Abstract
Pt(terpyridine) complexes are well-known DNA intercalators. The introduction of an NHC co-ligand rendered such a complex highly antiproliferative in cancer cells compared to its chlorido derivative. Despite the high potency, zebrafish embryos tolerated the compound well, especially compared to cisplatin. DNA interaction studies support a mode of action related to intercalation.
