Question

Resistance to this medical treatment can be caused by a subfamily of ABC proteins called MRPs. A form of this treatment that uses arsenic trioxide can be used to treat APL. In this treatment, (15[1])5-fluorouracil is commonly paired (15[1])with folinic (15[1])acid to inhibit TS. A common mechanism of action used by this treatment is inhibition of (*) microtubule (10[1])assembly. One drug used in this treatment (10[1])consists of two chlorine atoms and two (10[1])ammonia (10[1])molecules (10[1])coordinated to a platinum ion in the cis configuration. Cell division is a common target of this (10[2])treatment which can use alkylating agents to form DNA cross-links. Because this treatment targets rapidly-dividing cells, its side effects often include hair loss. For 10 points, name this type of medical treatment that uses drugs to treat cancer. ■END■
