Abstract
- We have synthesized a novel platinum(II) coordination complex
containing cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) as a carrier ligand and
1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) as a leaving group. In addition, nitrate was
added to improve the water-solubility. A new series of
(Pt(cis-DACH)(DCE)) cntdot 2NO3(PC) was evaluated for its cytotoxic
activity on T-24 and J-82 human bladder carcinoma cells and normal
primary cultured kidney cells. PC has demonstrated high levels of
cytotoxicity against T-24 and J-82 cells. The cytotoxicity of PC
against rabbit proximal renal tubular cells, human renal cortical cells
and human renal cortical tissues, determined using the MTT assaying
technique, the (3H)-thymidine uptake and glucose consumption tests, was
found to be quite less than those of cisplatin. Based on these results,
this novel platinum(II) coordination complex appears to be better for
improving antitumor activities with low nephrotoxicity and is a
valuable lead in the development of new clinically available anticancer
chemotherapeutic agents.
