  2. 1. ASNA1 and cisplatin resistance : studies in C. elegans and in human tumor cells

    Author : Oskar Hemmingsson; Peter Naredi; Mef Nilbert; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ASNA1; Cisplatin; C. elegans; Drug resistance; Apoptosis; Surgery; Kirurgi; Oncology; Onkologi; Surgery; kirurgi; Oncology; onkologi; cellforskning; cell research;

    Abstract : Platinum based chemotherapy is widely used to treat cancer. Cisplatin (diamminedichloroplatinum) combination treatments provide cure for metastatic testicular cancer and prolong survival for patients suffering from ovarian, head and neck, bladder and non small cell lung cancer.

  4. 2. Quantum Chemical Studies of Chemotherapeutic Drug Cisplatin : Activation and Binding to DNA

    Author : Johan Raber; David van der Spoel; Paolo Carloni; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Quantum chemistry; cisplatin; quantum chemistry; DNA; density functional theory; activation; JM118; substitution reaction; Platinum; guanine; adenine; cytostatic drug; aquation; anation; activation; Kvantkemi;

    Abstract : The serendipitous discovery of the potent cytotoxic properties of cisplatin brought about a revolution in the treatment of certain types of cancer, but almost fifty years later, there still remain unknown areas in the chemistry of cisplatin. There are questions regarding which form of the drug reaches its DNA target, or why certain DNA sequences are more preferred than others for reaction with cisplatin. READ MORE

  5. 3. Advances in analytical methodologies for studies of the platinum metallome in malignant cells exposed to cisplatin

    Abstract : The scientific progress about the important chemotherapeutic drug substance cisplatin (CDDP) and its function has often been rendered by data difficult to interpret, and still many questions about its mode of action remains to be clarified by the scientific community. However, studies of CDDP possess a high complexity due to; i) low intracellular concentration, ii) many potential biomolecule targets, iii) poor or unknown stability of the intact drug and its biomolecule adducts and iv) complex and varying sample matrices.

  6. 4. Studies of radioactive cisplatin (191Pt) for tumour imaging and therapy

    Author : Johan Areberg; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cytology; mice; in vitro; gamma camera; tumour imaging; platinum pharmacokinetics; cisplatin; radioactive; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Abstract : A radioactive variant of the cytostatic agent cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II), cisplatin, was synthesised from 191PtCl4. The 191Pt-cisplatin was found to be a sterile product of high radionuclide, radiochemical and chemical purity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies on cisplatin in mice and men
