Oxaliplatin is a platinum-containing DNA-crosslinking agent. It induces the formation of DNA inter- and intrastrand crosslinks and DNA-protein crosslinks, inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis, and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Oxaliplatin is cytotoxic to cisplatin-sensitive A2780(1A9) and KB-3-1 cells and...

Description: Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) is a DNA alkylating agent, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Oxaliplatin causes DNA cross-linking damage, preventing DNA replication and transcription and leading to cell death. Oxaliplatin induces autophagy. Target: Autophagy, DNA/RNA Synthesis, DNA Alkylator/Crosslinker. Smiles:...

White to off-white powder. Soluble in DMSO or water. Slightly soluble in methanol. Insoluble in ethanol. 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...

A novel platinum analogue which has wide spectrum anti-cancer activity. It is found to be more active against human melanoma cell lines, and has better biochemical, pharmacological and cytotoxic properties than cisplatin and carboplatin.
