Cisplatin Derivatives as Antiviral Agents

The use of polymeric derivatives of cisplatin as antiviral drugs is reviewed. Some of these drugs inhibit a wide variety of both RNA and DNA viruses including those responsible for herpes, common colds, chickenpox, and smallpox. The desirability of polymeric drugs is described as is the mode(s) of a...
