(Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott)

After displacement of the 2 long-chain aliphatic leaving groups (neodecanoic acid), platinum diaminocyclohexane (DACH) complexes become highly reactive and alkylate macromolecules, forming both inter- and intra-stranded DNA cross-linkings and inhibiting DNA synthesis, which results in tumor cell cytotoxicity.

After displacement of the labile oxalate ligand leaving group, the active oxaliplatin derivatives (monoaquo and diaquo DACH platinum) alkylate macromolecules, and form both inter- and intra-strand platinum-DNA crosslinks, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and resulting in cytotoxicity.

(Liposomal Oxaliplatin, NCI Thesaurus)

After displacement of the labile oxalate ligand leaving group, active oxaliplatin derivatives, such as monoaquo and diaquo DACH platinum, alkylate macromolecules, forming both inter- and intra-strand platinum-DNA crosslinks, which result in inhibition of DNA replication and transcription and cell-cycle nonspecific cytotoxicity.
