Abstract

The crystal structures of cis-Pt (NH3)(c-C6H11NH2) Cl2 and trans-Pt (NH3)(c-C6H11NH2) Cl2 are described as well as their reactions with 9-methylhypoxanthine and 5'-GMP. Related Platinum (IV) bis (carboxylate) complexes result in similar Pt (II)-DNA adducts as the major products. However, trans, trans, trans-Pt (NH3)(c-C6H11NH2) Cl2 (OH) 2 reacts only when a reducing agent like glutathione is present.
