To develop the next-generation Pt drug with remarkable activity and low toxicity to maximally inhibit tumor growth, we optimized a Pt(II) thiosemicarbazone compound (C4) with remarkable cytotoxicity to SK-N-MC cells and then constructed a new human serum albumin-C4 (HSA-C4) complex delivery system. The in vivo results showed that C4 and the HSA-C4 complex have remarkable therapeutic efficiency and almost no toxicity; they induced apoptosis and inhibited tumor angiogenesis. This system showed potential as a practical Pt drug. This study could pave the way for developing next-generation dual-targeted Pt drugs and achieving their targeting therapy for cancer.
