title: Chromosome aberration and mitotic activity in human peripheral blood lymphocytes following in vitro action of platinum cytostatics cis-DDP and EM-Pt.
abstract: Platinum-based preparations, the commercially available Platidiam (Lachema, Brno; cis-diaminodichloroplatinum) and the second generation experimental version--ethylmalonate platinum complex--EM-Pt (Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Prague) were left to act 3, 6 and 24 h on human peripheral blood lymphocytes, cultured in vitro for a short period of time. The utilized concentrations affected cell mitosis, provoking chromosome aberrations. A relationship was found between the effect of the concentration employed and the duration of action of the agent. cis-DDP proved to be a more powerful clastogenic agent than EM-Pt. Under in vitro conditions, neither of the two cytostatics required metabolic activation to trigger its action.
