Technical Data

Formula

Cl2H6N2Pt
Molecular Weight 300.05 CAS No. 15663-27-1
Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMF 10 mg/mL (33.32 mM)
Water 1 mg/mL (3.33 mM)
Ethanol Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5%DMF 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
0.7mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL 14 mg/ml clarified DMF stock solution to 400 μL PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify it; then continue to add 500 μL ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Cisplatin is an inorganic platinum complex, which is able to inhibit DNA synthesis by conforming DNA adducts in tumor cells. Cisplatin activates ferroptosis and induces autophagy.Solutions are unstable and should be fresh-prepared.DMSO is not recommended to dissolve platinum-based drugs, which can easily lead to drug inactivation.
Targets
DNA synthesis [1]
(Tumor cells)
In vitro

Cisplatin induces cytotoxic by interaction with DNA to form DNA adducts which activate several signal transduction pathways, including Erk, p53, p73, and MAPK, which culminates in the activation of apoptosis. [1]

Cisplatin (30 μM) treated for 6 h induces an apparent activation of Erk in HeLa cells, which is sustained over the following 14 h period. Cisplatin also shows an effective antineoplastic activity by inducing tumor cells death[2].

Cisplatin displays ability to cause renal proximal tubular cell (RPTC) apoptosis, causing cell shrinkage, a 50-fold increase in caspase 3 activity, a 4-fold increase in phosphatidylserine externalization, and 5- and 15-fold increases in chromatin condensation and DNA hypoploidy, respectively. [4]

Cisplatin (800 μM) causes typical features of necrosis of RPTC after treatment for 4 hr. [5]
In vivo

Cisplatin has been demonstrated to be efficient in regression tumor growth in a wide variety of animal tumors models, including head and neck cancer xenografts, cervical squamous carcinoma xenografts, testicular carcinoma xenografts, ovarian cancer xenografts, breast carcinoma xenografts, colonic carcinoma, heterotransplanted hepatoblastoma, and so on. Cisplatin (5 mg/kg) given weekly i.v. at the day 1 and 7 induces a tumor growth inhibition (GI) of 77.5% and 85.1% of the serous xenografts Ov.Ri(C) and OVCAR-3, respectively. [6]
Features One of the most widely used and most potent chemotherapeutic agents. This product is not recommended to be dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).[7]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[3]
  • Cell lines

    Leukemia L1210/0 cells

  • Concentrations

    7 μg/mL

  • Incubation Time

    2 hours

  • Method

    L1210/0 cells are maintained in an exponential suspension culture at 37 ℃ in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in McCoy's medium 5a (modified), supplemented with 15% calfserum, and Fungizone. L1210/0 cells are incubated in Cisplatin (7 μg/mL) for 2 hr at 37 ℃. To measure growth inhibition, the cells are centrifuged, washed once, resuspended in fresh medium at 30 × 103 to 50 × 103 cells/mL, and incubated for 3 days. Cell numbers are determined on a Coulter Counter. An aliquot of cells is diluted with an equal volume of 0.4% trypan blue. Viability is recorded as the percentage of cells that has excluded trypan blue. Cells incubated with Cisplatin as above are also diluted into 0.1% agar and allowed to grow for 2 weeks when colonies are counted.
Animal Study:

  • Animal Models

    Female NMRI/Cpb (nuinu) mice

  • Dosages

    5 mg/kg

  • Administration
