Interactions of hydrated cisplatin complexes with sulphur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine were explored. The square-planar cis-[Pt(NH3)2(H2O)X]+ complexes (where X=Cl- and OH-) were chosen as mono- and dihydrated reactants. Calculations using density functional theory (DFT) techniques with B3LYP functional were performed. The isolated molecules and the supermolecular approaches were employed for the determination of the reaction energies. Bond dissociation energies (BDE) were estimated in the model of isolated molecules and supermolecules were used for the determination of the association energies between the two interacting parts. Formation of monodentate complexes by replacing the aqua-ligand with the S, N, and O-sites of both amino acids represents an exothermic process. The highest BDE was found in cysteine structures for the Pt-S coordination. The bonding energy is about 114 kcal/mol, which is comparable with cisplatin-guanine adducts. Analogous BDE for methionine complexes is smaller by about 40 kcal/mol. This correlates well with the known fact that cysteine forms irreversible cisplatin adducts while similar adducts in the methionine case are reversible. The formation of chelate structures is an exothermic reaction only for the hydroxo-form of reactants in the supermolecular approach where additional association interactions between the released water and chelate molecules sufficiently stabilize the final product.
