Abstract
A new way of synthesizing the dihydrated oxaliplatin complex (DOC) is presented and its cytotoxicity is compared to that of oxaliplatin and cisplatin. By hydrolyzing oxaliplatin in aqueous sodium hydroxide at 70°C, DOC was formed in less than 1 h. Cytotoxicity was studied in the non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 using the fluorescent microculture cytotoxic assay. Oxaliplatin and cisplatin had similar cytotoxicity profiles, whereas DOC was found to be considerably more toxic. The cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin might, at least in part, be mediated through the formation of DOC.
