Abstract
Platinum-based anticancer drugs have been at the forefront of cancer chemotherapy, with cisplatin emerging as a pioneer in the treatment of various malignancies. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of platinum-based anticancer therapeutics, focusing on the development of cisplatin, platinum(IV) prodrugs, and the integration of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for enhanced cancer treatment results. The first section of the review delves into the historical context and molecular mechanisms underlying the success of cisplatin, highlighting its DNA binding properties and subsequent interference with cellular processes. Despite its clinical efficacy, the inherent limitations, including dose-dependent toxicities and acquired resistance, accelerated the exploration of novel platinum derivatives. This led to the emergence of platinum(IV) prodrugs, designed to overcome resistance mechanisms and enhance selectivity through targeted drug delivery. The subsequent section provides an in-depth analysis of the principles of design and structural modifications employed in the development of platinum(IV) prodrugs. The transitions to the incorporation of photodynamic therapy (PDT) stands out as a synergistic approach to platinum-based anticancer treatment. The photophysical properties of platinum complexes are discussed in the context of their potential application in PDT, emphasizing on combined cytotoxic effects of platinum-based drugs and light-induced reactive oxygen species generation. This dual-action approach holds great promise for overcoming the limitations of traditional chemotherapy as well as producing superior therapeutic outcomes. Overall, the present report explores the latest developments in the development and use of platinum complexes, highlighting novel strategies such combination treatments, targeted delivery methods, and the generation of multifunctional complexes. It also provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape while proposing future directions for the development of next-generation platinum-based anticancer therapeutics.
期刊介绍：
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
