Description
Product Description
Oxaliplatin (CAS 61825-94-3) is a third-generation platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent characterized by its 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) carrier ligand. Unlike first-generation platinum drugs, Oxaliplatin forms DNA adducts that inhibit replication and transcription, triggering apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in rapidly dividing cells.
In preclinical research, Oxaliplatin is employed to study:
Formation and repair of platinum-DNA adducts.
Cellular response to DNA damage, including apoptosis and cell cycle modulation.
Mechanisms of drug resistance, such as enhanced nucleotide excision repair or mismatch repair pathway activity.
Combination therapy strategies with targeted inhibitors or other cytotoxic agents.
Molecular pathways affected by platinum-based DNA damage, including p53, p21, and caspase activation.
Supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder with ≥99% purity, Oxaliplatin is stable under refrigerated conditions (2–8 °C) and soluble in water, DMSO, and physiological buffers. Analytical verification is performed using HPLC, MS, and NMR to ensure consistency and high purity.
Oxaliplatin’s unique DACH ligand and platinum coordination enable selective cytotoxicity and minimize cross-resistance with other platinum compounds. Its well-characterized activity profile makes it an indispensable tool for studying DNA crosslinking, cellular cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and chemotherapy resistance mechanisms in vitro and in vivo.

Mechanism of Action
Oxaliplatin exerts its activity as a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent by forming covalent DNA adducts, leading to intra- and inter-strand DNA crosslinks. These crosslinks prevent proper DNA replication and transcription, ultimately activating cell cycle checkpoints and inducing apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells.
The 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) carrier ligand contributes to enhanced cytotoxicity and reduced cross-resistance compared to earlier platinum drugs. In preclinical research, Oxaliplatin is used to study:
DNA damage recognition and repair mechanisms.
Cellular responses to platinum-induced cytotoxicity.
Mechanisms of drug resistance, including nucleotide excision repair and mismatch repair pathways.
Signaling cascades involving p53, p21, and caspases.
Combination therapy effects with targeted inhibitors or other chemotherapeutics.
