In this study, a Pt(IV) complex with 3 ′ ‐methyl‐4‐thio‐1 H ‐tetrahydropyranspiro‐5′‐hydantoin (complex 1 ) was synthesized. The structure was determined via elemental analyses, infrared, 1 H, and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. Density functional theory calculations were applied to optimize the molecular geometry and to calculate structural parameters and vibrational frequencies. The cytotoxicity of the newly synthesized complex 1 was assessed against K‐562 and REH cells and compared with the cytotoxic effects of the ligand ( L ) and its Pd(IV) complex (complex 2 ). Complex 1 exhibited a better cytotoxic activity (IC 50 = 76.9 µM against K‐562 and 15.6 µM against REH cells) than L and complex 2 , which was closer to the cytotoxic effect of cisplatin (IC 50 = 36.9 μM and 1.07 μM against K‐562 and REH cells, respectively), as compared with the ligand and complex 2 . L and its complexes 1 and 2 were evaluated for inhibitory activity against xanthine oxidase (XO) in vitro, as compared with allopurinol (IC 50 = 1.70 μM). Complex 1 was shown as a potent XO inhibitor, with an IC 50 value of 19.33 μM, and the binding mode with the enzyme was predicted by molecular docking. Its inhibitory activity against XO is a potential advantage that might result in improved profile and anticancer activity.
