Cisplatin cytotoxicity: a theoretical study of induced mutations

Abstract: We investigate possible mutations in the genetic code induced by cisplatin with an approach combining molecular dynamics (MD) and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations. Specifically, the impact of platination on the natural tautomeric equilibrium in guanine-cytosine (GC) base pairs is assessed to disclose the possible role played by non-canonical forms in anti-tumour activity. To obtain valuable predictions, the main interactions present in a real DNA environment, namely hydration a… Show more

“…[70][71][72] It seems that the density functional theory model used in this paper is reliable. In addition, the obtained lengths have the difference within 0.001 Å by comparing with those reported by Schaefer et al [57] and Cerón-Carrasco et al, [73] which indicates the structure of A·U base pair is reasonable in this paper.…”

“…In fact, the less stable A‐T tautomers can also be implicated in biological phenomena if these are sufficiently fast, that is, of the same order of time as this unstable structure. In these studies on the G‐C base pair, the energetic and structural changes of this base pair due to Pt complex binding,1315 the properties of their radical anions16, 17 and cations,18 and the mutual relationship between stacking and hydrogen bonding through complete DFT optimisation19 have been investigated. The results show that the metal complex binding induces a single‐proton transfer reaction1315 with the hydrogen bond in O(G)–HN(C) lengthened (stronger), whereas the other hydrogen bonds are shortened (weaker) 13.…”

“…Although the intensity appears to depend on the molecular dimensions, a nearly linear correlation between the oscillator strength and the distance between the terminal atoms of the polyene chain, as found for the b-carotene isomers, [40] cannot be set up here. Proceeding to the absorption wavelengths, it is noteworthy that the s-cis rotamers tstt and tstst (see Figure 1 for labeling) are red-shifted with respect to ttt.…”
