Abstract
- We have synthesized a novel platinum(II) coordination complex
containing cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) as a carrier ligand and
1,3-dichloropropane (DCP) as a leaving group. A new series of
(Pt(cis-DACH)(DCP))(PC) was evaluated for its cytotoxic: activity on
MKN-45 human gastric adenocarcinoma cells and normal primary cultured
kidney cells. The new platinum complex has demonstrated high efficacy in
the cytotoxicity against MKN-45/P, MKN-45/ADM and MKN-45/CDDP cell-lines.
The cytotoxicity of PC against rabbit proximal renal tubular cells, human
renal cortical cells and human renal cortical tissues, determined by MTT
assay, 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.
