Unprecedented sugar-dependent in vivo antitumor activity of carbohydrate-pendant cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) complexes

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Dec 3;11(23):3045-7. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00623-0.

Abstract

Eight carbohydrate-pendant platinum(II) complexes have been synthesized from carbohydrate-diamine conjugates. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, D-xylose, and L-glucose are attached to the dichloroplatinum(II) moiety by 1,3- or 1,2-diaminopropane chelates through with an O-glycoside bond. All the carbohydrate moieties reduced the toxicity inherent with platinum(II) complexes.
