title: Retinal toxicity study of intravitreal carboplatin and iproplatin.
abstract: We tested the intravitreal toxicity of two second-generation, antineoplastic, platinum-coordination compounds, carboplatin and iproplatin, in the rabbit. No histologic or electroretinographic changes were observed in doses of 3 micrograms or less. These analogues of cisplatin are 30 times less toxic than the parent compound and may be useful in the prevention of cell proliferation in the vitreous.
