Several platinum(II)-bile acid derivatives, named Bamets, have been previously synthesized. Their ability to interact with DNA, their cytostatic activity and their liver organotropic properties have been characterized. Two new compounds of this family, with particular structural properties, have been developed. Bamet-UD2 was formed by two ursodeoxycholic acid moieties bound by the carboxylate groups to cisplatin. In contrast, in Bamet-D3, glycine and a polyamine were used as tandem spacer elements to separate a cholic acid moiety from the platinum(II) atom. The aim of this work was to evaluate how these changes affect the ability of these compounds to interact with DNA and reduce tumour cell growth.
