MCQ
The complex used as an anticancer agent is:
  • A
    trans-[Co(NH3​)3​Cl3​]
  • B
    cis-[PtCl2​(NH3​)2​]
  • C
    cis-K2​[PtCl2​Br2​]
  • D
    Na2​CO3

Answer

  1. cis-[PtCl2​(NH3​)2​]

Explanation:

Cisplatin, or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)[2] (CDDP) is a chemotherapy drug. It was the first member of a class of platinum-containing anti-cancer drugs, which now also includes carboplatin and oxaliplatin.

These platinum complexes react in vivo, binding to and causing crosslinking of DNA, which ultimately triggers apoptosis (programmed cell death).
