title: Enhancement of antitumor effects of new analogue of platinum, cis-diammine (glycolato) platinum (254-S) combined with hyperthermia in vivo.
abstract: Cis-diammine (glycolato) platinum (254-S) is a second generation platinum complex with reduced nephrotoxicity. In this study the antitumor effect of 254-S combined with hyperthermia in vivo in mice was studied. On the 6th day after inoculation of the Ehrlich ascites tumour cells, 254-S (15mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) and hyperthermia was induced by using a circulating water bath at 42.5 degrees C for 45 min. The antitumour effect was evaluated by relative tumour volume. Furthermore, platinum concentration in tumour tissue was determined by using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The most effective condition was found to be the combination of 254-S with hyperthermia. A significantly higher concentration of platinum in the tumour tissue was observed when treatment with 254-S was combined with hyperthermia, than with treatment using 254-S alone. Our study suggested that the accumulation of 254-S in the tumour tissue, and its retention at a high concentration within the tumour tissue long term was one of the reasons for the enhancement of antitumour effect of 254-S treatment when combined with hyperthermia.
