TLDR
It is unlikely that the ability of cis and trans Pt(IV)diammine tetrachloride to cross-link isolated or cellular DNA bears any relationship to their cytotoxic properties, and it is concluded that the differences seen in vitro and in vivo were approximately the same.

Mechanisms of Cisplatin nephrotoxicity.

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of cisplatin nephrotoxicity are summarized and it is discussed how these advances might lead to more effective prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of resistance to cisplatin.

TL;DR: An improved understanding of the mechanisms of resistance operative in vivo has identified targets for intervention and may increase the utility of cisplatin for the treatment of cancer.

The role of the unfolded protein response in tumour development: friend or foe?

TL;DR: Recent delineation of the components of this response indicate that it is uniquely poised to have a role in regulating the balance between cancer cell death, dormancy and aggressive growth, as well as altering the sensitivity of solid tumours to chemotherapeutic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of the Comparative Pharmacology and Clinical Activity of Cisplatin and Carboplatin

TL;DR: Carboplatin does not possess equivalent activity to cisplatin in all platinum-sensitive tumors, and its role in limited-stage small-cell lung cancer needs to be investigated further.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploration of the medical periodic table: towards new targets

TL;DR: Progress in identifying and defining target sites has been accelerated recently by advances in proteomics, genomics and metal speciation analysis, and examples of metal compounds and chelating agents (enzyme inhibitors) currently in clinical use, clinical trials or preclinical development are highlighted.

Platinum Compounds: a New Class of Potent Antitumour Agents

TL;DR: The platinum compounds inhibit sarcoma 180 and leukaemia L1210 in mice and reversibly inhibit cell division in Gram-negative rods1–4.

Defective repair replication of DNA in xeroderma pigmentosum.

TL;DR: Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum develop fatal skin cancers when exposed to sunlight, and so the failure of DNA repair in the skin must be related to carcinogenesis.

The Inhibition of Growth or Cell Division in Escherichia coli by Different Ionic Species of Platinum(IV) Complexes

TL;DR: The cis and trans forms of the diamino complex, [PtCl4(NH3)2]0, have been synthesized and the electrophoretic patterns indicate predominantly neutral species in both cases.

The Successful Regression of Large Solid Sarcoma 180 Tumors by Platinum Compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, the platinum compounds, cisplatinum (IV) diamminotetrachloride and cis-platinum diamminodichloride, have been reported to be active in inhibiting and regressing small solid Sarcoma 180 tumors and Leukemia L1210 tumors in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibitory effects of anti-tumor platinum compounds on DNA, RNA and protein syntheses in mammalian cells in virtro.

TL;DR: A number of possible explanations for the greater sensitivity of DNA synthesis and the sequential inhibition of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis at higher concentrations are suggested.
