The presence of cis-configured exchangeable ligands has long been considered a prerequisite for antitumor activity of platinum complexes, but over the past few years, several examples violating this structure-activity relationship have been recognized. We report here on studies with the geometric isomers of [PtCl2(acetoxime)2], cis-[dichlorobis(acetoxime)platinum(II)] [1 (cis)] and trans-[dichl...

It has been shown recently that some analogues of clinically ineffective trans-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (transplatin) exhibit antitumor activity. This finding has inverted the empirical structure-antitumor activity relationships delineated for platinum(II) complexes, according to which only the cis geometry of leaving ligands in the bifunctional platinum complexes is therapeutically active...

Five oxaliplatin-typed platinum complexes containing trans-1R, 2R-diaminocyclohexane chelating platinum cores, characteristic of linear or branched alkoxycarboxylates as leaving groups, were biologically evaluated. These compounds showed higher antitumor activity, lower toxicity in vivo than cisplatin or oxaliplatin. And the results revealed that the antitumor activity and interaction with DNA ...

Platinum complexes remain widely used to combat various types of cancers. Three platinum complexes, cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin, are marketed for various oncological purposes. Additionally, nedaplatin, lobaplatin and heptaplatin have gained regionally limited approval for oncology purposes. Furthermore, various platinum derivatives are currently under clinical trials. More than 40 ye...

The antineoplastic platinum complexes cisplatin and its analogues are widely used in the chemotherapy of a variety of human malignancies, and are especially active against several types of cancers. Nedaplatin is a second-generation platinum complex with reduced nephrotoxicity. However, their use commonly causes nephrotoxicity due to a lack of tumor tissue selectivity. Several recent studies hav...

The widespread use of platinum in high-tech and catalytic applications has led to the production of diverse Pt loaded wastewaters. Effective recovery strategies are needed for the treatment of low concentrated waste streams to prevent pollution and to stimulate recovery of this precious resource. The biological recovery of five common environmental Pt-complexes was studied under acidic conditio...

Platinum bis-amidine complexes (both the cis and trans isomers) are stable in acetone and chlorinated solvents but are unstable in protic solvents such as methanol or water. In the latter solvents an initial cis/trans isomerization leads to formation of an equilibrium mixture with a cis/trans ratio of about 1:4; subsequently a dinuclear platinum(III) complex (1) is formed under aerobic conditio...

cis- and trans-Isomers of the platinum(II) nitrile complexes [PtCl2(NCR)2] (R = NMe2, N(C₅H10), Ph, CH2Ph) were examined as catalysts for hydrosilylation cross-linking of vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and trimethylsilyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-ethylhydrosiloxane) producing high quality silicone rubbers. Among the tested platinum species the cis-complexes are much more active...

The binding energy and Thermodynamic Parameters of cis- Platinum Di Ammino Chlorine (cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl]+) and trans- Platinum Di Ammino Chlorine (trans- [Pt(NH3)2Cl]+) complexes withGuanine has been studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations in water. The bindingenergies (Ebin) of cis- and trans-[Pt(NH3)2ClG]+ are calculated to be 79.38 kcal/mol and 74.98kcal/mol, respectively. The b...
