Correction to: British Journal of Pharmacology (2007) 153, 34–49; doi: 10.1038/sj.bjp.0707576
Due to a publishing error, some of the text in this paper has been published incorrectly.
An error occurs in the second paragraph of the Methods section. The correct sentence should read as follows:
Commercial reagent grade and solvents were supplied by Aldrich and used without further purification.
An error also occurs in the third paragraph of the Results section. The corrected sentence is shown below:
In the reactions with biological nitrogen ligands, such as purines (Guo, 5′-GMP), [Pt(O,O′-acac)(γ-acac)(DMSO)] showed little reactivity even after several hours, whereas it gave fast substitution of DMSO in the presence of biological sulphur ligands (L-methionine or L-cysteine) (Muscella et al., 2007).
The first sentence of the Figure 1 legend is incorrect. The correct version is as follows:
Figure 1 (a) Chemical structures of [Pt(O,O′-acac) (γ-acac)(DMS)] and its reactivity with 5′-GMP and L-methionine.
