Comment top

In an attempt to overcome drawbacks of cisplatin, numerous analogues have been prepared and evaluated in a search for an alternativeactive agent. Among them, cis-diammine(1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato)platinum(II) (Carboplatin) is commonly used for the treatment of testicular and ovarian cancer as well as cervical, bladder and head and neck tumors. It has proven to be the only second-generation platinum complex commercially available worldwide at present (Jakuper et al., 2003). But the application of Carboplatin in therapy is limited by the dose-dependent nephrotoxicity and other side effects. Therefore, the search for the new potent platinum complexes possessing high antitumor activity and lack of cross-resistance is needed. The title compound is a new soluble carboplatin analogue containing an asymmetric chelating malonate anion as its carrier and anticancer tests are presently being carried out.

The title complex consists of discrete monomeric units where the Pt(II) is coordinated by two crystallographically independent 2-methylpyridine ligands and 3-hydroxy-1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate anions with a square planar geometry (Table 1, Fig. 1) The 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate ligand displays similar features to those described in the literature (Tu et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2002; Ali et al., 2002). The six-membered chelate ring built up of the Pt(II) atom and the 3-hydroxy-1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate anion adopts a boat conformation and the two 2-methylpyridine liagnds are oriented perpendicular to each other.

Experimental top

Potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) (5 g, 12 mmol) was dissolved in water (50 ml) and treated with KI (12 g, 72 mmol). After left in a dark for 30 min at room temperature, a solution of 2-methylpyridine (1.08 g, 12 mmol in 50 ml water) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 4 h and the yellow precipitate was filtrated off. Then to a suspension of di(2-methylpyridine)PtI2 (2.5 g, 0.044 mmol) in 75 ml water was added (1.36 g, 3.65 mmol) disilver 3-hydroxy-1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 323 K for 72 h. Then the AgI formed was filtrated off and the filtrate was condensed at 313 K under reduced pressure to 5 ml, and a colourless crystalline product was precipitated. The compound was recrystallized from water to obtain crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis.

Refinement top

All H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier map but were positioned with idealized geometry and refined isotropic with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (1.5 for methyl H atoms) using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
