Q. The complex used as an anticancer agent is
A) $cis$-$\lbrack PtCl_{2}\left( NH_{3} \right)_{2}\rbrack$
B) ${Na}_{2}CO_{3}$
C) $trans$-$\lbrack Co\left( NH_{3} \right)_{3}Cl_{3}\rbrack$
D) $cis$-$K_{2}\lbrack PtCl_{2}Br_{2}\rbrack$
Explanation
(a)
$Cis$- isomer of$\ \left\lbrack Pt\left( NH_{3} \right)_{2}Cl_{2} \right\rbrack\$is used as an anticancer drugs for treating several type of malignant tumours when it is inject into the blood stream the more reaction Cl groups are lost so, the Pt atom bonds to a N-atom in guanosine (a part of DNA). This molecule can bond to two different guanosine units and by bridging between them it upsets the normal reproduction of DNA
