lüll Inhibition of transcription by platinum antitumor compounds Todd RC; Lippard SJMetallomics 2009[]; 1 (4): 280-91Cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin are three FDA-approved members of the platinum anticancer drug family. These compounds induce apoptosis in tumor cells by binding to nuclear DNA, forming a variety of structural adducts and triggering cellular responses, one of which is the inhibition of transcription. In this report we present (i) a detailed review of the structural investigations of various Pt-DNA adducts and the effects of these lesions on global DNA geometry; (ii) research detailing inhibition of cellular transcription by Pt-DNA adducts; and (iii) a mechanistic analysis of how DNA structural distortions induced by platinum damage may inhibit RNA synthesis in vivo. A thorough understanding of the molecular mechanism of action of platinum antitumor agents will aid in the development of new compounds in the family.|Antineoplastic Agents/*pharmacology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Organoplatinum Compounds/*pharmacology[MESH]|Transcription, Genetic/*drug effects[MESH] |
