“…First reported by Kostić and co-workers, the reaction of [Pt(terpy)Cl] + with glutathione (GSH) at pH 7 yields [Pt(terpy)GS] [72,78,81]. The product has been described as having a neutral [78], +1 [72,[82][83][84], or +2 [81,85] charge in various reports, presumably reflecting the degree of ionization of the two carboxylate groups of the glutathione ligand for particular solution pH. Under conditions of excess glutathione, the chloride substitution reaction follows first order kinetics [72], and a Job's plot indicates a 1:1 binding of platinum and the tripeptide [78,85].…”
