متن کاملDNA-binding activity and cytotoxicity of Pt-berenil compounds in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
The compounds of formula [Pt2Cl4(berenil)2]Cl4 and [Pt2Cl2(NH3)2(berenil)2]Cl4 were examined for cytotoxicity in breast cancer cell cultures and for inhibition of topoisomerases I and II. Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of these compounds employing a MTT assay and inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA in both MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells demonstrated that these compounds...
