Abstract

L-Tryptophan (Trp), melatonin (MLT) and the Trp-peptide pentagastrin quenched the formation of azidyl radicals generated on irradiation of the anticancer complex trans,trans,trans-[Pt(pyridine)₂(N₃)₂(OH)₂] with visible light, giving rise to C3-centred indole radicals which were characterized for Trp and MLT using an EPR spin-trap; indole, together with azidyl and hydroxyl radicals, have potential roles in a multitargeting mechanism of action against resistant cancers.
