These results thus indicate, that ICS 205-930 is a very effective antiemetic for cancer chemotherapy-induced emesis in man. Given as a single dose prior to the chemotherapeutic agent, ICS 205-930 inhibits emesis and nausea for at least 24 hr. Together with the lack of extrapyramidal side-effects, these properties of ICS 205-930 indicate a clear superiority to the current therapeutic standard metoclopramide.

D002945	Cisplatin	An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
