Abstract

Even though simple Platinum compounds, like cis-PtCl2(NH3)2 (abbreviated in literature as CDDP, cis-Pt, cisplatin), have been known for over 150 years, the biological activity of the parent compound has been reported only in the mid-sixties as the result of a serendipitous discovery by Rosenberg [1].
