A new platinum(II) complex, [Pt(ClClQ)(DMSO)Cl] (1), utilizing 6,7-dichloro-5,8-quinolinedione (ClClQ) as a ligand, has been synthesized and fully characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other spectroscopic and analytical methods revealed that the coordination geometry of Pt(II) in complex 1 can also be described as a four-coordinated square planar geometry. The aim of the study was to explore the in vitro anticancer properties of complex 1. Our studies showed that complex 1 can regulate the viability of testicular seminoma cells in vitro, including cell proliferation and apoptosis. We further observed negative regulation by complex 1 of the expression levels of the key elements in the phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) pathway, including phosphorylated phosphoinositide-3 kinase (p-PI3K), phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-Akt) and phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK3β). Moreover, the negative effect of complex 1 was reversed by LiCl, a GSK3β-specific inhibitor of the PI3K signaling pathway. Meanwhile, the levels of Bcl2 associated death promoter (Bad), cytochrome c, active-caspase-3 and active-caspase-9 increased significantly. In conclusion, we observed that complex 1 can regulate the viability of testicular seminoma cells through the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway and the mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway in vitro, and thus, complex 1 may have potential for use as a drug in the treatment of testicular germ cell tumors.
