Product Information

Biological Activity

Carboplatin is a DNA synthesis inhibitor.
DNA synthesis is the natural or artificial creation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.
Carboplatin inhibits DNA synthesis by binding to DNA and interfering with repair mechanism. In MTT assays with A2780, SKOV-3, IGROV-1 and HX62 human ovarian cancer cells, Carboplatin inhibited cell proliferation with IC50 of 6.2 ¦ÌM, 12.4 ¦ÌM, 2.2 ¦ÌM and 116 ¦ÌM for A2780, SKOV-3, IGROV-1 and HX62, respectively [1]. In UMC-11, H727 and H835 lung carcinoid cell line, Carboplatin also shows the anti-proliferative activities [2].
In xenograft-bearing mice, Carboplatin (60 mg/kg) had a modest antitumor effect and the relative tumor volumes on day 6 were 8.4 relative to the control of 11.9 [1]. Treatment of 56 small cell lung carcinoma patients with Carboplatin (300-400 mg/m2), 23 patients achieved a response including 5 complete remissions. 18 of 30 previously untreated patients achieved a response. Carboplatin was well tolerated and there was no nephrotoxicity [3].

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by  (Animal B Km / Animal A Km)
For example, to modify the dose of resveratrol used for a mouse (22.4 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 22.4 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for resveratrol of 11.2 mg/kg.
