Platinum(IV)-azido monocarboxylato complexes are photocytotoxic under irradiation with visible light. Dalton Trans 2021; 50:10593-10607.

Abstract
Complexes trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)(OCOR)(py)2] where py = pyridine and where OCOR = succinate (1); 4-oxo-4-propoxybutanoate (2) and N-methylisatoate (3) have been synthesized by derivation of trans,trans,trans-[Pt(OH)2(N3)2(py)2] (4) and characterised by NMR and EPR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and X-ray crystallography. Irradiation of 1-3 with green (517 nm) light initiated photoreduction to Pt(ii) and release of the axial ligands at a 3-fold faster rate than for 4. TD-DFT calculations showed dissociative transitions at longer wavelengths for 1 compared to 4. Complexes 1 and 2 showed greater photocytotoxicity than 4 when irradiated with 420 nm light (A2780 cell line IC50 values: 2.7 and 3.7 μM) and complex 2 was particularly active towards the cisplatin-resistant cell line A2780cis (IC50 3.7 μM). Unlike 4, complexes 1-3 were phototoxic under green light irradiation (517 nm), with minimal toxicity in the dark. A pKa(H2O) of 5.13 for the free carboxylate group was determined for 1, corresponding to an overall negative charge during biological experiments, which crucially, did not appear to impede cellular accumulation and photocytotoxicity.

Abstract
Platinum azide complexes are appealing anticancer photochemotherapy drug candidates because they release cytotoxic azide radicals upon light irradiation. Here we present a density matrix renormalization group self-consistent field (DMRG-SCF) study of the azide photodissociation mechanism of trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(NH3)2], including spin-orbit coupling. We find a complex interplay of singlet and triplet electronic excited states that falls into three different dissociation channels at well-separated energies. These channels can be accessed either via direct excitation into barrierless dissociative states or via intermediate doorway states from which the system undergoes non-radiative internal conversion and intersystem crossing. The high density of states, particularly of spin-mixed states, is key to aid non-radiative population transfer and enhance photodissociation along the lowest electronic excited states.

Abstract
In this Minireview, we highlight recent advances in the design of transition metal complexes for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the translation of such agents into clinical use. New designs for light-activated transition metal complexes offer photoactivatable prodrugs with novel targeted mechanisms of action. Light irradiation can provide spatial and temporal control of drug activation, increasing selectivity and reducing side-effects. The photophysical and photochemical properties of transition metal complexes can be controlled by the appropriate choice of the metal, its oxidation state, the number and types of ligands, and the coordination geometry.

Abstract
Ru(II) -Pt(II) complexes are a class of bioactive molecules of interest as anticancer agents that combine a light-absorbing chromophore with a cisplatin-like unit. The results of a DFT and TDDFT investigation of a Ru(II) complex and its conjugate with a cis-PtCl2 moiety reveal that a synergistic effect of the metals makes the assembly a promising multitarget anticancer drug. Inspection of type I and type II photoreactions and spin-orbit coupling computations reveals that the cis-PtCl2 moiety improves the photophysical properties of the Ru(II) chromophore, ensuring efficient singlet oxygen generation and making the assembly suitable for photodynamic therapy. At the same time, the Ru(II) chromophore promotes a new alternative activation mechanism of the Pt(II) ligand via a triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer ((3) MLCT) state, before reaching the biological target. The importance of the supramolecular architecture is accurately derived, opening interesting new perspectives on the use of bimetallic Ru(II) -Pt(II) assemblies in a combined anticancer approach.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are widely applied for the treatment of various types of tumours. Over the last few decades, a large variety of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes have been developed to improve the applicability in a wider spectrum of cancers, increase their therapeutic window and reduce the dose-limiting side effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which is the administration of a photosensitiser followed by visible light activation, is a promising route to avoid damage to healthy cells and the surrounding tissue. Transition metal complexes as photochemotherapeutic agents are an attractive option for further development in the field of photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT). These complexes exhibit different numbers and types of excited states which are easily accessible upon light irradiation, subsequently giving rise to the formation of various photoproducts that can enable a distinct mode of action. Platinum-diazido complexes are promising candidates for PACT due to the low cytotoxicity when irradiated with visible light. This review summarises the mode of action of current platinum anticancer drugs with cisplatin as a lead example and the development of non-conventional Pt(II) complexes. Background information regarding PDT the photophysical and photochemical properties of metal complexes is provided, as well as notable examples of photoactivated metal complexes with biological activity. Particular emphasis is placed on recent developments on platinum photoactivated drugs.

Abstract
Various Pt(IV) diazides have been investigated over the years as light-activatable prodrugs that interfere with cell proliferation, accumulate in cancer cells and cause cell death. The potencies of the complexes vary depending on the substituted amines (pyridine=piperidine>ammine) as well as the coordination geometry (trans diazide>cis). Light-activated Pt(IV) diazides tend to be less specific than cisplatin at inhibiting cancer cell growth, but cells resistant to cisplatin show little cross-resistance to Pt(IV) diazides. Platinum is accumulated in the cancer cells to a similar level as cisplatin, but only when activated by light, indicating that reactive Pt species form photolytically. Studies show that Pt also becomes attached to cellular DNA upon the light activation of various Pt(IV) diazides. Structures of some of the photolysis products were elucidated by LC-MS/MS; monoaqua- and diaqua-Pt(II) complexes form that are reactive towards biomolecules such as calf thymus DNA. Platination of calf thymus DNA can be blocked by the addition of nucleophiles such as glutathione and chloride, further evidence that aqua-Pt(II) species form upon irradiation. Evidence is presented that reactive oxygen species may be generated in the first hours following photoactivation. Cell death does not take the usual apoptotic pathways seen with cisplatin, but appears to involve autophagy. Thus, photoactivated diazido-Pt(IV) complexes represent an interesting class of potential anti-cancer agents that can be selectively activated by light and kill cells by a mechanism different to the anti-cancer drug cisplatin.

