Abstract

As part of a drug discovery program to develope more effective platinum-based anticancer drugs, a series of platinum complexes trans-diaminocyclohexane platinum bi sdiphenylphosphino - ethane ( KHPC- 002) cis-diaminocyclohexane platinum bi sdiphenylphosphino - ethane ( KHPC- 006) has been evaluated in vitro against 4 human carcinoma cell lines with those of cisplatin using a tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT assay). The cell lines were two human bladder carcinoma cell lines, HT-1197 and HT-1376, human colon carcinoma cell line, HCT-116, and prostate cancer cell line DU-145. in vitro cytotoxic potential of each platinum complex was expressed as the cytotoxicity index (Cl, %).
