Abstract
The preparation of two novel bis(acridine)platinum(II) complexes is reported. The 4+ charged conjugates associate strongly with double-stranded native DNA (K(i)>10(6)), possibly through bisintercalation. A cell viability assay was used to demonstrate that both compounds are capable of mediating cytotoxicity at micromolar concentrations in SNB19 brain tumor cells.Entities:
