The reaction of the redox-active ligand, Hpyramol (4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)aminophenol) with K(2)PtCl(4) yields monofunctional square-planar [Pt(pyrimol)Cl], PtL-Cl, which was structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy. This compound unexpectedly cleaves supercoiled double-stranded DNA stoichiometrically and oxidatively, in a non-specific manner
The binding capability of three ruthenium polypyridyl compounds of structural formula [Ru(apy)(tpy)Ln-](ClO4)(2-n) [1a-c; apy = 2,2'-azobis(pyridine), tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, L = Cl, H2O, CH3CN] to a fragment of DNA was studied. The interaction between each of these complexes and the

The dinuclear platinum complexes with aliphatic diamines [{cis-Pt(NH(3))(2)Cl}(2)(mu-H(2)N(CH(2))(6)NH(2))](NO(3))(2) (1,1/c,c) and [{trans-Pt(NH(3))(2)Cl}(2)(mu-H(2)N(CH(2))(4)NH(2))](NO(3))(2) (1,1/t,t), which are known to be highly active in vitro against several cancer cell lines, have been modified with a fluorogenic reporter (carboxyfluorescein diacetate, CFDA) and a hapten (dinitrophenyl

A photoactivated ruthenium(II) arene complex has been conjugated to two receptor-binding peptides, a dicarba analogue of octreotide and the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) tripeptide. These peptides can act as "tumor-targeting devices" since their receptors are overexpressed on the membranes of tumor cells.

Two chelating ligands based on secondary amines have been selected to prepare four new Pt(II) compounds. The ligands bis(pyridine-2-yl)amine, abbreviated dpa, and bis(pyrimidine-2-yl)amine, abbreviated dipm, are chosen to design a rigid chelating motif to allow the study of subtle differences
