Abstract

Carboplatin (CPT), today the most important platinum(II) anticancer drug, manifests an extreme kinetic inertness, in vitro, at physiological pH; the actual mechanisms for its activation inside cells are still poorly understood. We show here that horse heart cytochrome c reacts with CPT, leading to the formation of stable platinum/protein adducts. The two major CPT–cytochrome c species resulting from the aforementioned reaction were characterised by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Notably, both these adducts have the ability to react with guanosine 5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP), giving rise to the respective cytochrome c–CPT–5′-GMP ternary complexes. Additional ESI-MS measurements on enzymatically cleaved cytochrome c adducts suggest that protein platination probably occurs at Met65. The mechanistic implications of these findings are discussed.
