Since the discovery of the platinum based complex, cisplatin, medicinal inorganic chemistry has attracted much more attention and a large number of platinum complexes with promising pharmacological properties have been synthesized. In this work a new platinum complex of N-(5-indanyl(methylene)anthranilic acid(5-indanyl methylene)-hydrazide (HL) has been synthesized and characterized by physical and spectral techniques, as elemental analysis, IR, EI-MS, 1H-NMR, thermal analysis, transmittance electron microscope (TEM) and magnetic moment. The results indicated that the ligand binds to Pt(II) in the enol form. Square-planar stereochemistry was suggested for the Pt(II) complex. The morphological characterization showed nano-sized spherical particles with average size 92 nm of the isolated complex. The synthesized Pt(II) complex exhibited a significant cytotoxic activity against HCT116 and HEPG2. Also in vivo study of the Pt(II) complex showed cytotoxic activity towards Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC).
