Peripheral benzodiazepine receptors (PBRs, also named TSPO) are overexpressed in many tumor types, with the grade of TSPO overexpression correlating malignancy tumor. For this reason, TSPO-binding ligands have been widely explored as carriers for receptor-mediated drug delivery. In paper we selected a ligand nanomolar affinity TSPO, [2-(4-chlorophenyl)-8-aminoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl]-N,N-di-n-propylacetamide (3), preparing platinum adducts that structural analogues to picoplatin,...
