Background

Cisplatin (CAS 15663-27-1) is a potent and broad-spectrum chemotherapeutic agent[1].

Cisplatin is an anticancer agent that induces apoptosis through multiple mechanisms. After entering cells, cisplatin binds to guanine bases of DNA, forming intra- and interstrand crosslinks that block DNA replication, and it can induce apoptosis by activating p53. Cisplatin also generates ROS and increases lipid peroxidation, thereby inducing apoptosis. In addition, cisplatin induces apoptosis through caspase-dependent pathways. In cochlear cells, cisplatin treatment increases caspases-3 and caspases-9, causing ototoxic side effects[1].

Cisplatin also mediates caspase-3-dependent apoptosis through the ERK signaling pathway; its treatment of cochlear cells increases caspase-3 and caspase-9 expression levels, leading to cochlear damage[1].

Cisplatin is commonly used to establish acute kidney injury (AKI) animal models. A single administration induces tubular injury and dysfunction, and it is widely used in studies of nephrotoxicity mechanisms and renoprotective drugs.

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

L1210/0 cells

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMF is >12.5 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.

Reaction Conditions

0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 μg/mL; 2 hrs

Applications

At low concentrations, Cisplatin induced minimal cell death. At higher concentrations, cell death was obvious with only 4% viability. By 10 days after incubation, these few survivors begun to grow and became the predominant cells in the population.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Nude mice bearing human ovarian cancer OVCAR-3 cell xenografts

Dosage form

5 mg/kg, i.v.; at day 0 and day 7

Applications

Cisplatin (5 mg/kg) given at the day 0 and 7 induced a tumor growth inhibition (GI) (85.1%) of the OVCAR-3 cell xenografts.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
