Platinum-based antineoplastic
Platinum-based antineoplastic drugs (informally called platins) are chemotherapeutic agents to treat cancer. They are coordination complexes of platinum.
The main dose-limiting side effect of cancer treatment with platinum compounds is neurotoxicity, which causes peripheral neuropathies including polyneuropathy.[1]
Mechanism of action
As studied mainly on cisplatin, but presumably for other members as well, platinum-based antineoplastic agents cause crosslinking of DNA as monoadduct, interstrand crosslinks, intrastrand crosslinks or DNA protein crosslinks. Mostly they act on the adjacent N-7 position of guanine, forming 1, 2 intrastrand crosslink.[2][3]
The resultant crosslinking inhibit DNA repair and/or DNA synthesis in cancer cells.
Platinum-based antineoplastic agents are sometimes described as "alkylating-like" due to similar effects as alkylating antineoplastic agents, although they do not have an alkyl group.[4]
Examples
- cisplatin, the first to be developed.[5] Cisplatin is particularly effective against testicular cancer; the cure rate was improved from 10% to 85%.[6]
- carboplatin, a second-generation platinum-based antineoplastic agent[5]
- oxaliplatin[5]
- satraplatin[5]
- picoplatin[5]
- Nedaplatin
- Triplatin
- Lipoplatin, a liposomal version of cisplatin
