Abstract
Due to the similarity between Pd and Pt, the complexes of palladium(II) can be considered as potential anticancer agents. Activity of six PdCl2(X2Py)2 complexes (Py = pyridine, and X = CH3 or Cl) was measured by MTT test using MCF7, CCRF-SB, PC3 and human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines. We found that the effect of PdCl2(XnPy)2 was cell-specific and time-dependent. Obtained results were discussed and compared with the activation parameters calculated for the hydrolysis of PdCl2(XnPy)2, indicating a correlation between viability of MCF7 and CCRF-SB cells and rates of hydrolysis of the Pd(II) complexes.
