Yh. He et al., SYNTHESIS AND IN-VITRO BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF NEW TRIPHENYLETHYLENEPLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(19), 1995, pp. 2217-2222
In our search for a chemotherapeutic agent with a better therapeutic i
ndex and selectivity for the treatment of breast cancer, we have synth
esized cytotoxic triphenylethylene derivatives. The synthesis of this
type of compound is straightforward and efficient. The biological acti
vity of these compounds was evaluated in vitro on ER+ and ER- human br
east tumor cell lines: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.
