase II cleavage complexes. The hydrophobic phenanthridine ligand maximizes cellular uptake, rendering it more effective and cytotoxic compared with cisplatin and carboplatin.
ln Vitro
Phenanthriplatin demonstrates significantly greater anticancer activity than cisplatin and oxaliplatin across various human cancer cell lines. In testicular cancer cells, IC50 values are 0.14 μM for phenanthriplatin vs 1.12 μM for cisplatin and 0.035 μM for oxaliplatin. In prostate cancer cells: 4.56 μM vs 13.2 μM (cisplatin) vs 0.74 μM (oxaliplatin). In lung cancer cells: 5.16 μM vs 47.9 μM (cisplatin). The compound also downregulates long non-coding RNAs involved in Wnt/β-catenin and TGF-β signaling pathways.
ln Vivo
In vivo efficacy data for Phenanthriplatin are limited in the available literature. The compound is characterized as a potent anticancer agent with significantly greater activity than cisplatin and oxaliplatin, suggesting potential for enhanced in vivo efficacy. Its mechanism of DNA binding, crosslinking, and disruption of the DNA double helix leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in rapidly dividing cancer cells. The hydrophobic phenanthridine ligand facilitates cellular uptake, which may translate to improved in vivo biodistribution and tumor penetration.
Enzyme Assay
Cellular uptake of Phenanthriplatin is substantially greater than that of cisplatin and pyriplatin due to the hydrophobicity of the phenanthridine ligand. The compound is thought to penetrate cell membranes in its ionized form by either passive diffusion or carrier-mediated active transport. Binding assays to 5'-deoxyguanosine monophosphate versus N-acetyl methionine demonstrate preferential DNA binding. Enzyme assays with topoisomerase II show that phenanthriplatin acts as a covalent poison of topoisomerase II cleavage complexes.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based cytotoxicity assays are performed using various human cancer cell lines including testicular (NTERA-2), prostate (PC3), and lung (A549) cancer cells. Cells are treated with phenanthriplatin at varying concentrations for 72 hours, and cell viability is assessed using standard assays such as MTT or SRB to determine IC50 values. The compound’s effects on long non-coding RNA expression and cancer signaling pathways are evaluated using qPCR and Western blot analysis.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Phenanthriplatin are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As a platinum-based anticancer agent, typical in vivo evaluation would involve xenograft mouse models bearing human tumor cell lines. Tumor-bearing mice would be treated with phenanthriplatin via intravenous administration, and tumor growth inhibition, survival rates, and body weight changes would be monitored. The compound’s superior in vitro cytotoxicity suggests potential for enhanced in vivo antitumor efficacy compared to cisplatin and oxaliplatin.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Detailed pharmacokinetic properties of Phenanthriplatin are not extensively reported. The compound is a monovalent platinum(II) complex with a molecular weight of 503.80 g/mol. It is soluble in DMSO and appears as a solid powder. Cellular uptake is substantially greater than that of cisplatin and pyriplatin due to the hydrophobicity of the phenanthridine ligand. The compound penetrates cell membranes in its ionized form by either passive diffusion or carrier-mediated active transport. Stability: >2 years if stored properly at 0–4°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Phenanthriplatin are limited in the available literature. As a platinum-based DNA-binding agent, expected toxicities would be similar to those of other platinum chemotherapeutics, including nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and myelosuppression. The compound is classified for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use. Its significantly greater cytotoxicity compared to cisplatin and oxaliplatin suggests a potentially improved therapeutic index, though formal toxicological profiles are not detailed in the available sources.
