Popis: High-dose cancer treatment with cis-platin (CP, cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]), although of therapeutic value, is limited by its toxicity. Fast removal of excess drug shortly after administration and site-specific drug release are potential partial solutions of this problem. As a first stage toward these solutions, several adsorption/desorption properties of CP have been determined and analyzed. The main adsorbent selected for this study was silica silylated with (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The properties of this mercapto-derivatized silica (SiSH) were compared with an organically modified silica sol−gel material (Ormosil) using MPTS as modifier and with nonderivatized silica (SiOH). Although Langmuirian at first glance, a more detailed analysis of the adsorption isotherm of the CP/SiSH system revealed a cooperative mechanism of adsorption, namely, an increase in adsorption affinity with coverage. This cooperativity was detected by employing a coverage-dependent adsorption-equilibrium constant. Active ...
