[Pt(O,O’-acac)(γ-acac)(DMS)]: in vivo Studies of a Promising Anticancer Drug in Cancer Therapy

Abstract

The selectivity of [Pt(O,O’-acac)(γ-acac)(DMS)] stimulates a more detailed study aimed at pre-clinical investigation of its therapeutic potential in vivo. In this context, we employed a preclinical model based on the subcutaneous injection of MCF-7 breast cancer and ZL55 malignant pleural mesotelioma cell lines in SCID mice. Remarkably, [Pt(O,O’-acac)(γ- acac)(DMS)] stands out for higher anticancer activity than cisplatin toward both the murine tumor models examined, inducing up to 50% inhibition of tumor growth. We also demonstrated enhanced in vivo pharmacokinetics (PK), biodistribution and tolerability of [Pt(O,O’-acac)(γ-acac)(DMS)] when compared to cisplatin administered in Wistar rats. Altogether, these findings suggest that [Pt(O,O’-acac)(γ-acac)(DMS)] is a promising therapeutic agent for preventing growth of cancer, thus providing a solid starting point for its validation as a suitable candidate for further pharmacological testing.
