title: In the search for new anticancer drugs. VII. Platinum complexes of diaziridines and azetidine.
abstract: Three new diaziridine platinum(II) complexes (4a)-(4c), and a new azetidine platinum(II) complex (3b) were synthesized and tested against the lymphocytic leukemia P388 in mice. (formula; see text) Moderate to good activity was found for all compounds as evidenced by a T/C value of 162 at a dose of 32 mg/kg for (3b), 190 at a dose of 32 mg/kg for (4a), 139 at a dose of 4 mg/kg for (4b), and 142 at a dose of 20 mg/kg for (4c).
