説明

Nedaplatin, a novel second generation platinum complex, was marketed in Japan for the treatment of a variety of cancers including: head and neck, small-cell and non-small cell lung, oesophageal, prostatic, testicular, ovarian, cervical, bladder, and uterine cancers. Platinum anticancer agents, prototyped by cisplatin, have been reported to be hydrolyzed to the mono- or diaquated species of diamine platinum which react with nucleophilic sites on DNA to cause intrastrand and interstrand crosslinks and DNA-protein crosslinks, which result in cytotoxicity. Nedaplatin was reportedly more active than cisplatin against several solid tumors while sharing less nephro- and gastrointestinal toxicity to cisplatin in viva The minimal renal toxicity displayed by nedaplatin allows its use in patients with deteriorated renal function.
