## How Cytocarb 450 Mg Injection (Carboplatin) Works:

Cytocarb 450 mg Injection has an active ingredient; Carboplatin is an antineoplastic in the class of alkylating agents. They prevent tumor growth by cross-linking guanine bases in DNA double-helix strands – directly attacking DNA. This makes the strands unable to uncoil & separate. As this is essential in DNA replication, the cells can no longer divide. Additionally, these drugs add methyl or other alkyl groups onto molecules where they do not belong which in turn inhibits their correct utilization by base pairing & causes a miscoding of DNA.
