Abstract

We have recently reported the synthesis of a platinum (II) complex, made of estradiol, the female sex hormone, and a cisplatin analog, an anticancer drug, linked together by an eleven carbon atoms chain. The novel estradiol-Pt (II) hybrid molecule was synthesized in nine chemical steps with 10% overall yield. This new compound has been tested in vitro on estrogen-dependent (MCF-7) and-independent (MDA-MD-231)(ER+ and ER−) cell lines. ...
