modifications of the PtPFPP scaffold were performed according to the
modified methods.21 (link),22 (link) Briefly, the corresponding thiol-containing
reagent was incubated with PtPFPP in DMF/methanol at molar ratios
of 2:1–10:1 in the presence of 10 M excess of the TEA base.
Reactions were monitored on an 1100 Series analytical HPLC (Agilent)
on a YMC-Actus Triart C18, 150 × 4.5 mm2 I.D RP column,
using a 30 min gradient 0 → 100% of acetonitrile in aqueous
1% TFA and a flow rate of 0.63 mL/min. Preparative RP-HPLC purification
was performed on a Gilson PLC2250, using a YMC-Actus Triart C18, 150
× 20 mm2 I.D. RP column (YMC) and the same solvent
mixture in a 40 min gradient and a flow rate of 18.9 mL/min.
