Cation-anionicpalladium Complexes—New Types of Antitumor, Immune Response-modulating and Radioprotective Agents

Here we report results of our investigations of new class of bioactive palladium compounds (AH n ) m [PdCl 4 ], which were discovered as a result of systematic study of correlations between composition, structure and bioactivity of different types of platinum metals coordination compounds. For the first time we demonstrated in vivoa possibility of development of palladium compounds, which exceed cisplatin in antitumor activity and do not show immunosuppressive effects, and palladium compounds with immunostimulating and radioprotective activities. Combinations of cytostatic agents or radiation with palladium complexes lead to significant synergism of their activities and high therapeutic efficiency exceeded an efficiency of their separated use.
