Methods to map small-molecule binding sites on cellular RNAs are important for understanding interactions with both endogenous and exogenous compounds. Pt(ii) reagents are well-known DNA and RNA crosslinking agents, but sequence-specific and genome-wide identification of Pt targets following in-cell treatment is challenging. Here we describe application of high-throughput 'Pt-Seq' to identify Pt-rRNA adducts following treatment of S. cerevisiae with cisplatin.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent form of cancer among women and is a major contributor to cancer-related fatalities. Nanotechnology has provided novel approaches to drug delivery to cancer cells. In this work, we synthesized platinum (Pt) nanoparticles, functionalized them with glutamine, conjugated them with thiosemicarbazone (TSC), and characterized their anticancer effects on the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is an effective Platinum (Pt) based anticancer drug used in chemotherapy. However, its effectiveness is limited due to its instability in solvents, along with the side effects it causes due to DNA damage. Nanoparticles (NPs) were developed in vitro to address these issues by loading CDDP into various types of NPs, including metal, lipid, and biological NPs.

This work introduces a novel Pt(II) based prodrug TTFA-Platin that integrates a β-diketonate ligand TTFA with a platinum scaffold to structurally resemble carboplatin and offers intermediate kinetic lability between cisplatin and carboplatin, striking a balance between therapeutic efficacy and safety. A comprehensive stability and speciation study was conducted in various biological media, mapping the therapeutic effects of TTFA-Platin. A control molecule, TMK-Platin, was synthesized to further validate the structural-stability relationship, which displayed poor activatable features in biological systems.

In this project, we conducted micro-beam sensitivity mapping using the Diamond Light Source (DLS) synchrotron. We fabricated three samples with distinct metal contacts: Platinum (HPS-Pt) and Aluminium/Platinum (HPS-Al/Pt) on high-quality single crystal CVD diamond, and Platinum (VS-Pt) on lower purity single crystal CVD diamond. Our objective was to identify the most suitable sample for synchrotron measurements, particularly focusing on the lower purity sample due to its unique characteristics, such as thin nitrogen lines and substrate area.

For years, cancer has been the second cause of death worldwide, preceded by cardiovascular diseases only. The number of research groups focusing on the discovery of new drugs to treat cancer is growing and the aim is to look for more effective compounds that cause less severe side effects and do not suffer from therapeutic resistance. The metal complexes cisplatin and carboplatin are widely used in the chemotherapeutic treatment of various types of cancer, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
