Carboplatin | Paraplatin | CBDCA | Chemotherapy - Platinum 6 | Paraplatin (carboplatin) is a second-generation platinum compound and is activated intracellularly to form reactive platinum complexes that cross link DNA with DNA and with proteins. This induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
