Platinum-based anticancer drugs such as cisplatin are extensively used in chemotherapy regimens to treat various types of cancer. Currently, more than 50% of cancer patients are prescribed platinum-based anticancer medication. However, there are many serious problems with such drugs, including toxic side effects and a high risk of developing drug resistance. It is urgently necessary to identify novel anticancer agents that offer a safer and more efficacious alternative to clinical chemotherapeutic drugs, especially for patients who have already developed chemoresistance. ?
