Abstract

Two potentially hydrophilic platinum (II) complexes 10 and 11 bound to the minor groove binder stallimycin (distamycin A, CAS 636-47-5) by L-cysteine and D,L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid have been synthesized. The in vitro cytotoxicity of both these complexes was evaluated against several cell lines. None of the synthesized platinum complexes showed greater activity than that of cisplatin (cis-DDP, 1) (CAS 15663-27-1). Interestingly, the free ligands 6 and 9 were more active than the related platinum complexes 10 and 11, respectively, with respect to RAJI, CCRF-CEM and MOLT-4 human leukaemia cell lines.
