MCQ
The complex used as an anticancer agent is:
  • A
    trans$-[ \left.\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{Cl}_3\right]$
  • cis$- \left[\mathrm{PtCl}_2\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]$
  • C
    cis$- \mathrm{K}_2\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_2 \mathrm{Br}_2\right]$
  • D
    $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
cis$- \left[\mathrm{PtCl}_2\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]$
Cisplatin, or cis$-$diamminedichloroplatinum$\text{(II)[2] (CDDP)}$ 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 $\text{DNA},$ which ultimately triggers apoptosis $($programmed cell death$).$
