| Application: | Carboplatin has been used: • in chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia mouse model and treatment • to induce cell death in a large subset of colorectal cancer cells • in the evaluation of cell proliferation and chemosensitivity • as a positive control for suppressed cell growth |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Carboplatin is a platinum-based antineoplastic drug that damages DNA by forming intrastrand cross-links with neighboring guanine residues. Tumors acquire resistance to these drugs through the loss of DNA-mismatch repair (MMR) activity and the resultant decrease in the induction of programmed cell death. |
