Dicycloplatin is a new generation supramolecular platinum-containing anti-cancer drug. Due to its structure, it is difficult to differentiate dicycloplatin from physical mixtures of carboplatin and cyclobutane dicarboxylate, and confounding results may arise during drug characterization. To solve this problem, this study aims to provide a reliable and reproducible standard for the determination of dicycloplatin. A simple method for dicycloplatin quality control has been developed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). XRPD allowed the control of impurities and dissociation of the dicycloplatin active ingredient to less than 1%, and HPLC allowed the monitoring and control of the relative molar ratio of carboplatin and cyclobutane dicarboxylate within the purity range. The study proved for the first time that the dicycloplatin supramolecule is substantially different from a physical mixture of carboplatin and cyclobutane dicarboxylate.

A new class of anticancer prodrugs was designed by combining the cytotoxicity of platinum(IV) complexes and the drug carrier properties of glycol chitosan polymers: Unsymmetrically carboxylated platinum(IV) analogues of cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin, namely (OC-6-44)-acetatodiammine(3-carboxypropanoato)dichloridoplatinum(IV), (OC-6-44)-acetaodiammine(3-carboxypropanoato)(cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylato)platinum(IV) and (OC-6-44)-acetato(3-carboxypropanoato)(1R,2R-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine)oxalatoplatinum(IV) were synthesised and conjugated via amide bonding to degraded glycol chitosan (dGC) polymers with different chain lengths (5, 10, 18 kDa). The 15 conjugates were investigated with H and Pt NMR spectroscopy, and average amounts of platinum(IV) units per dGC polymer molecule with ICP-MS, revealing a range of 1.3-22.

A series of platinum compounds 2a-5a and 2b-5b with fluoro-functional groups are designed and synthesized. Among them, complex 2b is the most effective agent with 3-hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate as a leaving ligand, which showed better cytotoxic activity than compounds containing only CF or OH group at 3-position of cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate. The water solubility of 2a is better than that of carboplatin (32 mg/mL vs.

What Is Known And Objective: To compare short-term therapeutic efficacies and related changes of serum markers from two chemotherapeutic regimes using lobaplatin or carboplatin in combination with paclitaxel in ovarian cancer patients after cytoreductive surgery.

Methods: 120 patients were recruited with pathologically confirmed ovarian cancer. Patients were equally and randomly divided into two groups receiving paclitaxel (PTX) with lobaplatin (LBP) or carboplatin (CBP, as control), respectively, 21 days as a cycle for 6 cycles.

We describe herein the synthesis of a series of carboplatin derivatives with different functional groups at position 3 of the cyclobutane ring. This pharmacomodulation approach aims at facilitating the vectorisation of these analogues, via their subsequent conjugation to a drug delivery system. Five different derivatives bearing a hydroxy, keto, iodo, azido or amino function at position 3 were synthesised.
