Mechanism of action

Both drugs form covalent adducts with DNA, creating interstrand and intrastrand cross-links that prevent DNA replication and transcription. This results in apoptosis of rapidly dividing cancer cells. Carboplatin is a second-generation platinum compound with a similar mechanism to cisplatin but with a different toxicity profile and improved tolerability.
