Step-by-step explanation

Cis - Platin PtNH32Cl2 is a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of cancers. It is given by injection into a vein. Cisplatin binds to the N7 reactive center on purine residues and as such can cause deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage in cancer cells, blocking cell division and resulting in apoptotic cell death.
