DNA Crosslinking via Platinum Agent (Oxaliplatin)

Molecular classification
DNA, Other
01

Overview

DNA crosslinking via platinum agents refers to the process by which platinum-based chemotherapy drugs, such as oxaliplatin, form covalent bonds between DNA strands or between DNA and proteins. This disrupts essential cellular processes like replication and transcription, ultimately leading to cell death. Oxaliplatin primarily forms intrastrand crosslinks at guanine and adenine bases.

02

Mechanism of action

Covalent binding to DNA, forming intra- and interstrand crosslinks, disrupting replication and transcription.
