CDDP [Ll210/diamminedichloroplatinllm (DDI') b -,- 7e-fold resistant to tetraplatin (L1210/DACH), were used in conjunction with comp0und,~ having the general structure DACH-Pt(IV)-XzY,, where X and Y are axial and equatorial ligands and XzYz are specifically CIzCI2, Ac2CI2, (TFA).,CI2, (OH)2C12, and CI2CBDCA (CI, chioro; Ac, acetato; TFA, trifluoroacetato; OH, hydroxo; CBDCA, l,l-cyclobutanedicarboxylato). Comparison of cytotoxicities between isomers of C12CI2, Ac2C12, or CI2CBDCA indicated that R,R-isomers were the most effective against all three cell lines. The relatively lower activity of the S,S- and cis-isomers was cell line dependent: against L1210/DACH, both isomers of C!2C12 were only 2- to 3-fold less effective, and this contrasted with 7- and 26-fold lower cytotoxicities, respectively, against L1210/DDP. Cr0ss-resistance factors in the L1210/ I)DI' and L1210/DACH lines depended on both isomeric form and the nature of axlat or eq[l]t0da] I|gand. The L1210/DDP cells were 6- to 0-fold cross-resistant to the R,R-isomer, 8- to 1g-told tO ~,S-is0mer, and 13- to 38-fold to cis-isomer. The L1210/DAI~It it,+ was o,,iy 4- to 7-fold el'0~l, resistant to the three isomers of AczClz, but cross-resistance to the isomers was 47- to 79-fold for 0202 and 22- to 56-fold for CI2CBDCA complexes. Compared with CDDP, accumulation (2 h at 100 #zm drug concentration) of AczClz in the three L1210 cell lines was 26-50%, while uptake of 0202 and (TFA)2CI2 was 100-170% and 320--570%, respectively. The greatest DNA binding was seen with CI2C!2 in all cell lines, followed by (TFA)2Ci2, CDDP, and Ac2CI2. DNA binding correlated directly with potency (1/ concentration producing 50% inhibition) in the L1210/0 model (r = 0.973, P < 0.016) but not in the L1210/DDP and L1210/DACH models. Accu- mulation and DNA-binding studies indicated that binding efficiency to DNA was: CIzC!2 > Ae2CI2 > CDDP > (TFA)2Ci2. In a nonreducing environment, the Pt0V) complexes (20/~M) did not react with salmon sperm DNA. Reduced glutathione (100/zM), as a reducing agent, rendered full binding capacity to Cl2Cl2; binding was 25-30% of the expected maximum for (TFA)2CI2, while Ac2C12 remained inert. These data indicate profound effects of axial and equatorial ligands in Pt(IV) complexes on the antitumor activity and cellular pharmacology of the compounds. The investigations also identified Ac2C12 as of particular interest because of its low cross-resistance in the L1210/DDP and L1210/DACH cells.

Analogues of CDI)P containing tt]c ~t:it~lc I)ACH carrier ligand coordinated to the CCrltral Pt aton-t are of interest because of their potential ability to oxercome CDDP resistance in tumor cells (8-11). One such DACH-containing compound is the recently developed tetraplatin (ormaplatin), which is currently in clinical trials (12, 13). The interaction of CDDP with DNA has been implicated as the major cytotoxic action of the drug (14, 15), and the reduction of Pt(IV) compounds to the Pt(II) state appears to be a prerequisite for Pt binding to DNA (16, 17). DACH has two asymmetric centers at carbon positions 1 and 2 in the alicyclic ring, and this gives rise to R,R-, S,S-, and cis-DACH as the possible isomers (is, 19). Antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo can vary with the individual DACH isomer contained in the platinum compleX, and this has been demonstrated predominantly with r't(n) ~omp~xes (20) ~nd to a limited extent with the DACH- tetrachloroplatinum(IV) complex tctraplatin (8, 21). No informati0[l J5 available to indicate whether the relative activity of the tlarcc isomeric forms of the DACH-Pt(IV) complex can be modulated by axial and/or equatorial ligands. Whether such ligands can also modulate the cel- lular pharmacology of the DACH-Pt(IV) compound has not been investigated to our knowledge. Recently, ammine-amine (mixed amine) Pt(IV) complexes with axial carboxylate and equatorial chlo- ride ligands were reported as being highly potent, partly as a result of greater intracellular accumulation than cisplatin or tetraplatin (22-24). The difference in the amine configuration between mixed amine com- plexes and tetraplatin, however, allowed only tentative conclusions to be drawn regarding the beneficial effects of axial acetate over axial chloride ligand. In this study, we designed and synthesized a short series of DACH- Pt(IV) compounds (Fig. 1) to determine the effect of axial or equa- torial ligands on the relative activity and cellular pharmacology of individual isomeric DACH-Pt(IV) complexes in L1210 cell lines sen- sitive and resistant to either cisplatin or tetraplatin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chemicals. CDDP and DACH-Pt(IV) compounds (Fig. 1) were synthe- sized according to published procedures (8, 18, 19, 25). Solutions of the drugs were prepared in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY) immediately before use. M'IT and salmon sperm DNA were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, Me), and fetal bovine serum was from Whittaker M. A. Bioproducts Inc. (Walkersville, MD). Cell Lines and Culture Conditions. Sensitive and resistant murine leu- kemia L1210 cell lines were provided by Dr. Alan Eastman (Department of Pharmacology, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, NH) and have been well characterized (26).

