[Product Description]
Cisplatin, cisplatinum, or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) is a platinum-based chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancers, including sarcomas, some carcinomas (e.g. small cell lung cancer, and ovarian cancer), lymphomas, and germ cell tumors.

It was the first member of its class, which now also includes carboplatin and oxaliplatin.
Platinum complexes are formed in cells, which bind and cause crosslinking of DNA; ultimately triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death).
