The authors have previously reported that trans-bis(n-valerato)(1R,2R-cyclohexanediamine) (oxalato)platinum(IV) (C5-OHP), an oxaliplatin derivative, is an orally active antitumor agent in an intraperitoneal (i.p.) L1210 murine leukemia model. In this study, several oxaliplatin derivatives of the general formula trans-(carboxylato)chloro(1R,2R-cyclohexanediamine)(oxala to)platinum(IV) were synthesized in order to find new derivatives with greater oral activity than C5-OHP in a clinically predictive tumor model. In the formula, the carboxylate and chloride ligands are situated in axial positions.
