Mechanism of action

Platinum compounds (such as cisplatin, carboplatin, or oxaliplatin) bind to DNA and form inter- and intra-strand crosslinks, which block DNA synthesis and repair mechanisms. This leads to apoptosis in rapidly dividing cancer cells. In a salvage setting, these agents are used in patients who have relapsed or are refractory to prior chemotherapy regimens.
