Synonyms:
(trans-1,2-Cyclohexanediamine)oxalatoplatinum(II), Oxalato(trans-l-1,2-cyclohexanediamine)platinum(II)
Potent platinum-based antineoplastic agent with wide spectrum anticancer activity. Anticancer compound. Forms inter- and intrastrand DNA adducts/crosslinks, consequently blocking DNA replication and transcription and inducing cell death. Shows antitumor activity in cisplatin resistant cell lines. Shows better biochemical, pharmacological and cytotoxic properties than cisplatin (Prod. No. AG-CR1-3590) and carboplatin (Prod. No. AG-CR1-3591). Apoptosis inducer. Targets other proteins and enzymes. Anticancer activity and antitumor specificity depends on selective uptake through human organic cation transporters 1 (OCT1) and OCT2. Neurotoxic profile depends on organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) uptake.
