Reaction of photoactive platinum anticancer complexes with biomolecules

Photoactive platinum compounds have the potential to reduce some of the debilitating side-effects associated with conventional chemotherapeutics, such as cisplatin. Stable platinum(IV) complexes which are reduced to active platinum(II) species only on irradiation, could provide a site-specific treat...
