title: Analogues of cisplatin derived from diaminodideoxytetritols. Synthesis and activity against the ADJ/PC6 plasmacytoma in mice.
abstract: Four new analogues of the anticancer drug cisplatin have been prepared that contain a diaminodideoxytetritol derivative as the amine ligand moiety, and their activities have been measured against the ADJ/PC6 plasmacytoma in mice. Two of these compounds, the enantiomers of cis-dichloro(1,4-diamino-1,4-dideoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidenethreitol) -platinum(II) , show a higher TI value than cisplatin when administered by intraperitoneal injection and, importantly, show significant antitumour activity when administered orally.
