A series of intercalator-tethered platinum(II) complexes PtLCl(2) have been prepared where L are the diamine ligands N-[2-[(aminoethyl)amino]ethyl]-9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamide, N-[3-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]propyl]-9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamide, N-[4-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]butyl]-9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamide and N-[5-[(aminoethyl)amino]pentyl]-9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamide and N-[6-[(aminoethyl)amino]hexyl]-9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamide. The activity of the complexes was assessed in the CH-1, CH-1cisR, 41M, 41McisR and SKOV-3 cell lines.

An in vitro transcription assay was used to probe the sequence specificity of the binding of phenazine-tethered platinum complexes to DNA. It was found that when compared to cis-dichloro(ethylenediamine)platinum(II), the number of RNA polymerase blockage sites was increased by approximately

Sensitivity to platinum-containing drugs is believed to be a function of how much drug enters the cell, the extent of DNA adduct formation and the rate at which DNA is repaired. Activation of protein kinase C by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was

A series of platinum dichloroethylenediamine complexes [PtCl2(R-en)] bearing a side chain on one carbon atom of the ethylenediamine ligand, with or without a functional group on the side chain, have been prepared and investigated for antitumor activity against L1210 leukemia.

Cross-resistance between cisplatin (DDP) and metalloid salts in human cells was sought on the basis that mechanisms that mediate metalloid salt cross-resistance in prokaryotes are evolutionarily conserved. Two ovarian and two head and neck carcinoma cell lines selected for DDP
