Abstract
Cisplatin and its congeners are well-known to exert their therapeutic effects on cancer via interaction with DNA in the cell nucleus. On the other hand, the undesirable side-effects of these drugs appear to also be linked, at least to some extent, to interaction of the platinum with proteins and peptides. For other classes of anticancer drugs, interaction with proteins is in fact the primary pathway whereby therapeutically-useful effects are achieved. Here, a review is given of the known instances of interaction of cisplatin and related compounds with proteins and biologically relevant peptides, with emphasis on structural and reactivity aspects.

Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
