“Recent studies have shown that sulfur-containing antioxidants relieve the dose limiting side effects of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP), the most commonly used ionic platinum therapy.”
“A metallomics approach can be used to probe the mechanisms by which the co-administration of sulfur-containing ‘chemoprotective agents’ can modulate the metabolism of cisplatin in the bloodstream.”

“Assuming that electrostatic effects are dominant, cisplatin should interact more strongly with the sulfur atom of CH3S− and deprotonated CYS-S− than transplatin.”
“During the later stages of reactions of cisplatin with albumin, release of NH3 occurs due to the strong trans influence of Met sulfur , which weakens the Pt-NH3 bonds, and protein cross-linking is observed.”
