Renal complications of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum.
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II (DDP), an active agent against special cancer types, is limited by its nephrotoxicity. It damages the proximal tubular epithelium and may cause specific tubular dysfunctions, such as elevation of enzymes and 2 beta microglobulin in the urine or, under special conditions, low calcium and/or magnesium serum concentrations. Cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II produces acute renal failure which can be prevented by hydration. The value of diuretics in preventing renal failure is not determined and needs to be evaluated further.

Prevention of renal failure in rats receiving cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) by administration of furosemide.
The clinicopathological signs of renal failure induced in rats by weekly i.v. administration of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) were prevented by pretreatment with furosemide. Weight loss, anemia, and generalized toxic effects of the drug were not effected by furosemide.
متن کاملPrevention of lethal and renal toxicity of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) by induction of metallothionein synthesis without compromising its antitumor activity in mice.
The participation of renal metallothionein (MT) in the toxicity and antitumor activity of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) in male mice was examined. Preinduction of MT in the kidney by the s.c. administration of bismuth compounds decreased the lethality and renal and gastrointestinal toxicity caused by a single s.c. injection of cis-DDP. In the present study a correlation between the...
متن کاملIn vivo resistance towards anthracyclines, etoposide, and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II).
From a single wild-type strain of Ehrlich ascites tumor, sublines resistant to daunorubicin, etoposide, and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) have been developed in vivo. Different levels of resistance were achieved after 4 to 8 months for anthracyclines (greater than 32-fold), cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (4-fold), and etoposide (greater than 6-fold). Anthracycline resistance was associated...
متن کاملAlteration and activation of sequence-specific cleavage of DNA by bleomycin in the presence of the antitumor drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II).
The antitumor drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) dramatically alters the sequence-specific cleavage of the bleomycin A2-iron(II)-O2 system. Preferred bleomycin cleavage sites adjacent to oligo(dG) regions on two restriction fragments of plasmid pBR322 DNA were masked by pretreatment with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II). trans-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II), which is inactive as an antitumor d...
متن کاملEffect of selenium in combination with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) in the treatment of murine fibrosarcoma.
cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) is a well-known anticancer agent the use of which is limited by its toxicity. Since it has been demonstrated that selenium is able to combine with metals like cadmium and mercury and to reduce their toxicity, we decided to investigate whether it could reduce the toxicity of platinum. We treated fibrosarcoma-bearing mice with a combination of cis-DDP an...
