Transplatinum complexes with N
Trans-platinum compounds comprising carboxylato groups are disclosed, with anti-cancer usefulness. The carboxylato groups participate in solubilizing trans-platinum compounds to which they are attached.
1. A trans-platinum (II) complex of formula trans-[Pt(carboxylato) 2 (L)(L′)] where carboxylato =a ligand derived from an anion of a carboxylic acid, and wherein said trans-platinum (II) complex is represented by formula (I) as follows:
wherein
i) RCOO— is a carboxylate anion of a carboxylic acid and R is H or an alkyl group which may be substituted or unsubstituted; and
ii) L and L′ are both planar heterocyclic amines, or
one of L or L′ is a planar heterocyclic amine and the other is selected from the group consisting of NH 3 a branched aliphatic amine, an iminoether, a primary amine, a secondary amine and an aliphatic nitrogen-containing heterocycle.
2. The trans-platinum (II) complex of claim 1 , wherein L is a planar amine and L′ is NH 3 .
3. The trans-platinum (II) complex of claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic nitrogen-containing heterocycle is selected from the group consisting of piperazine, piperidine and pyrazole.
4. The trans-platinum(II) complex of claim 1 , wherein said carboxylato ligand is selected from the group consisting of formate, acetate, hydroxyacetate, chloroacetate, trifluoroacetate and lactate including optical isomers thereof.
5. The trans-platinum (II) complex of claim 1 , wherein said planar heterocyclic amine is selected from the group consisting of pyridine, substituted pyridines, quinoline, subsituted quinolines, isoquinoline, substituted isoquinolines, thiazole, and substituted thiazoles.
6. The trans-platinum (U) complex of claim 1 , wherein R is H or an alkyl group which may be substituted or unsubstituted.
