Which of the following isomers is used in the treatment of cancer?

Options

Atrans- $[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2]$
B $[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)\text{Cl}_3]^+$
Ccis- $[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2]$
D $\text{K}_2[\text{PtCl}_6]$

Correct answer

C. cis- $[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2]$

Step-by-step solution

Cisplatin, chemically known as cis-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II) or cis-

[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2]

, is a well-known coordination compound widely used as a chemotherapy medication for the treatment of various types of cancer.

The trans isomer, trans-

[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2]

, does not exhibit the same pharmacological effect and is not used as an anti-cancer drug.

Answer: cis-

[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2]
