A central theme is the development of chemoresistance, which is categorized into intrinsic and acquired forms, with acquired resistance often involving decreased drug uptake, increased efflux, enhanced DNA repair, and inactivation by antioxidants like glutathione. The review notes that cisplatin is highly effective for testicular germ cell cancer but resistance is common in other solid tumors. Potential strategies to mitigate toxicity and resistance include the use of natural antioxidants and nanotechnologies to improve bioavailability.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Cisplatin, an inorganic complex of platinum, is a chemotherapeutic drug that has been used for 45 years. Despite the progress of pharmaceutical sciences and medicine and the successful application of other platinum complexes for the same purpose, cisplatin is still the therapy of choice in many cancers. Treatment for testicular, ovarian, head and neck, urothelial, cervical, esophageal, breast, and pulmonary malignancies is still unthinkable without the use of this drug. However, cisplatin is also known for many side effects, of which the most pronounced are nephrotoxicity leading to acute renal failure, neurotoxicity, and ototoxicity. Mechanistic studies have proven that one of the conditions that plays a major role in the development of cisplatin-induced toxicities is oxidative stress. Knowing the fact that numerous antioxidants can be used to reduce oxidative stress, thereby reducing tissue lesions, organ failure, and apoptosis at the cellular level, many studies have defined antioxidants as a priority for investigation as a cotreatment. To investigate the mechanism of antioxidant action in vivo, many animal models have been employed. In the last few years, studies have mostly used rodents and zebrafish models. In this article, some of the most recent investigations that used animal models are listed, and the advantages and disadvantages of such experimental studies are pointed out. Keywords: cisplatin, oxidative stress, toxicity, animal models, perspectives
