Interaction of bis(alkylamine)dichloropalladium(II) complexes with CT-DNA and BSA; their synthesis, characterization, antitumor, and antibacterial evaluations.

A series of five new and analogous palladium(II) alkylamine complexes of cisplatin derivatives such as cis-[Pd(alkyl-am)Cl], where alkyl-am is Ethyl-, Propyl-, Butyl-, Hexyl-, and Octyl-amine, have been prepared. They have been characterized by physicochemical methods such as FT-IR, H-NMR, UV-Vis, conductivity measurements and elemental analysis. These synthesized metal complexes were screened for their antitumor activity against human MOLT-4 cells.
