An efficient five-step synthetic method was developed to access a homologous series of spermidine-acridine and spermidine-anthracene conjugates. The derivatives were comprised of a spermidine fragment covalently tethered at its N4 position to either an ac

The combination of a polyacridine peptide modified with a melittin fusogenic peptide results in a potent gene transfer agent. Polyacridine peptides of the general formula (Acr-X)n-Cys were prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis, where Acr is

The complexes of the type [PtCl(L2)(ACRAMTU)](NO3)2 (ACRAMTU = 1-[2-(acridin-9-ylamino)ethyl]-1,3-dimethylthiourea) were synthesized: PT-ACRAMTU (1), L2 = ethane-1,2-diamine (en); PT(dach)-ACRAMTU (2), L2 = (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (dach); PT(pda-OH)-ACRAMTU (3), L2 = 2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine (pda-OH). The complexes containing diverse diamines exhibit different DNA binding capacity and cytotoxicity. Complex 3 shows excellent capability not only on the strongest non-cisplatin-type DNA damage, but also superior anticancer activity in NCI-H460 cells (IC50 = 0.23 ± 0.05 μM). For overcoming water insolubly and side effects, we encapsulated complex 3 into liposomes. PT@NPs were characterized in terms of particle size, morphology, drug loading capacity (DLC), encapsulation efficiency (EE) and stability. In vitro triggered release showed that the release of the platinum drug was steerable and the release rate was fast under low pH ( Tm = 41 °C). PT@NPs showed significant inhibitory effect in NCI-H460 cells. Flow cytometry analysis indicates G0/G1 phase arrest of cells treated with complex 3, whereas cells treated with cisplatin progress to G2/M of the cell cycle. The mechanistic differences validate that complex 3 is a potent anticancer agent superior than current clinical platinum-based therapies. PT@NPs have the potential in drug delivery systems (DDS) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapy.
Lattice energetics and thermochemistry of acridine derivatives and substituted acridinium trifluoromethanesulphonates

The enthalpies and temperatures of melting of eight 9-substituted acridines (alkyl, aryl or alkoxy) (I) and six their 10-methylated-acridinium trifluoromethanesulphonate (II) derivatives were measured by DSC. The enthalpies and temperatures of volatilisation of the first group of compounds were also determined by DSC or obtained by fitting TG curves to the Clausius–Clapeyron relationship. By combining the enthalpies of formation of gaseous acridines or 10-methylacridinium trifluoromethanesulphonate ions, obtained by the DFT method, and the corresponding enthalpies of sublimation and/or crystal lattice enthalpies, the enthalpies of formation of the compounds in the solid phase were predicted. For compounds whose crystal structures are known, experimental enthalpies of sublimation correspond reasonably well to crystal lattice enthalpies predicted theoretically as the sum of electrostatic, dispersive and repulsive interactions. Analysis of crystal lattice enthalpy contributions indicates that dispersive interactions between molecules always predominate in the case of acridine derivatives, whilst the crystal lattices of their quaternary salts are stabilised by electrostatic interactions between ions. Only in the case of 9-bromomethylacridine derivative, which crystallises in the monohydrated form, electrostatic contribution to the crystal lattice energy is significantly higher than in the other investigated acridines.
