Abstract excerpt
cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) and cis,trans,cis-ammine(cyclohexylamine)-dibutyratodichloroplatinu m(IV) (ACDDP) are anticancer drugs that bind to DNA, forming replication blocking adducts. ACDDP, probably manifests its cytotoxicity through the metabolite cis-ammine(cyclohexylamine)dichloroplatinum(II) (ACDP). The biological effects of ACDP and cis-DDP were compared by studying polymerase inhibition...
