A selected chemical library of six platinum(II) complexes having 1,2-bis(aminomethyl)carbobicyclic ligands were synthesized after a rational design in order to evaluate their antiproliferative activity and the structure-activity relationships. The cytotoxicity studies were performed using cancer cell lines sensitive (A2780) and resistant (A2780R) to cisplatin. Excellent cytotoxicity was observed for most of complexes, which presented better resistance factors than cisplatin against the A2780R cell line. The interaction of these complexes with DNA, as the target biomolecule, was evaluated by several methods: DNA-platinum binding kinetics, changes in the DNA melting temperature, evaluation of the unwinding angle of supercoiled DNA, evaluation of the interstrand cross-links, and replication mapping. The kinetics of the interaction with glutathione was also investigated to better understand the resistant factors observed for the new complexes.

A methodology for the preparation of both endocyclic unsaturated molecules via reductive elimination of vicinal dicyano derivatives is reported.The method is useful for the preparation of anti-sesquinorbornene and related hitherto unknown molecules starting from the respective vicinal dicyano derivatives which are readily available via Diels-Alder reactions.From a practical point of view, the best decyanation procedure for these substrates is to use finely dispersed sodium in tetrahydrofuran under sonication.The X-ray analysis of anti-1,4,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro-1,4;5,8-dimethanonaphthalene-4a,8a-dicarbonitrile, 3, is reported.Crystal data: orthorhombic, space group P212121; Z=4; a=16.059(5), b=8.920(3), c=7.592(3) Angstroem; V=1087.5 Angstroem3, Dc=1.27 g*cm-3.
