| Description | Oxaliplatin-d10 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of oxaliplatin by GC- or LC-MS. Oxaliplatin is a platinum-containing DNA-crosslinking agent. It induces the formation of DNA inter- and intrastrand crosslinks and DNA-protein adducts, inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis, and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Oxaliplatin is cytotoxic to cisplatin-sensitive A2780(1A9) and KB-3-1 cells and cisplatin-resistant A2780-E(80) and KB-CP20 cells (IC50s = 0.12, 0.39, 4.7, and 2.7 µM, respectively). It reduces tumor growth in an HCCLM3 mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 5 or 10 mg/kg once per week. Formulations containing oxaliplatin have been used in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer and as adjuvants in stage III colon cancer. |
