Unusual dimeric chemical structure for a carboplatin analogue as a potential anticancer complex.
An unexpected and unusual dimeric platinum(II) tetracarboxylate complex was obtained by the reaction of cis-[Pt(NH(3))(2)I(2)] with disilver dicarboxylate. The complex exhibits greater in vitro anticancer activity and lower toxicity in mice than its parent compound, carboplatin, and is therefore worthy of further evaluation as a potential antitumor dinuclear platinum agent.
