Abstract

This paper describes a reinvestigation of the literature concerning the synthesis and structural characterization of the platinum(IV)-based anticancer drug known as CPA-7 and believed to be the compound fac-[PtCl3(NO2)(NH 3)2]. CPA-7 has previously been extensively investigated for its ability to control tumor cell growth by inhibition of Stat3 signaling, but very little information is available concerning its synthesis or spectroscopic properties. A reproducible synthetic route is shown to produce an active material which is characterized by IR and (1)H, (14)N, (15)N, and (195)Pt NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The freshly prepared drug is obtained as a single isomer which may in fact be fac- or mer-[PtCl3(NO2)(NH3)2], but recrystallization resulted in a disordered crystal containing approximately equal amounts of the two geometric isomers.
