Carboplatin is a platinum coordination compound and antineoplastic agent that is related to cisplatin.
Application Notes
A study of γ-glutamyltransferase overexpression in carboplatin-treated HeLa cells, with relation to cell defense mechanisms, has been reported. Mouse peritoneal macrophages treated with carboplatin have been shown to produce enhanced IL-1α and TNF-α levels in tissue culture supernatants. A 96 well assay study of the action of carboplatin on 10 human ovarian cancer cell lines has been described.

Biochemical Physiological Actions | Carboplatin is a platinum-based antineoplastic drug that damages DNA by forming intrastrand cross-links with neighboring guanine residues. Tumors acquire resistance to these drugs through the loss of DNA-mismatch repair (MMR) activity and the resultant decrease in the induction of programmed cell death. |
