Notes
In aqueous solution cis-trans isomerization of cisplatin occurs. Isomerization is increased at elevated temperatures. Stability of cisplatin in aqueous solutions was enhanced by increasing the sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration to 0.9% and was adversely affected in alkaline solutions such as sodium bicarbonate solutions. Further, even though soluble in DMSO we do not recommend to dissolve cisplatin in DMSO. The DMSO inserts itself into the ligand. It is recommended to prepare all solutions fresh and protect from light.

Off-white to orange powder.
