Research Interests
Cisplatin and homologs continue to play a key role in treating cancers. However, platinum-based chemotherapy often results in relatively low survival due to the development of drug resistance. Enhanced DNA repair resulting in reduced apoptosis is the major mechanism of acquired platinum resistance. To block the DNA repair pathway, thereby enhancing platinum sensitivity, making cancer chemotherapy more effective.
A promising novel anticancer drug dicycloplatin (DCP), approved by China FDA demonstrated as effective as cisplatin and carboplatin – with more tolerable side effects – is an important therapeutic advance. Clinical investigation of dicycloplatin in the United States and other countries is warranted.
