Affinities to Oxaliplatin: Vitamins from B Group vs. Nucleobases.

ABSTRACT: Oxaliplatin, similar to Cisplatin, exhibits anticancer activity by interacting with DNA and inducing programmed cell death. It is biotransformed through a number of spontaneous and non-enzymatic processes. In this way, several transient reactive species are formed, including dichloro-, monochloro-, and diaqua-DACH platin, which can complex with DNA and other macromolecules. The molecular level suggests that such interactions can also take place with vitamins containing aromatic rings with lone pair orbitals. Theoretical and experimental studies were performed to investigate interactions of vitamins from the B group with Oxaliplatin, and the results were compared with values characterizing native purines. Quantum-chemical simulations were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level, with the
