Let’s Dive into the World of Cisplatin

 Cisplatin（Cl2H6N2Pt） is a significant milestone in the history of chemotherapy, profoundly impacting cancer treatment since its discovery. As a first-generation platinum-based anticancer drug, the introduction of cisplatin significantly improved the cure rates for various malignant tumors. Its unique mechanism of action interferes with DNA replication and transcription, selectively targeting rapidly proliferating cancer cells, making it a cornerstone drug in the treatment of multiple solid tumors. However, the issues of toxicity and drug resistance associated with cisplatin have spurred extensive research, driving the development of next-generation platinum-based drugs. We UIVCHEM ( Yurui (shanghai) chemical Co.,Ltd ) are a professional and experienced supplier of cisplatin. This article will delve into the properties, applications, and significance of cisplatin in modern medicine.

What is Cisplatin?

Cisplatin（Cl2H6N2Pt）is a platinum-containing chemical compound and a representative of the first generation of platinum-based anticancer drugs. Its structure features a planar square geometry, formed by one platinum atom coordinated with two ammine groups (NH₃) and two chloride ions (Cl⁻). Known for its remarkable anticancer properties, cisplatin is widely used to treat various solid tumors, such as testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, and bladder cancer.

Properties of Cisplatin

1，Molecular Formula：Cl2H6N2Pt

2，Molecular Weight：300.05g/mol

3，CAS：15663-27-1

4，EINECS：239-733-8

5，Pt content：65.00%

6，Melting point：65.00%

7，Water solubility：<0.1 g/100 mL at 19 ºC

8，Appearance：Bright yellow crystal

Mechanism of Action：Cisplatin binds to DNA, forming intrastrand or interstrand crosslinks that disrupt DNA replication and transcription, ultimately inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Due to the weaker DNA repair capacity of cancer cells, cisplatin demonstrates strong selectivity for rapidly proliferating cancer cells.

Applications of Cisplatin

Cancer Treatment: Cisplatin is an essential chemotherapeutic agent for treating various cancers, with significant efficacy in:

1.Testicular Cancer: Cisplatin has dramatically improved the cure rate of testicular cancer.

2.Ovarian Cancer: Often used in combination with other drugs for advanced ovarian cancer.

3.Bladder Cancer: A standard chemotherapy drug for bladder cancer.

4.Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Lung Cancer.

Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy: Cisplatin is commonly combined with radiotherapy to enhance its effects, particularly in treating head and neck cancers and cervical cancer, where its radiosensitizing properties are significant.

Other Uses: Cisplatin is also employed in scientific research, such as studying DNA damage repair mechanisms and developing new anticancer drugs.

Conclusion

As the first-generation platinum-based anticancer drug, Cisplatin（Cl2H6N2Pt） represents a groundbreaking achievement in cancer treatment. By disrupting DNA functions, it effectively inhibits cancer cell proliferation, significantly improving the cure rates of various cancers. However, its severe side effects limit its widespread use, prompting scientists to develop new platinum-based drugs to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity.Despite its limitations, cisplatin remains an indispensable anticancer drug in modern medicine, inspiring further advancements in drug development and cancer therapy.
