Cisplatin analogues, cis-dichloro(ethylenediamine-N,N 0 -di-3-propanoic acid)platinum(II) (1) and cis-iodo(ethylenediamine-N,N 0 -di-3-propanoic acid)platinum(II) (2), as well as trans-dichloro-IV) (5) and trans-dibromo(propylenediamine-N,N 0 -diacetato)platinum(IV) (6), -([Pt(H 2 eddp)Cl 2 ], [Pt(Heddp)I], trans-[Pt(eddp)Cl 2 ], trans-[Pt(eddp)Br 2 ], trans-[Pt(pdda)Cl 2 ]and trans-[Pt(pdda)Br 2 ], respectively) were used to assess antitumor selectivity against human adenocarcinoma HeLa cells. The results show that different oxidation states of platinum, different halide ligands, chelating aminocarboxylato and diamine backbones have similar effects with edda-type ligands and activity is lower than for cisplatin.
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.
