Abstract:3 Pt(IV) complexes with 3-ethyl-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin (4), 3-propyl-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin (5) and 3-benzyl-5-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)hydantoin (6) with general formulae cis-[Pt(L)2Cl4] were synthesized. The novel compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H, 13C, NMR spectra in solid state and in solution. The studies showed that the ligands coordinate to the platinum ions in a monodentate manner through the nitrogen atom from the pyridine ring. The cytotoxic activity in vitro of … Show more
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.
