Novel Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes with 3-amino-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)-2,4-imidazolidenedione. Synthesis, physicochemical, chemometric and pharmacological investigation

Platinum(II) and platinum(IV) complexes with 3-amino-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)-2,4-imidazolidenedione (L) with general formulaе cis-PtL₂X₂]·nH₂O and PtL₂Cl₄], where X = Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻ and n = 2-4) were synthesized. The novel compounds were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectra, thermal analysis and molar conductivity. The geometry of Pt(II) complexes and of the organic ligand in the gas phase were optimized using the hybrid DFT method B3LYP with LANL2DZ and 6-31G** basis sets. Some physicochemical parameters as dipole moment, HOMO, LUMO energies and ESP charges were calculated. The comparison of the bond length and angles, obtained from the X-ray analysis and DFT calculations is realized. The cytotoxic effects of these complexes in human T-cell leukemia KE-37 (SKW-3) are reported.
