(57) [Summary]nA new family of 2,2 ': 6', 2 "-terpyridine platinum (II) complexes and substituted 2,2 ': 6 wherein the N- or O- or halonucleophile is the fourth ligand for platinum. ', 2 "-terpyridine platinum (II) complex. These compounds are effective DNA intercalating agents. Some have antitumor activity. Some have anthelmintic activity. A novel method for preparing these complexes involves the reaction of a Pt complex of 1,5-cyclooctadiene with 2,2 ': 6', 2 "-terpyridine. |
