A substituted anthraquinone (AQ), previously shown to photochemically generate benzaldehyde in methanol solution, was attached to a commercially available resin via an 11 carbon tether and an amide bond. Photolysis of the polymer-bound AQ with visible or 350 nm UV light resulted in the formation of benzaldehyde in yields of 50-55% as determined by HPLC. The phenolic positions in the polymer were then alkylated using benzyl bromide and 1-iodo-3-(4-nitrophenyl)propane in a coupling reaction with K2CO3 as a base and a solution-phase proton shuttle. Photolysis of these alkylated polymers resulted in the formation of benzaldehyde (54-89%) and 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-propanal (58-67%). The yields of both aldehydes dropped considerably with subsequent realkylation and photolysis, and the polymer beads began to show signs of deterioration. This is the first time that aldehydes have been made photochemically on a solid-supported phase.

Two different classes of cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II) complexes linked to the DNA-intercalating chromophore 9-anilinoacridine have been synthesized and evaluated as DNA-targeted antitumor agents. Two different Pt chelating ligands were investigated (based on 1,2-ethanediamine and 1,3-propanediamine), designed to deliver the Pt in an orientation likely to respectively enhance either intrastrand or interstrand cross-linking. Although both sets of ligands were somewhat unstable under neutral or basic conditions with respect to disproportionation, the corresponding Pt complexes, once prepared, appeared to be quite stable. All the Pt complexes were monitored for purity by TLC, HPLC, and FAB mass spectra, and the mode of Pt coordination was established by 195Pt NMR spectroscopy. The complexes appeared to cause simultaneous platination and intercalative unwinding of plasmid DNA. In vitro studies were carried out with both wild-type and cisplatin-resistant P388 cell lines. Whereas cisplatin itself and the ethylenediamine and 1,3-propanediamine complexes used as standards were about 10-fold less active against the resistant line, the ethylenediamine-linked Pt complexes showed no differential toxicity between the two lines and the propanediamine-linked complexes showed significant differentials (up to 8-fold) in favor of the cisplatin-resistant line. However, these were no greater than those shown by the unplatinated ligands themselves. The majority of the acridine complexes were inactive in vivo against the wild-type P388 leukemia. They were very insoluble, and although a suitable formulation was found, this may have been a factor. It is also possible that these compounds bind in such a way as to direct the Pt away from the major groove.
