Platinum(II) chloride is a complex of platinum with chlorine and hydrogen. It is used as an anti-infective agent to treat infections caused by bacteria or fungi. Platinum(II) chloride complexes are stable in water and the body, which allows for long-term treatment without toxicity. Platinum(II) chloride complexes have been shown to be effective against tumor cells when used as a chemotherapy drug, with a variety of biological effects including inhibition of DNA polymerase activity and cell division. Platinum(II) chloride complexes also show good covalent binding properties with nitrogen atoms and structures that can be analyzed using analytical methods such as X-ray crystallography.
