Oxiplat 50 mg Injection has an active ingredient; Oxaliplatin is an anti-cancer medication. Oxaliplatin inhibits the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The guanine & cytosine content correlates with the degree of Oxaliplatin-induced cross-linking. At high concentrations of the drug, cellular RNA & protein synthesis are also suppressed. Oxaliplatin undergoes nonenzymatic alteration to active derivatives via the displacement of the labile oxalate ligand. Some transient reactive species are formed, including monocoque & diaquo DACH platinum that covalently bind with macromolecules. Oxaliplatin binds preferentially to the guanine & cytosine moieties of DNA after activation, leading to cross-linking of DNA, thus inhibiting DNA synthesis & transcription.
