title: A peculiar toxicity manifested by platinum(II)amines in rats: gastric distension after intraperitoneal administration.
abstract: Metoclopramide i.p. reduces the gastric distension consistently seen in rats given cisplatin i.p. at effective immunosuppressant doses (6 mg/kg). Many other immunosuppressant/oncolytic platinum amines also engendered gastric distension but certain dimers and 1,2-cyclohexanediaminoplatinum (II) compounds did not. This phenomenon appears to be due to paralysis of gastric emptying (without appetite suppression).
