Polarised light micrograph (PLM) of oxaliplatin crystals. Oxaliplatin (trade name Eloxatin) is a anti cancer chemotherapy drug used to treat colorectal (intestinal) cancer, typically along with folinic acid and 5-fluorouracil in a combination known as FOLFOX. This platinum-based alkylating agent is a cytotoxic drug because it interferes with the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genetic material in cancer cells, causing cell death.
