NCIt definition : An orally administered third generation platinum compound with potential antineoplastic
activity. Satraplatin forms highly reactive, charged, platinum complexes which bind
to nucleophilic groups in DNA, inducing intrastrand and interstrand DNA cross-links,
as well as DNA-protein cross-links. These cross-links result in cell growth inhibition
and apoptosis.;