Abstract
Platinum diam(m)ine complexes, such as cisplatin, are successful anticancer drugs, but suffer from problems of resistance and side-effects. Photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrugs offer the potential of targeted drug release and new mechanisms of action. We report the synthesis, X-ray crystallographic and spectroscopic properties of photoactivatable diazido complexes trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(MA)(Py)] (1; MA=methylamine, Py=pyridine) and trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(MA)(Tz)] (2; Tz=thiazole), and interpret their photophysical properties by TD-DFT modelling. The orientation of the azido groups is highly dependent on H bonding and crystal packing, as shown by polymorphs 1p and 1q. Complexes 1 and 2 are stable in the dark towards hydrolysis and glutathione reduction, but undergo rapid photoreduction with UVA or blue light with minimal amine photodissociation. They are over an order of magnitude more potent towards HaCaT keratinocytes, A2780 ovarian, and OE19 oesophageal carcinoma cells than cisplatin and show particular potency towards cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cells (A2780cis). Analysis of binding to calf-thymus (CT), plasmids, oligonucleotide DNA and individual nucleotides reveals that photoactivated 1 and 2 form both mono- and bifunctional DNA lesions, with preference for G and C, similar to transplatin, but with significantly larger unwinding angles and a higher percentage of interstrand cross-links, with evidence for DNA strand cross-linking further supported by a comet assay. DNA lesions of 1 and 2 on a 50 bp duplex were not recognised by HMGB1 protein, in contrast to cisplatin-type lesions. The photo-induced platination reactions of DNA by 1 and 2 show similarities with the products of the dark reactions of the Pt(II) compounds trans-[PtCl2(MA)(Py)] (5) and trans-[PtCl2(MA)(Tz)] (6). Following photoactivation, complex 2 reacted most rapidly with CT DNA, followed by 1, whereas the dark reactions of 5 and 6 with DNA were comparatively slow. Complexes 1 and 2 can therefore give rapid potent photocytotoxicity and novel DNA lesions in cancer cells, with no activity in the absence of irradiation.

Abstract
Photoactivatable Pt(IV) diazido complexes have unusual photobiologic properties. We show here that trans,trans,trans-[Pt(IV)(N(3))(2)(OH)(2)(py)(NH(3))] complex 3 is a potent photoactivated cytotoxin toward human cancer cells in culture, with an average IC(50) value in 13 cell lines of 55 ± 28 μmol/L after 30 minutes (0.12 mW/cm(2)) photoactivation with UVA, although visible light was also effective. Photoactivated complex 3 was noncross-resistant to cisplatin in 3 of 4 resistant cell lines. Cell swelling but very little blebbing was seen for HL60 cells treated with irradiated complex 3. Unlike cisplatin and etoposide, both of which cause apoptosis in HL60 cells, no apoptosis was observed for UVA-activated complex 3 by the Annexin V/propidium iodide flow cytotometry assay. Changes in the levels of the autophagic proteins LC3B-II and p62 in HL60 cells treated with UVA-activated complex 3 indicate autophagy is active during cell death. In a clonogenic assay with the SISO human cervix cancer cell line, 3 inhibited colony formation when activated by UVA irradiation. Antitumor activity of complex 3 in mice bearing xenografted OE19 esophageal carcinoma tumors was photoaugmented by visible light. Insights into the novel reaction pathways of complex 3 have been obtained from (14)N{(1)H} nuclear magnetic resonance studies, which show that photoactivation pathways can involve release of free azide in buffered solution. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations revealed the dissociative character of singlet and triplet excited states of complex 3, which gives rise to reactive, possibly cytotoxic azidyl radicals.

Abstract
An oxaliplatin pro-drug (Oxa(IV)-COOH) with an axial carboxyl group was synthesized and conjugated to biodegradable polymers with pendant hydroxyl groups to prepare polymer-Oxa(IV) conjugates. A hydrophobic anthracycline-based drug, daunorubicin (DRB) was conjugated to similar biodegradable polymers with carboxyl groups to synthesize polymer-DRB conjugates. The two drug conjugates have the similar polymer backbone and are amphiphilic; thus, they can co-assemble into composite micelles. In the composite micelles, the polymer-Oxa(IV) conjugates can release clinically widely used water soluble anticancer drug oxaliplatin (Oxa(II)) upon reduction, while polymer-DRB conjugate is thought to release DRB via acid hydrolysis in the cancer cells. In this way, combination of the hydrophilic platinum drug Oxa(II) and hydrophobic drug DRB can be realized by delivering them in one platform. Moreover, the composite micelles showed reduced systematic toxicity and greater synergistic effect than combination of small molecules of the two anticancer drugs both in vitro and in vivo; thus, this polymer based combination therapy can be useful in future clinic application.
