Carboplatin | Paraplatin | CBDCA | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Paraplatin (carboplatin) is a second-generation platinum compound and is activated intracellularly to form reactive platinum complexes that cross link DNA with DNA and with proteins. This induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Metformin | Glucophage | Apo-Metformin | mTOR Inhibitor 51 | Glucophage (metformin) inhibits part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and may exert antineoplastic effects through inhibition of mTOR and is FDA approved for type 2 diabetes (FDA.gov). |
