Abstract

Platinum(II) coordination complex(cisplatin) has been currently used as one of the most effective compounds in the treatment of various solid tumors. However. its use has been limited by severe side effects such as renal toxicity. Our platinum-based drug discovery program has been aimed at developing drugs capable of diminishing toxicity and improving selective cytotoxicity. (omitted)
