The rise of Cisplatin

By: Mimouni, Abdelhafid

This book explores in detail the Pt(NH3)2(C6H11O6)2 complex, a novel derivative of cisplatin, focusing on its analysis by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS). Cisplatin, a well-established chemotherapeutic agent, targets the DNA of cancer cells to hinder their proliferation. The Pt(NH3)2(C6H11O6)2 complex is distinguished by the replacement of cisplatin's chlorine atoms with glucose molecules, a modification potentially decisive for its biological efficacy. This book aims to examine the structure and reactivity of CisDD/glucose, highlighting its anticancer potential and the implications of its unique structure.
