Cis,cis,trans-[PtIVCl2(NH3)2(perillato)2], a dual-action prodrug with excellent cytotoxic and antimetastatic activity

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Two Pt(iv) conjugates containing one or two molecules of perillic acid (4-isopropenylcyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid), an active metabolite of limonene, were synthesized both with traditional and microwave-assisted methods and characterized. Their antiproliferative activity was tested on a panel of human tumor cell lines. In particular,cis,cis,trans-[PtIVCl2(NH3)2(perillato)2] exhibited excellent antiproliferative and antimetastatic activity on A-549 lung tumor cells at nanomolar concentrations. A number ofin vitrobiological tests were performed to decipher some aspects of its mechanism of action, including transwell migration and invasion as well as wound healing assay.
