- Abstract
Thirty years after the onset of the first clinical studies with cisplatin, the development of antineoplastic platinum drugs continues to be a productive field of research. This article reviews the current preclinical and clinical status, including a discussion of the molecular basis for the activity of the parent drug cisplatin and platinum drugs of the second and third generation, in particular their interaction with DNA. Further emphasis is laid on the development of third generation platinum drugs with activity in cisplatin-resistant tumours, particularly on chelates containing 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) and on the promising and more recently evolving field of non-classic ( trans- and multinuclear) platinum complexes. The development of oral platinum drugs and drug targeting strategies using liposomes, polymers or low-molecular-weight carriers in order to improve the therapeutic index of platinum chemotherapy are also covered.
