Pharmaceutical Applications
Oxaliplatin (cis-[oxalato] trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane platinum(II)), for example, marketed under the
trade name Eloxatin, is considered as a third-generation platinum-based anticancer drug. Its structure
differs from previously synthesised platinum compounds by the configuration of its amino substituents. Its
platinum centre is coordinated by two chelating ligands, namely an oxalate ligand and a so-called DACH
(1,2-diaminocyclohexane) ligand. In comparison to cisplatin, the two chlorine leaving groups are replaced
by an oxalato leaving group. The simple amino groups are replaced by the DACH ligand, which is the
nonleaving group.
The clinical use of oxaliplatin was approved by the European Union in 1999 and by the FDA in 2002. It
is most effective in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (5-FU/LV) in the treatment of metastatic
carcinomas of the colon or rectum. Oxaliplatin induces less side effects than cisplatin; for example, it is
less nephrotoxic and ototoxic and leads to less myelosuppression. Unfortunately, treatment with oxaliplatin
can lead to nerve damage, which may not be reversible in the case of chronic exposure of the patient to the
drug. Oxaliplatin is usually administered intravenously as infusion over a period of 2–6 h in doses similar to
cisplatin. The neurotoxic side effects are dose-limiting .
Pharmacokinetics
Oxaliplatin decomposes in alkaline media and should not be coadministered with drugs that will increase the pH of the IV solution. Oxaliplatin is used in the treatment of metastatic colon or rectal cancer, either alone or in combination with 5-fluorouracil.
Clinical Use
Antineoplastic platinum agent:
Treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in
combination with fluorouracil and folinic acid and
stage III colon cancer
Side effects
Oxaliplatin often retains activity in patients who are no longer responding to the “first-generation” organometallics and also is significantly less mutagenic, nephrotoxic, hematotoxic, and ototoxic than cisplatin.
Enzyme inhibitor
This potent anti-cancer drug (FW = 397.29 g/mol; CAS 63121-00-6; IUPAC Name: [(1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine](ethanedioato- O,O')platinum(II)), also known as Eloxatin?, is a intravenously administered DNA crosslinker and mutagen. The combination of amine group- and carboxyl group-donating bidentate ligands results in significantly lower pharmacologic inactivation as a consequence of nonenzymatic hydrolysis. (See also Cisplatin (for mechanism of action) and Carbonatoplatin) Unlike cisplatin, oxaliplatin forms both interstrand and intrastrand DNA cross links that prevent DNA replication and transcription, thereby promoting programmed cell death. Oxaliplatin also crosses the blood-brain barrier.

Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Antibacterials: increased risk of nephrotoxicity
and possibly ototoxicity with aminoglycosides,
capreomycin, polymyxins or vancomycin.
Cytotoxics: avoid with panitumumab.
Antipsychotics: avoid with clozapine (increased risk
of agranulocytosis).
Metabolism
Oxaliplatin is extensively metabolised by non-enzymatic
biotransformation to both inactive and active compounds.
There is no in vitro evidence of cytochrome P450
metabolism of the diaminocyclohexane (DACH) ring.
Several cytotoxic biotransformation products including
the monochloro-, dichloro- and diaquo-DACH platinum
species have been identified in the systemic circulation
together with a number of inactive conjugates.
Platinum removal is mainly by renal excretion and tissue
distribution; platinum metabolites mainly by renal
excretion. By day 5, approximately 54% of the total dose
was recovered in the urine and <3% in the faeces.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 63121-00-6 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,3,1,2 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 63121-00:
(7*6)+(6*3)+(5*1)+(4*2)+(3*1)+(2*0)+(1*0)=76
76 % 10 = 6
So 63121-00-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
