Bioactivity | Oxaliplatin is a DNA synthesis inhibitor. Oxaliplatin causes DNA crosslinking damage, prevents DNA replication and transcription and induces apoptosis. Oxaliplatin can be used for cancer research[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Oxaliplatin (24-72 hours; 2-128 μM; HCC, HCCLM3 and Hep3B cells) inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis[1].Oxaliplatin (10 μM; 15-240 mins; CEM cells ) induces primary and secondary DNA lesions, including DNA cross-links (ISC) and DNA-protein cross-links (DPC)[2].Oxaliplatin (0.01 to 100 μM; 24 hours) potently inhibits bladder carcinoma cell lines RT4 and TCCSUP, ovarian carcinoma cell line A2780, colon carcinoma cell line HT-29, glioblastoma cell lines U-373MG and U-87MG, and melanoma cell lines SK-MEL-2 and HT-144 with IC50 of 11 μM, 15 μM, 0.17 μM, 0.97 μM, 2.95 μM, 17.6 μM, 30.9 μM and 7.85 μM, respectively[3].
