“…Classical anticancer drugs inhibit cell replication and transcription through the direct or indirect interaction with DNA, and induce mutagenic, cytotoxic, genotoxic and carcinogenic effects (Chen, Chang, & Cheng, ; Fonseca et al, ; Lin et al, ). For example the platinum‐based drugs such as cisplatin and other square‐planar platinum analogs (carboplatin and oxaliplatin), which, despite their success as chemotherapeutics, cause renal failure and nephrotoxicity, peripheral neuropathy, hepatic toxicity, myelotoxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, ototoxicity, hematological toxicity and drug resistance (Bergamo et al, ; Brock et al, ; Gatti, Cassinelli, Zaffaroni, Lanzi, & Perego, ; Grozav et al, ; Keppler, Berger, & Heim, ; Mengoli, Parmeggiani, Mengoli, Grinzi, & Tolomelli, ; Muggia, ; Quasthoff & Hartung, ). Treatment with these drugs is therefore limited.…”
