Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug discovered in 1965 to inhibit cell division. It was found to be effective against tumors. Cisplatin is synthesized through a reaction involving Magnus's Green Salt. Carboplatin is a related compound that replaces cisplatin's chloride ligands with cyclohexane dicarboxylate ligands, giving it a longer half-life and reduced nephrotoxicity but also susceptibility to resistance. Dicycloplatin forms polymer chains through hydrogen bonding between carboplatin and cyclohexane dicarboxylate, making it more potent than carboplatin while maintaining similar myelosuppressive effects.
