Synthesis, characterization, and cytotoxicities of palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes containing fluorinated pyridinecarboxaldimines
摘要:
Condensation of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with several primary amines containing fluorine groups gave the corresponding pyridinecarboxaldimines (N-N'). Addition of these ligands to [MCl2(coe)](2) (M = Pd, Pt; coe = cis-cyclooctene) gave complexes of the type cis-MCl2(N-N') [Pd (3) Pt (4)] in moderate to high yields. All palladium and platinum complexes were examined for their potential cytotoxicities against OV2008 (human ovarian carcinoma) and the analogous cisplatin-resistant C13. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
