Abstract

Reduction of anticancer prodrugs such as ctc-[PtCl2(CH3CO2)2(NH3)(Am)] can yield three products in addition to the expected cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(Am)]. A possible explanation is that reduction proceeds by several pathways where in addition to the loss of two axial ligands, one axial (acetato) and one equatorial (chlorido) ligand, or two equatorial ligands are eliminated.
