Abstract

To efficiently access asymmetric cis platinum (II) complexes for biological evaluation, a new solid-phase synthesis was designed. This synthesis was used for the preparation of a small library of platinum compounds. Several compounds from this library revealed promising activity during a cytotoxicity screen. Two active compounds were, therefore, synthesised on a larger scale and tested more extensively against a larger panel of cell-lines, confirming their high potential as antitumour compounds. The work presented illustrates how a combination of a new methodology and established techniques can speed up the search for platinum complexes with improved cytotoxic profiles compared to cisplatin.
