New Supramolecular Research Data Has Been Reported by a Researcher at Jinan University (Construction of Cisplatin-18-Crown-6 Complexes Through Supramolecular Chemistry to Improve Solubility, Stability, and Antitumor Activity).

A recent study conducted at Jinan University in Guangzhou, China, focused on improving the solubility and stability of the antitumor drug cisplatin through supramolecular chemistry. By forming a complex with 18-crown-6, researchers were able to enhance the solubility and stability of cisplatin, leading to improved therapeutic efficacy in cancer treatment. The study utilized various analytical techniques to confirm the effectiveness of the cisplatin-18-crown-6 complex in enhancing the drug's antitumor activity. This research offers a promising strategy for enhancing the clinical application of cisplatin in cancer therapy. [Extracted from the article]
