How Does Carplatu Work?
Carboplatin exerts its anticancer effects through DNA damage mechanisms:
- DNA Cross-Linking: Forms covalent bonds with DNA purine bases
- Cell Cycle Arrest: Primarily affects G2 phase of cell division
- Apoptosis Induction: Triggers programmed cell death in cancer cells
- Reduced Nephrotoxicity: Lower kidney toxicity compared to cisplatin
