The Synthesis, in Silico Characterization and in Vitro and in Vivo Evaluation of Platinum (IV) Complexes as Potential Breast-Cancer Treatments
摘要
Despite several approved chemotherapeutic agents, the mortality rate from breast cancer remains high. Two tetraorganylammonium and two organyltriphenylphosphonium platinum (IV) compounds were synthesized in relatively high yield. The crystal structures were resolved, and the complexes were characterized using infrared and NMR spectroscopy. All four complexes were tested for their ability to inhibit cancer cell proliferation using the MCF–7 breast cancer cell line. Quantum chemistry calculations yielded geometries in a water solution. Of the four compounds, AV1 showed the highest inhibitory potential with an experimentally determined IC
