Abstract

Reaction of the dinuclear chelate ring complex [Pt2Cl2(Saf-1H)2], Saf-1H: deprotonated safrole, with various amines afforded cis-[Pt(Saf-1H)(Am)Cl], Am: NH3 (1), Me2NH (2), Et2NH (3), morpholine (4), cyclohexylamine (5), benzylamine (6), aniline (7), o-toluidine (8), m-toluidine (9), p-toluidine (10), pyridine (11), 2-aminopyridine (12), and quinoline (13). The 1H NMR and nuclear overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) spectra of the reported complexes were accurately analyzed. NOESY spectra show that the complexes have a cis-configuration, in which the alkyl and aryl groups of coordinated amines are in proximity to the allyl group of chelating safrole. Complexes 11, 12, and 13 exhibit inhibitory activities on human cancer cells HepG2 and Lu with IC50 = 2.5–5.0 µg mL−1.
