Platinum-Based Chemotherapeutics in the Modern Era: From Classical DNA-Targeting Mechanisms to Next-Generation Innovations in Cancer Therapy. (PubMed, Chem Biol Drug Des)
In order to address the enduring problems of toxicity, resistance, and restricted selectivity, this study charts their development from the traditional agents cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin to next-generation developments. Looking forward, integration with CRISPR, 3D tumor modeling, and epigenetic targeting heralds a new frontier, supported by interdisciplinary collaboration bridging chemistry, biology, and technology. This convergence of foundational principles and cutting-edge innovations positions platinum therapy for a transformative era, promising enhanced precision, efficacy, and equity in cancer care worldwide.
