[Comparative studies of the antitumor activities of CDDP and the analogs--using gynecological carcinomas transplanted into nude mice].

Abstract

In the present study, comparison of the therapeutic effects of CDDP and the analogues (CBDCA, 254S, DWA2114R and NK121) on human gynecological carcinomas transplanted into nude mice (uterine cervical cancer; UZ-1-N, endometrial cancer; UE-1-N, ovarian cancer; OCl-1-N, OS-4-N and OS-8-N) was made. CDDP (5 mg/kg), CBDCA (50 mg/kg), 254S (25 mg/kg), DWA (50 mg/kg) and NK121 (18 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally every four days at three doses. Simultaneously the tumor size and the body weight were measured and the peripheral WBC and BUN were examined. The results were as follows: 1) The administration of 254S caused a marked inhibition of the tumor growth against all xenografts into nude mice. 2) CDDP and CDDP analogues except 254S were not effective against UE-1-N, but in this xenograft antitumor activity of 254S was remarkable. 3) With 254S, there were a decrease in body weight and the peripheral leukopenia and the elevation of BUN level were more severe. Although 254S has severe side effects, 254S is seemed to be recommendable for the treatment of gynecological malignancies.
