Anticancer agent
Functions
Induces intra- and interstrand DNA adducts which poison topoisomerase I. Synergizes with topoisomerase I inhibitors such as topotecan. Induces apoptosis by sequential activation of caspase-8, -3 and -6 in osteosarcoma cells. Inhibits expression of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) in human LNCaP cells. Numerous mechanisms inhibit propagation of cisplatin-induced DNA damage to signal apoptosis resulting in resistance. Clinically useful anticancer agent.
Application Procedures
First dissolved in Water (up to 2.5 mg/ml with warming), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in distilled water are not stable and must be used within 1 working day. do not store solutions.
