Table 2. Half-Maximal Inhibitory Concentrations (IC50/μM) of Pt1, Pt2, and Cisplatin toward PC3 Cancer Cells in the Dark and on Exposure to Blue Light, and Standard Deviations from Duplicates of Triplicate Determinationsa.

complex dark IC50b (μM) photo IC50c (μM)
Pt1 >100d 55.6 ± 0.9
Pt2 >100d 6.48 ± 0.84
cisplatin >100d >100d
a

100 μM concentration (higher than the test range) is deemed inactive.

b

1 h exposure to complexes to allow uptake (protected from light) followed by a further 1 h protected from light and 24 h recovery in fresh medium.

c

1 h exposure to complexes to allow uptake (protected from light) followed by 1 h irradiation with blue light (λ = 465 nm, 17 J/cm2) and 24 h recovery in fresh medium.

d

Exceeds the concentration range used for IC50 determination.
