Application

Oxaliplatin has been used:
  • as a chemotherapeutic agent in colon rectal adenocarcinoma SW480 cells by cell viability assay
  • for monitoring cell survival in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and HepG2/R cells by MTT assay
  • to determine the growth inhibitory effect on human breast adenocarcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oxaliplatin a platinum analogue, causes DNA damage and cell death by binding to DNA and forming inter and intrastrand crosslinks preventing replication and transcription. Oxaliplatin is an anti-tumor agent with activity against colorectal cancer; cytotoxicity follows the formation of adducts with DNA. Oxaliplatin is an approved drug for treating colorectal cancer. It is an active ingredient in FOLFOX (Folinic acid:5-FU:oxaliplatin in the ratio 1:10:1 of micromolar concentrations respectively). Oxaliplatin causes both acute and chronic neurotoxicity in patients in a dose dependent manner and is reversible either by reducing or stopping the drug.

Previous results of the EORTC intergroup trial 40983 showed that perioperative chemotherapy with FOLFOX4 (folinic acid, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) increases progression-free survival (PFS) compared with surgery alone for patients with initially resectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
