Platinum(IV) prodrugs are highly promising anticancer agents because they can selectively target tumors and minimize the adverse effects associated with their Pt congeners. In this study, we synthesized dual action Pt complexes by linking oxoplatin with lithocholic acid. The synthesized compounds, designated as PL-I, PL-II, and PL-III, can spontaneously self-assemble in water, resulting in the formation of spherical shape nanoparticles.
