title: Synthesis, structural characterization, and antitumor activity of palladium(II) complexes containing a sugar unit.
abstract: Six palladium(II) complexes as cisplatin derivatives with a sugar unit (D-glucose, D-galactose, D-mannose, D-xylose, and maltose) have been prepared. The structural features of the complexes have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The complexes have been tested for in vivo cytotoxicity against P388 cells implanted in mice. All of Pd compounds are apparently nontoxic. A T/C value of 120% was obtained for maltose derivative at the dose of 400 mg/kg, which indicates that the compound may be endowed with antitumor activity.
