A series of new neutral dicarboxylatoplatinum(II) complexes, containing D(+), L(−) or DL-malate dianion and ethylenediamine, 1-ethylimidazole or 1-propylimidazole as amine ligands, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, t.l.c., conductance, i.r., n.m.r., mass spectra (m/z) and electronic spectra. The new cytotoxic malatoplatinum(II) complexes are very soluble in water and resist hydrolysis. Their reactivity against glutathione is comparable with the reactivity of carboplatin, which suggests that these new complexes may be promising candidates in the search for low toxicity platinum cytostatics. |
