An efficient cyclization of alkyne-acids to enol-lactones catalyzed by anticancer platinum(II) and platinum(IV) compounds is described. These compounds are not only DNA-binding complexes; they can also catalyze reactions in solvents such as acetone, methanol, water or blood plasma.

Cisplatin and oxaliplatin are Pt(II) anticancer agents that are used to treat several cancers, usually in combination with other drugs. Their efficacy is diminished by dose-limiting peripheral neuropathy (PN) that affects ∼70% of patients. PN is caused by selective accumulation of the platinum drugs in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), which overexpress transporters for cisplatin and oxaliplatin.

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway exhibits great potential in remodeling the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and initiating antitumor immunity. However, how to effectively activate STING and avoid undesired toxicity after systemic administration remains challenging. Herein, platinum(IV)-backboned polymer prodrug-coated manganese oxide nanoparticles (DHP/MnONP) with pH/redox dual responsive properties are developed to precisely release cisplatin and Mn in the tumor microenvironment and synergistically amplify STING activation.

The therapeutic management of melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, remains challenging. In the search for more effective therapeutic options, metal-based complexes are being investigated for their anticancer properties. Cisplatin was the first clinically approved platinum-based drug and, based on its success, other metals (e.

This study investigates the structural, vibrational, and biological properties of novel palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with 5-chloro-7-azaindole-3-carbaldehyde (5ClL) and 4-chloro-7-azaindole-3-carbaldehyde (4ClL) ligands. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy, combined with DFT (ωB97X-D) calculations, provided valuable information about metal-ligand interactions, the or conformation of the aldehyde group in the ligands, and the presence of isomers in the metal complexes obtained in the solid state. tests were used to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of the novel complexes against several cancer cell lines, including ovarian cancer (A2780), cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer (A2780cis), colon cancer (HT-29), and triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), as well as normal mouse fibroblasts (BALB/3T3).

Cisplatin (DDP), a platinum-chelated compound renowned for its antitumor activity, is often utilized in cancer therapy. However, its real-world clinical efficacy is compromised by poor solubility and low stability, which impedes wider clinical application. Our study aimed to address these limitations of DDP through host-guest supramolecular chemistry approaches.
