Question

Differentiation syndrome is a unique side effect of one form of this treatment that was once wrongly attributed to the use of all-trans retinoic acid. Resistance to this treatment, which is unrelated to Alzheimer’s disease or bacterial infections, can be caused by proteins in the ABCC subfamily called MRPs. Side effects of this treatment may be reduced by simultaneously administering folinic acid. This treatment commonly works by inhibiting (*) microtubule (10[2])assembly. A drug (10[1])used in this treatment has two chlorine atoms and two ammonia molecules coordinated in the cis configuration to (10[1])a (-5[1])platinum ion. Cell division is a common (10[1])target of this treatment, which can use alkylating agents to form DNA crosslinks. Because this treatment (10[1])targets rapidly-dividing cells, its side effects often include hair loss. For 10 points, name this type of treatment that uses drugs to treat cancer. (10[1])■END■
