Y. Mikata et al., Unprecedented sugar-dependent in vivo antitumor activity of carbohydrate-pendant cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) complexes, BIOORG MED, 11(23), 2001, pp. 3045-3047
Eight carbohydrate-pendant platinum(II) complexes have been synthesized fro
m carbohydrate-diamine conjugates. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, D-xyl
ose, and L-glucose are attached to the dichloroplatinum(II) moiety by 1,3-
or 1,2-diaminopropane chelates through with an O-glycoside bond. All the ca
rbohydrate moieties reduced the toxicity inherent with platinum(II) complex
