Platinum group metal complexes therefore offer potential as anti-tumour agents to fight cancer. This study was aimed at synthesizing and evaluating the effects of palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes as anticancer agents.enMetalsTherapeutic useMetals in medicineAntineoplastic agentsCancerChemotherapyBioinorganic chemistryPyrazole and pyrazolyl palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes: synthesis and in vitro evaluation as anticancer agentsThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
