NCIt definition : A synthetic second-generation platinum-containing compound related to cisplatin. Iproplatin
binds to and forms DNA crosslinks and platinum-DNA adducts, resulting in DNA replication
failure and cell death. Although less prone to glutathione inactivation compared to
cisplatin, resistance to this agent has been observed in vitro due to repair of platination
damage by tumor cells. (NCI04);
