Visible light irradiation of inert [PtIV(diam(m)ine)(diazide)] complexes leads to reductive elimination of the azide ligands, production of N2, and formation of bifunctional adducts with guanine bases of the type which are lethal to cancer cells (see scheme).
Aktiv durch Licht: Die Bestrahlung von inerten [PtIV(diam(m)in)(diazido)]‐Komplexen mit sichtbarem Licht bewirkt reduktive Eliminierung der Azidoliganden und Freisetzung von N2. Die so erzeugte Pt‐Spezies bildet mit Guaninresten Addukte mit letaler Wirkung auf Krebszellen (siehe Schema).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
