Novel Pt(II) complexes, (TFPPy)PtPic and (TFPQ)PtPic, containing fluorinated phenylpyridine or phenylquinoline with pyridine-2-carboxylate as chelating ligands were synthesized according to rational design, their therapeutical activities examined. Remarkable radiosensitization SER values were observed even in radio-resistant cell line after treated with these complexes. Furthermore, the two complexes have shown antiviral activity against DNA virus HSV-1. Comply with live cell imaging results, molecular docking have revealed the complexes forms stable hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions to the minor groove of target DNA double helix. These findings demonstrate the non-classical structure complexes are promising for further evaluation as a new type of prodrug radiochemotherapy and antiviral treatment.
