β¦ Synopsis
Metallocalixarenes such as the pentanuclear platinum(II) macrocycle shown in the cover picture, are prepared from a cisplatin analogue with tertiary amine ligands and the nucleobase uracil or thymine. The platinum(II) complex used in the synthesis of the macrocycle has a significant cytostatic activity as a result of its ability to bind to DNA. The background shows a crystal of calf thymus DNA. More details can be found in the Communication by M. J. Rauterkus and B. Krebs on page 1300 ff.
