Is GSH Chelated Pt Molecule Inactive in Anti ‐Cancer Treatment? A Case Study of Pt6GS4

In this report, endogenous biothiol is utilized to precisely synthesize a GSH chelated Pt molecule (Pt6GS4). This Pt6GS4 molecule can be well taken up by aggressive triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Subsequently, its metabolites could enter nuclei to interact with DNA, finally the DNA ‐Pt complex triggers TNBC cell apoptosis via the p53 pathway. Impressively, high efficacy for anti‐cancer treatment is achieved by Pt6GS4 both in vitro and in vivo when compared with traditional first ‐line carboplatin in the same dosage. Compared with carboplatin, Pt6GS4 keeps tumor bearing mice alive for a longer time and is non ‐toxic for the liver and kidneys. This work opens a route to explore polynuclear Pt compound with accurate architecture for enhancing therapeutic effects and reducing systemic toxicity.
