Cis - Platin Pt NH 3 2 Cl 2 is a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of cancers. It is given by injection into a vein. Cisplatin binds to the N 7 reactive center on purine residues and as such can cause deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage in cancer cells, blocking cell division and resulting in apoptotic cell death.