    grown at 37~ in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The original cell lines were stored at -70~ Fresh cells were removed and cultured from stock every 3--4 months.

    M'ITAssays. Cell survival was determined by a modified MTI" assay (27). Briefly, solutions of platinum compounds in RPMI 1640 medium were steril- ized through a 0.22-/xm filter, and 100-p,1 aliquots were pipetted into quadru- plicate wells of 96-well microtiter plates. L1210 cells in the exponential phase of growth were collected and counted by Coulter counter (Coulter Electronics, Hialeah, FL). After the cell concentration was adjusted to 2 • 104 cells/ml (L1210/0 and L1210/DACH) or 5 X 104 cells/ml (L1210/DDP), 100/xl of cell suspension was added to each of the wells. After 3 days of incubation in a 37~ 5% CO2-humidified incubator, when control cells were in an exponential phase of growth, 50/~1 of MTF solution (2 mg/ml) was added to each well, and after a 4-h incubation, 50 ~1 of 100% dimethyl sulfoxide was added to redis- solve M'IT formazan crystals. Plates were then agitated on a plate shaker for 5 min, and absorbances at 570 nm were measured with a multiwell scanning spectrophotometer (model MR600; Dynatech, Chantilly, VA). IC5o values were determined by fitting a sigmoidal curve to the data using a computer program (GraphPAD Software, San Diego, CA).

    Cell Treatment for Drug Uptake and DNA-binding Studies. Exponen- tially growing L1210 cells were resuspended to 1 • 106 cells/ml in complete RPMI 1640 medium. Aliquots (30 ml) were incubated with drug (final con- centration, 100 /~M) at 37~ After 2 h, duplicate 1.5-ml portions were trans- ferred to microcentrifuge tubes for assessment of drug accumulation, and the remaining cells (27 ml) were used to evaluate DNA-bound Pt. The cells were washed twice with ice cold phosphate-buffered saline, and the pellets were stored at -20~ until assayed. For determination of cellular Pt and the amount of Pt bound to DNA, at least 3 independent experiments were performed.

    Determination of Platinum Uptake in Cells. Cell pellets following drug incubation (see above) were resuspended in 0.1 ml saline and digested in 0.2 ml 2 M NaOH in an oven at 55-60~ for 2 h. The protein concentration of an aliquot (100/xl) of the digested cell sample was determined by the method of Lowry et aL (28). A separate aliquot (180 lxl) was acidified with 60/xl 4 M HC1, and the Pt was determined by FAAS (model AA300/GTA-96; Varian, Victoria, Australia) using conditions described previously (detection limit, 100 pg Pt) (29, 30).

    Determination of Platinum Bound to DNA. High molecular weight DNA was isolated from cell pellets following drug incubation according to standard procedures (31). Briefly, the pellets were lysed overnight at 37~ using the extraction buffer (10 mM Tris, 100 mM EDTA, 20 t~g/ml RNase, 0.5% SDS, pH 8.0) and then treated with proteinase K (100/~g/ml, 50~ for 3 h), and the DNA was extracted with phenol three times, precipitated with ethanol, and dissolved in water (200 txl). The DNA content and purity were assessed by A26o and A28o, and the amount of Pt in the sample was determined by FAAS.

