Twelve Pt(II) compounds have been tested for mutagenicity on Salmonella typhimurium (strain TA 100). Very high mutagenic activities were found for the cis derivatives. A correlation is suggested between these results and a formerly described model of chemical reactivity towards DNA, according to which cis derivatives from intra-strand chelates with guanine. A smaller activity was found with monodentate complexes with DNA.
