| Application: | Oxaliplatin has been used: • as a chemotherapeutic agent in colon rectal adenocarcinoma SW480 cells by cell viability assay • for monitoring cell survival in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and HepG2/R cells by MTT assay • to determine the growth inhibitory effect on human breast adenocarcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Oxaliplatin a platinum analogue, causes DNA damage and cell death by binding to DNA and forming inter and intrastrand crosslinks preventing replication and transcription. Oxaliplatin is an anti-tumor agent with activity against colorectal cancer; cytotoxicity follows the formation of adducts with DNA. Oxaliplatin is an approved drug for treating colorectal cancer. It is an active ingredient in FOLFOX (Folinic acid:5-FU:oxaliplatin in the ratio 1:10:1 of micromolar concentrations respectively). Oxaliplatin causes both acute and chronic neurotoxicity in patients in a dose dependent manner and is reversible either by reducing or stopping the drug. |