    Partition Coefficients. The partition coefficients of compounds were de- termined in an octanol/saline system (32). Briefly, platinum complexes were dissolved in saline and diluted to 50 tZM with saline. A 1.5-ml aliquot of the solution was added to an equal volume of octanol in a glass tube and shaken mechanically for 15 min. Tubes were centrifuged (1500 rpm, 5 min) and aliquots carefully removed from the top octanol and the bottom aqueous layers for platinum analysis by FAAS. Partition coefficients were expressed as the log of the ratio of total platinum in octanol to total platinum in the aqueous layer.

    Binding of Pt Complexes to DNA. Multiple 500-/xg aliquots of salmon sperm DNA in 1 ml buffer (10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) were incubated at 37~ with platinum complexes (20 p.M, approximately 1 Pt/75 nucleotides) with or without GSH (100/~M). At selected times (15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3

    h), the reaction was immediately quenched by the addition of 200 /xl 10 M ammonium acetate and precipitation of DNA with 2.5 ml absolute ethanol. The precipitated DNA was washed twice with 70% ethanol and then dissolved in 250/~1 water at room temperature overnight. DNA content and amount of Pt in the sample were assessed as described above.

    Statistical Analysis. Statistical significances were determined by paired Student's t test; values of P < 0.05 were considered significant.

    RESULTS

    Cytotoxicity Evaluation. Cytotoxicities of cisplatin and DACH- Pt(IV) complexes in L1210 cells are presented as 1(25o values in Table 1. Cisplatin was highly potent against L1210/0 and 10- and 160-fold less active against L1210/DACH and L1210/DDP cells, respectively. Differences in cytotoxicities between the R,R-, S,S- and cis-isomers of C12C12, Ac2C12, or CI2CBDCA were clearly apparent. The molar order of potency of C12C12 and C12CBDCA isomers in these cell lines was in general R,R- > > S,S- >- cis-isomer. In contrast, the potency of Ac2CI 2 isomers was R,R- > S,S- > > cis-isomer. In the L1210/0 and L1210/DACH models, differences between the most and least potent isomer for a given set of isomers were 2- to 7-fold, whereas in the L1210/DDP model, differences were dependent on the axial-equato- rial ligand combination and varied from 8-fold for C12CBDCA iso- mers to 26-fold for the C12CI 2 series.

    R,R-DACH-Pt(IV) complexes were used for comparison of cyto- toxicities between compounds of different axial or equatorial ligands. It was clear that CI2CI 2 was the most effective against L1210/0 and L1210/DDP. In general, the order of potencies was C12C12 > ( T F A ) 2 C 1 2 > C12CBDCA > Ac2C12 > ~ > (OH)2C12 . Against L12t0/ DACH cells, the order was (TFA)2CI2 > Ac2C12 > C12C12 > CIzCBDCA > > (OH)2C12.

    Cross-Resistance Factor. The 160-fold cisplatin-resistant L1210/ DDP tumor model demonstrated the lowest (6- to 9-fold) cross-resis- tance toward R,R-DACH complexes (Fig. 2). The resistance factors for S,S- and cis-complexes were dependent on the axial-equatorial li- gand combination and varied from 8 for S , S - A c 2 C I 2 to 11-15 for S,S-C12C12 and S,S-CI2CBDCA and from 13 for cis-CI2CBDCA to 33-38 for c/s-Cl2Cl 2 and c/s-Ac2C12 . The 70-fold tetraplatin-resistant L1210/DACH line was the least cross-resistant (4- to 7-fold) to all three isomers of Ac2C12. R,R-CIzCI2 and R,R-CI2CBDCA had the highest resistance factors (56- to 79-fold) in this line, with lower fac- tors observed for S,S- and cis-C12C12 (47- to 51-fold) and &S-and c/s-C12CBDCA (22-fold). The cross-resistance profile of R,R- (TFA)2C12 was more like that of R,R-Ac2C12, while R,R-(OH)2CI2 resembled R,R-CleC12 and R,R-C12CBDCA in this respect.

    Intracellular Accumulation. Uptakes of cisplatin, tetraplatin, and other complexes in all cell lines were linear with time during a 4-h incubation and extracellular concentration of up to at least 200 /XM

    (data not shown). Therefore, a 2-h incubation time and 100 /.tM drug concentration were chosen for accumulation and DNA-binding stud- ies of R,R-isomers of C12C12, Ac2C12, and (TFA)2C12 complexes, with cisplatin included as a reference compound. In Table 2, the intracellu- lar Pt levels are presented relative to cellular protein content to take into consideration cell volume differences among the L1210 lines (26). Accumulation of a given compound was greatest in the parent L1210/0 cells and up to 50% lower in the two variant cell lines. Least uptake was observed with the Ac2C12 complex;accumulation was greater by a factor of 2--4 for cisplatin, 3-4 for C12C12, and I1-13 for (TFA)2CIa. Although the greater uptake of (TFA)2C12 coincided with its high partition coefficient (Table 3), this comparison was not useful for explaining the low accumulation of the AcaCia complex.

