MC-Val-Ala-PBD is a drug-linker conjugate for ADC by using the antitumor antibiotic, pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD, a cytotoxic DNAcrosslinking), linked via the cleavable linker MC-Val-Ala[1].
Metamelfalan is an alkylating nitrogen mustard with potential antineoplastic activity. It causes crosslinking of DNA, thereby preventing DNA replication and eventually cellular proliferation.
cDPCP is a platinum-containing DNA-crosslinking agent.1Unlike cisplatin or oxaliplatin , cDPCP forms monofunctional DNA adducts. It is transported into cells by organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) and OCT2, inhibiting proliferation of MDCK cells expressing the human transporters with IC50values of 8.1 and 1.5 μM, respectively. cDPCP inhibits RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription in a reporter assay using HeLa cells. It increases survival in murine S180 sarcoma and P388 leukemia models when administered at doses of 40 and 80 mg/kg, respectively.2 1.Lovejoy, K.S., Todd, R.C., Zhang, S., et al.cis-Diammine(pyridine)chloroplatinum(II), a monofunctional platinum(II) antitumor agent: Uptake, structure, function, and prospectsProc.

(rel)-Oxaliplatin is a DNA synthesis inhibitor that induces DNAcrosslinking damage, inhibits DNA replication and transcription, and stimulates apoptosis. This compound has applications in cancer research [1] [2] [3].
Oxaliplatin-d10 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of oxaliplatin by GC- or LC-MS. Oxaliplatin is a platinum-containing DNA-crosslinking agent. It induces the formation of DNA inter- and intrastrand crosslinks and DNA-protein adducts, inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis, and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Oxaliplatin is cytotoxic to cisplatin-sensitive A2780(1A9) and KB-3-1 cells and cisplatin-resistant A2780-E(80) and KB-CP20 cells (IC50s = 0.12, 0.39, 4.7, and 2.7 µM, respectively). It reduces tumor growth in an HCCLM3 mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 5 or 10 mg kg once per week. Formulations containing oxaliplatin have been used in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer and as adjuvants in stage III colon cancer.
