Abstract

Development of metal-based drugs has prospered consistently since the discovery of cisplatin, cis-[Pt (NH3) 2Cl2], as basic chemotherapeutics [1, 2] because the adduct formation of cisplatin with DNA triggers apoptosis (therapeutic effect).[3] Along with cisplatin, other platinum (II) drugs, such as carboplatin and oxaliplatin, also continue to play a central role in the treatment of cancer and are used in chemotherapeutic regimes of around half of ...