    Intracellnlar DNA-Adduct Levels. Levels of DNA adducts fol- lowing a 2-h incubation at 100/xr~ drug concentration were greatest for C12C12, followed by (TFA)2Cla, CDDP, and then Ac2C12 (Table 2). These levels correlated directly with potency (1/I(25o) in L1210/0 cells but not in L1210/DDP or L1210/DACH models (Fig. 3). The possi- bility that variation in adduct levels with change in axial ligands in the Pt(IV) complexes may be related to differences in the degree of activation was examined by comparing the kinetics of adduct forma- tion in vitro between the platinum complex (20/XM) and salmon sperm DNA in presence or absence of GSH (100 ~M). Without GSH, the three Pt(IV) complexes reacted minimally with DNA, while the Pt(II) complexes, cisplatin and DACH-Pt(II)-C12 (the expected reduction product of Pt(IV) complex), freely formed DNA-Pt adducts (Fig. 4A). It is interesting to note that DACH-Pt(II)-CI2 formed adducts at about twice the rate of cisplatin. GSH had no gross effect on adduct forma- tion of these Pt(II) complexes or the Pt(IV)-Ac2C12 analogue, but substantially increased adducts formed with C12C12 to the level ob- served with DACH-Pt(II)-C12 and with (TFA)2C12 to about one-third of this level (Fig. 4B).

    DISCUSSION

    Antitumor Pt(IV) complexes have gained much popularity since the introduction of iproplatin (33, 34) and tetraplatin (12, 13) into clinical trials. More recently, several preclinical reports of mixed amine Pt(IV) complexes bearing axial carboxylate and equatorial chloride ligands have demonstrated the potential advantage that could be gained with tetravalent complexes (22-24). In the present study, our purpose was to examine systematically the effect of varying axial and equatorial ligands on the cytotoxicity and cellular pharmacology of a carefully selected series of DACH-Pt(IV) complexes. Since DACH can exist as R,R-, S,S-, and cis-isomers, it was also useful, from the viewpoint of development of DACH-Pt complexes, to examine whether ligands can modulate the relative cytotoxicity of these isomers.

    The DACH carrier ligand is of substantial interest because platinum complexes containing this amine are highly cytotoxic and can over- come acquired resistance to cisplatin in preclinical models (8-11). As yet, the mechanism of this lack of cross-resistance is unknown. Our results demonstrate that the choice of axial and/or equatorial ligands can have a substantial effect on antitumor activities and cross-resis- tance patterns of DACH-Pt(IV) complexes in CDDP-sensitive L1210/0, 160-fold CDDP-resistant L1210/DDP, and 70-fold tetrapla- tin-resistant L1210/DACH tumor lines. Moreover, such results could be modified further by the isomeric form of the DACH carrier ligand. Generally, the R,R-DACH complexes were the most potent and least cross-resistant with cisplatin. These data are consistent with those previously reported for DACH-Pt(II) (20) and DACH-Pt(IV)-C12C12 (8, 21) isomers. It is also clear that the cross-resistance in L1210/ DACH cells could be substantially lowered by appropriate selection of the labile axial and equatorial groups. Thus, in the L1210/DACH model, the cross-resistance factor for the three isomers of Ac2C12 (having axial acetates and equatorial chloride groups) was only 4-7. This is a unique demonstration of a DACH-containing compound overcoming DACH-Pt resistance to a substantial degree. The behavior of Ac2C12 in this respect is similar to that of cisplatin, which has been reported to have activity against L1210/DACH cells, but differs from tetraplatin, which, being a mixture of R,R- and S,S-isomers of C12C12, is inactive in this model (35). The substantial modulation of spectrum of antitumor activity by substituting acetate for axial C1 in CIzC12 is unexplained, but qualitative and quantitative differences in the prod-

    ucts of reduction of Ac2C12, compared to CIECIz, are possible and may account for it; this possibility is currently being explored using a high-performance liquid chromatography system. In contrast, this modulation is comparatively less when equatorial C1 ligands in C12C12 are replaced by the bidentate CBDCA group to form CIeCBDCA. The axial position of Pt(IV), therefore, represents a highly significant target for exploitation in the development of new platinum complexes.

