IUPAC nomenclature

(SP-4-2)-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)

Classification

Cisplatin  falls under the category of Antineoplastic cytotoxic drug. [1]

Physiochemical Properties

Mechanism of Action                                                                                                                       

i. It introduces the alkyl groups to the DNA. When repair enzymes tries to remove the alkylaed fragments, they fragment the DNA.

ii. It binds with DNA and produces cross-linkages.

iii. It induces mispairing of the DNA causes mutations in the cells.[2]

Structural Activity Relationship

• Cytotoxicity of oxiplatin is also greater than cisplatin.
• Organic functionalities of nonleaving groups coordinated to platinum are critical for selective uptake by OTCs. [3]

Methods of Synthesis

i. Potassium tetrachloroplatinate is reacted with excess of potassium iodide.

ii. The tetraiodide so formed is reacted with ammonia to form K₂[PtI₂(NH₃)₂], a yellow compound.

iii. The insoluble silver iodide is precipitated as the yellow compound is treated with silver nitrate in water.

iv. Addition of the potassium chloride gives the final product.
