Abstract: Many metal co-ordination complexes have been investigated as potential anti-cancer drugs with a rich diversity of effects and toxicity (1). One of the most successful is cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), which is an active anti-tumor agent at low concentration. Many complexes containing a variety of amines have been synthesized and tested, again with a wide range of effectiveness (1). We wish to report the synthesis of five new platinum complexes and the results of preliminary screening for potential anti-cancer activity.
