Synthesis, characterization, interaction with DNA, and antitumor activity of a cis-Dichloroplatinum(II) complex linked to an intercalator via one methylene chain
A cisplatin-type complex tethered to acridine intercalator via one methylene chain has been synthesized. Its structure was elucidated by X-ray crystallography. A permeability into cell, interaction with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA), and antitumor activity against HeLa and P388 cells were studied. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
