Il. Eremenko et al., SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE, AND ANTIMETASTATIC ACTIVITY OF THE TRANS-[PT(NC5H4C(O)NHC2H4ONO2)(2)CL-2] COMPLEX, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(9), 1997, pp. 1595-1598
The trans-[Pt(NC5H4C(O)NHC2H4ONO2)(2)CL2] complex (2) was prepared by
the reaction of nicorandyl (N-nitroethoxynicotinamide), which is widel
y used in cardiology, with K2PtCl4 in water. The structure of 2 was es
tablished by X-ray structural analysis. it was found that complex 2 ex
hibits high antitumor activity, in particular, antimetastatic activity
, unlike the analogous Cu-II complex with bromine atoms.
