Abstract
This article describes the prime role of anticancer drugs based on platinum in clinical treatment, their limitations and side effects. The efforts to investigate the molecular mechanism of their anticancer action proved by crystal structural and NMR spectrometric analyses and other techniques have been summarized in order to give clear picture of developments in establishing the mechanism. It has given clear evidences of platinum(II) interactions with DNA forming the adducts leading to death of cancer cells. Along with these interactions, the harmful as well as beneficial interactions of platinum with various sulphur containing biomolecules and sulphur containing molecules have been briefly described; which has given a new direction to design the novel platinum-based drugs and the use of sulphur containing molecule as chemoprotective actions. After the understanding the reason, i.e. high reactivity of platinum(II) leading to such undesired interactions; the new strategy of kinetically inert Pt(IV) prodrug concept was developed to overcome such limitation. Such Pt(IV) compounds having additional features of axial groups which confer the favourable biocompatible properties have been described. After the understanding of developmental stages, the synthesis of representative examples various types of platinum(II) as well as platinum(IV) compounds have been described. Later the evaluation methods for anticancer properties have mentioned. The drug delivery systems in order to overcome the side effects have been mentioned. It is anticipated that this account of platinum-based anticancer drug development, will help in designing novel compounds which will overcome limitations of existing drugs.
