Abstract:
Substituting the ligands of cisplatin is recognized as a significant strategy to create new platinum-based antitumor drugs. In this study, the mono-substituent effect of three typical superhalogens, namely Al13, BO2, and BF4, on the structure, electronic properties, and chemical reactivity of cisplatin has been investigated with the assistance of density functional theory (DFT). The mono-substitution of superhalogens for one chlorine ligand of cisplatin results in the formation of a weakly polar covalent bond in Pt-Al13 and the strong polar covalent bonds in Pt-BO2 and Pt-BF4. Interestingly, the energy barriers for the hydrolysis of superhalogen ligands of Pt-BO2 and Pt-BF4 are lower than that for the hydrolysis of Cl ligand of cisplatin, suggesting that these two derivatives may have enhanced biological activity. Thereby, this study provides a superhalogen-substituent strategy to develop analogues of cisplatin with improved anticancer activity from a theoretical point of view.
