Platinum complexes as radiosensitizers of hypoxic mammalian cells. 1978

E B Douple, and R C Richmond

Cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (II), or cis-PDD, has recently been shown to be a potent radiosensitizer of bacteria, particularly under conditions of acute hypoxia. This study extends this observation to include the radiosensitization of mammalian cell (V-79) by low concentrations of cis-PDD, cis-dichlorobis(aziridine) platinum (II), and the trans-isomer of PDD as measured from survival curve analysis. This radiosensitization was obtained at concentrations of 10 micrometer, 60 micrometer, and 100 micrometer for the cis-PDD, aziridine-platinum, and trans-isomer respectively. The corresponding drug toxicity survival levels were 8, 40 and 50%. Dose modification factors of around 1.3 to 1.4 were observed.

D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
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.
