TLDR
A wide variety of Platinum(II) complexes have been investigated for antitumor activity against Sarcoma 180 in Swiss white female mice as mentioned in this paper, and the results showed that only neutral complexes exhibit activity while charged species are inactive and relatively nontoxic.

The Next Generation of Platinum Drugs: Targeted Pt(II) Agents, Nanoparticle Delivery, and Pt(IV) Prodrugs

TL;DR: Recently, there has been a surge of activity, based on a great deal of mechanistic information, aimed at developing nonclassical platinum complexes that operate via mechanisms of action distinct from those of the approved drugs as mentioned in this paper.

Antitumour metal compounds: more than theme and variations.

TL;DR: The recent achievement of oxaliplatin for the treatment of colon cancer should not belie the imbalance between a plethora of investigated complexes and a very small number of clinically approved platinum drugs as discussed by the authors.

The Successful Regression of Large Solid Sarcoma 180 Tumors by Platinum Compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, the platinum compounds, cisplatinum (IV) diamminotetrachloride and cis-platinum diamminodichloride, have been reported to be active in inhibiting and regressing small solid Sarcoma 180 tumors and Leukemia L1210 tumors in mice.

Inhibitory effects of anti-tumor platinum compounds on DNA, RNA and protein syntheses in mammalian cells in virtro.

TL;DR: A number of possible explanations for the greater sensitivity of DNA synthesis and the sequential inhibition of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis at higher concentrations are suggested.

Cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (II). Persistent and selective inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in vivo.

TL;DR: It was suggested that if the persistent inhibitory action on DNA synthesis is directly related to the chemotherapeutic efficacy of this agent or a metabolic product thereof, a less frequent treatment regimen may be as effective as daily injections while evoking fewer toxic reactions.
