Platinum- and gold-based drugs on cancer

Bao Jing Chen, Yoke Kqueen Cheah

Abstract


Cancer remain top health concern around the world. In the war against cancer, drug discovery and development is key focus of main government and non-government organization with the aim of minimizing cancer related harmful outcomes. Emerging of medicinal bioinorganic chemistry has illustrated many innovative metal based drugs that are found to be effective in cancer, with the leading success achieved by cisplatin.  Nevertheless, reporting more and more undesirable problems of cisplatin and other platinum anticancer drugs during clinical trial have provided opportunity in searching novel anticancer drugs with distinct mode of action. This review summarise the development and current status of platinum and non-platinum based cancer chemotherapy, represented by gold.
