title: Synthesis, crystal structure and initial biological evaluation of the new enantiomerically pure chiral palladium(II) complex trans-bis[endo-(1R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]-heptan-2-amino]palladium(II)dichloride.
abstract: The palladium(II) complex trans-bis[(R)-(+)-bornylamino]palladium(II) dichloride was synthesised and characterised. The solid state structure of the complex was determined by X-ray structure analysis. The compound crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2(1) with a=12.383(2), b=23.689(5), c=12.769(3) A, beta=93.25(3) degrees, and V=3739.6(13) A(3). The complex was tested for its cytotoxicity against L(929), K(562) and HeLa cell lines using the MTT assay technique. It is also tested for its anticomplementary activity using a test that detects complement proteins inhibition. These activities were compared with those of the reference standards, cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin. The significance of these results is given and discussed.
