Platinum Compounds

Platinum compounds are a class of metal-coordination antineoplastic agents—including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin—that function primarily by forming covalent intra- and interstrand DNA cross-links This DNA binding disrupts vital transcription and replication pathways, inducing cellular DNA damage responses and apoptotic cell death in rapidly dividing cells These agents serve as foundational components of combination chemotherapy regimens across a broad spectrum of malignancies, most n...
