This compound, which monofunctionally interacts with DNA and more efficiently binds nucleobases than sulphur-containing biomolecules (5′-deoxyguanosine monophosphate and N-acetyl methionine were used as the model systems), showed extraordinary anticancer effectivity and no correlation with any other platinum-based anticancer drug at NCI-60 DTP Human Tumor Cell Line Screen, which favours phenanthriplatin for the future clinical testing.
