Abstract

A number of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane monomeric platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes have been synthesized in light of their potential antitumor activity. The metal center is coordinated with a number of carboxylate anions in the cis-configuration. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurement, and various spectroscopic techniques [IR and 195Pt NMR]. In vivo screening tests for activity of these complexes were performed against the L1210/0 murine leukemia cancer model, but none displayed a significant level of antitumor activity.
