Abstract
A novel, water-soluble trans-platinum complex was synthesized by inclusion complexation with β-cyclodextrin. The complexation was confirmed by 1H NMR, FTIR, TGA, and XRD as well as by SEM and EDX. As the precursor complex is not water-soluble, it is difficult to employ it for biological applications. Here, we report that the encapsulation with cyclodextrin allowed to solubilize the complex to a solubility value of 1.6 mg/mL. Moreover, the cytotoxicity in vitro of the novel inclusion complex indicated a much higher activity after encapsulation.
