TLDR
In this paper, the effects of cis and trans Pt(II)-diammine dichloride on the colony forming ability of HeLa cells have been measured, showing that more of the trans compound was bound to DNA than cis when cell survival was reduced by the same amount, suggesting there was a real difference in the mechanisms of action of the two isomers.

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.

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.

Cisplatin induces a mitochondrial-ROS response that contributes to cytotoxicity depending on mitochondrial redox status and bioenergetic functions.

TL;DR: Exposure to cisplatin induces a mitochondrial-dependent ROS response that significantly enhances the cytotoxic effect caused by nDNA damage and may lead to the design of novel therapeutic strategies to improve anticancer drug efficacy.

Platinum(IV) antitumour compounds: their bioinorganic chemistry

TL;DR: A review of the investigations undertaken into platinum-IV antitumour compounds since Barnett Rosenberg first noted the activity of platinum(IV) complexes is given in this article. But the bioinorganic chemistry of these compounds has not previously been reviewed, and the purpose here is to provide insight into the requirements for the antitumours activity of these complexes.

Mitogen-Activated Protein (MAP) Kinase/MAP Kinase Phosphatase Regulation: Roles in Cell Growth, Death, and Cancer

TL;DR: The role of this protein in cancer development and progression is focused on, highlighting the potential role of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, and an integrated scheme for MKP-1 and MAPK in cancer is proposed.

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.

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.

Cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (II). Persistent and selective inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in vivo.

TL;DR: It was suggested that if the persistent inhibitory action on DNA synthesis is directly related to the chemotherapeutic efficacy of this agent or a metabolic product thereof, a less frequent treatment regimen may be as effective as daily injections while evoking fewer toxic reactions.
