“…The correlation between the mutation induction of a series of platinum compounds and their antitumor activity 16,43,44) might suggest that mutagenesis and antitumor activity are caused by the same biochemical event. However, cis-DDP induces mutations in Chinese hamster ovary cells at low frequencies, e.g., less than 200 hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) mutants per 10 6 cells 17).…”
Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II») is widely used in the treatment of testicular and ovarian cancers. A number of biological and biochemical results indicate that the reaction of cisplatin with DNA is responsible for the cytotoxic action of this drug. The effect of platinum compounds on the conformation and stability of DNA has been investigated and several platinum-DNA adducts have been identified in vitro and in vivo. Preliminary experiments have quantified the effect of these different lesions on DNA replication, their capacity to induce mutations and their susceptibility to DNA repair processes. Additional DNA damage may be created by platinum(IV) compounds, perhaps during their reduction to platinum(II) compounds by the cell.

“…It is known that Pt compounds with the structure cisPtN 2 X 2 are strong mutagens (Uno and Morita 1993). The mutagenicity of transplatin is considerably lower than that of cisplatin (Beck and Fisch 1980). A great number of Pd compounds tested -among them divalent cis-complexes -failed to show any evidence for a genotoxic potential for bacterial systems.…”
“…Spontaneous revertants have been subtracted from dose response curves. 76 Zwelling ef uI. '~ have reported mutagenicity assays performed with mammalian V79 cells.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
