We have investigated the degradation reactions, in chloride medium, of the third generation drug oxaliplatin using density functional theory. Our calculations confirm that this drug should be administered in chloride free solutions, and we have ascertained the main biodegradation products upon chloride binding, which are essential to establish the active compounds reacting with DNA. In addition, detailed knowledge of these platinum complexes is fundamental for correct elimination procedures in wastewater treatments. © 2008 American Chemical Society.

Abstract
We have investigated the degradation reactions, in chloride medium, of the third generation drug oxaliplatin using density functional theory. Our calculations confirm that this drug should be administered in chloride free solutions, and we have ascertained the main biodegradation products upon chloride binding, which are essential to establish the active compounds reacting with DNA. In addition, detailed knowledge of these platinum complexes is fundamental for correct elimination procedures in wastewater treatments. © 2008 American Chemical Society.File in questo prodotto:
