Phenanthriplatin, a monofunctional DNA-binding platinum anticancer drug candidate with unusual potency and cellular activity profile

Monofunctional platinum(II) complexes of general formula cis-[Pt(NH3)2(N-heterocycle)Cl]Cl bind DNA at a single site, inducing little distortion in the double helix. Despite this behavior, these compounds display significant antitumor properties, with a different spectrum of activity than that of cl...
