Abstract
The syntheses, structures and biological evaluation of a series of cisplatin-like complexes containing bis(imidazole) derivatives - the so-called Joseph ligands - are described. Their cytotoxicity is discussed in terms of their polar surface area, rate of aquation, and lipophilicity. The X-ray crystal structure of the platinum diiodido derivative of dimethyl 2-(di(1H-imidazol-2- yl)methyl)malonate) is reported and compared to those of related systems. Molecular modeling studies are focused on the hydrogen bonding properties of such systems, and their relevance to antitumor activity.
