Mechanism of action

Platinum compounds (such as cisplatin, carboplatin, or oxaliplatin) bind to DNA and create interstrand crosslinks, disrupting DNA synthesis and repair mechanisms. This leads to cell cycle arrest and programmed cell death in rapidly dividing cancer cells. Platinum agents are non-cell-cycle-specific and are among the most effective cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs for solid tumors.
