In order to investigate the chemical characteristics of O6-methylguanines, the substrate of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, cis[PtCl(NH3)2(O6,9-dimethylguanine-7)]NO3, a 1:1 complex of cis-platin with O6,9-dimethylguanine, was synthesized and its demethylation rate, pKa, X-ray structure and cytotoxicity were determined.