    The universal superiority of the R,R- over S,S- and cis-isomers and the attraction of the axial position prompted evaluation of two addi- tional R,R-DACH-Pt(IV) analogues in which the equatorial C1 was retained and hydroxyl or TFA were selected as axial ligands. The complex (OH)2C12 was similar to C12Cle and CI~CBDCA in its cross- resistance profile, but its potency was substantially lower. The (TFA)2C12 analogue, on the other hand, was more like Ac2C12, except

    that the former structure was superior in potency but inferior with

    regard to its cross-resistance factor in the L1210/DACH model. Substitution in the axial position can also modulate intracellular

    accumulation, which was greatest for (TFA)2CI2 and least for the

    closely related Ac2C12 analogue. These differences could be partly accounted for by their respective partition coefficients. The high partition coefficient of cyclohexylamine-ammine-Pt(IV)-

    (OCOCH2CH2CH3)2C12 has reportedly caused its high intracellular accumulation, thereby making this molecule up to 200-fold more potent compared to cisplatin (22). However, the relationship between accumulation and potency of Pt(IV) complexes is not a simple one. Although there was a good correlation between accumulation and

    potency when comparing (TFA)2C12 and Ac2C12, the analogue C12C12 indicated that caution should be exercised against generalizing such a

    conclusion: accumulation of the latter analogue was >3-fold lower

    compared to (TFA)2CI2, but the potencies of the two molecules were similar against L1210/0 and L1210/DDP cell lines.

    The inertness of Pt(IV) complexes is well recognized, and biologi- cal activity of such compounds depends on their ability to be reduced

    to the Pt(II) species as a first step in the activation process (16, 17). Tetraplatin, for instance, fails to interact with DNA without prior

    reduction (35), but in a reducing environment, reduction proceeds rapidly (35-37). In the present study, Pt(IV) complexes were selected for evaluation so that their initial reduction product DACH-Pt(II)-CI2 was identical. Our in v i t ro results with GSH-mediated activation of Pt(IV) complexes confirmed that reduction is essential and fast with the C1 ligand in the axial position, and they also demonstrated that the reduction process can be controlled by appropriate selection of axial ligands; thus, the reaction rate with DNA is moderate with axial TFA and extremely slow with axial acetate. Intracellulary, however, the reduction of Ac2C12 appears to be sufficient to affect cytotoxicity. Nevertheless, the low cellular accumulation of R,R-AczCI 2 and its presumed lower intracellular rate of reduction necessitates the use of a higher extracellular concentration for significant antitumor activity. The slow reduction of (TFA)2CI2, on the other hand, appears to be compensated by its greater intracellular accumulation, which may explain the relatively higher potency of this molecule. Similarly, the very low potency of (OH)zCIz is probably related to its inability to be reduced significantly. This is analogous to the data for iproplatin, which has axial OH ligands and is negligibly reduced in vi tro (17), but

    its product of reduction has been identified in v i vo (38). Thus, both

    accumulation and reduction appear to be determinants of potency of the Pt(IV) molecule and need to be considered together to understand the cellular pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships. Differ- ential cellular distribution and nuclear processing may also play a role in the difference in potencies among molecules; our data comparing

    4571

    drug uptake and DNA-binding indicated that C12C12 was the most

    efficient in binding to DNA, followed by AczCl2, cisplatin, and

    (TFA)2CI2. Our data demonstrated that axial and equatorial ligands and the

    specific isomeric amine configuration in DACH-Pt(IV) complexes can substantially modulate cytotoxicity. More significant is the dem-

    onstration that axial carboxylate can improve the spectrum of antitu- mor activity to include tumors resistant to DACH-Pt complexes. The

    mechanism of this is not understood but is presently being pursued.

    Analogues selected based on these studies are undergoing in v ivo

    preclinical evaluation in order to better assess their potential clinical utility. Although the severe and irreversible neurotoxicity of tetrapla-

    tin has aroused concerns about DACH-platinum analogues, we are cautiously optimistic regarding the future clinical utility of our com- pounds, primarily because DACH-platinum congeners with different

    ligands, such as malanatoplatinum (39), oxaliplatin (40), and L-NDDP (40), display no or substantially less neurotoxicity, as ascertained by

    the low intensity, low incidence, short duration, and rapid resolution

    of this side effect.
