A new platinum(II) complex of [Pt II (L) (pn)]Cl·2H 2 O ( 1 ) (pn = 1,3-propanediamine) with 2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)imidazo [4,5-f]-[1,10]phenanthrolin (H-L) was synthesized and characterized. In complex 1 , the platinum adopts a four-coordinated square planar geometry. Complex 1 exhibited selective cytotoxicity against NCI–H460, BEL-7402, SK-OV-3, SK-OV-3/DDP and HeLa cell lines with IC 50 values in the micromolar range (9.7–35.8 μM), but low cytotoxicity toward normal human liver HL-7702 cells. Complex 1 caused HeLa cell cycle arrest at S phase and it induced HeLa apoptosis by the activation of caspase-3/9. Various experiments showed that complex 1 preferred to bind with G-quadruplex in c-myc. Taken together, we found that complex 1 exerted its antitumor activity mainly via inhibiting telomerase by interaction with c-myc quadruplex and activation of caspase-3/9. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
