There has been considerable interest in the mode of interaction of the simple antitumor agent cis-platin (cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II)) with nucleic acids. The authors have recently shown that Pt(II) has a high affinity for inorganic phosphate and polyphosphate ligands, and forms a variety of species that have been characterized. Phosphorus-31, carbon-13, and proton NMR studies of the adenine nucleotide complexes of Pt(II) have shown that the phosphate groups of these ligands do play a role in metal ion binding, in contrast to previous work that had indicated no interaction of the phosphate oxygens with PT(II). Kinetic studies have indicated that Pt(II) binding is a two-step process in which the initial complex that is formed is slowly converted to the final products. NMR studies have suggested that a phosphate-bound intermediate is formed initially, since coordination shifts due to complex formation are observed in the /sup 31/P spectra at an early stage in the reaction time course, while shifts are observed considerably later in the proton spectra. At least two final products are observed in the binding of Pt(II) to either AMP, ADP, or ATP. All of the final Pt(II) nucleotide complexes appear to involve interactions with the phosphate groups.
