Özet

In vitro cytotoxic activities of four platinum(II) and four platinum(IV) complexes with the structures [PtL2Cl2], [PtL 2I2] and [PtL2Cl4], [PtL 2Cl2(OH)2] (L= 5(6)-non/chlorosubstituted-2- hydroxymethyl benzimidazole ligands as "non-leaving groups") respectively were tested on the human HEp-2 (larynx carcinoma) cell line using Cell Culture Method. In general the complexes, which were found to be more active than carboplatin exhibited moderate cyctotoxicity comparable to cisplatin on the human HEp-2 cell line.
