(B) Coordination Compounds of Pt
(C) D - Penicillamine
(D) Cis-Platin
Choose the correct answer from the option given below:
(A) EDTA
(B) Coordination Compounds of Pt
(C) D - Penicillamine
(D) Cis-Platin
Choose the correct answer from the option given below:
- (A)B and D Only✓ Correct
- (B)C and D Only
- (C)A and B Only
- (D)A and C Only
Answer: (A)
Solution
The agents that check tumour growth here are the platinum species. Cis-platin, , binds to DNA and cross-links the strands, halting the division of cancer cells, and it is one of the platinum coordination compounds used for this purpose. EDTA is a sequestering agent for metal ions, and D-penicillamine is used in Wilson's disease, neither being anti-tumour drugs. The compounds used to inhibit tumours are the coordination compounds of platinum and cis-platin.
