| Popis: | ELOXATIN (Oxaliplatin) is a novel platinum containing anti-cancer agent with a diaminocyclohexane carrier ligand which has been approved in several major European countries. Clinical studies have demonstrated that the compound exhibits marked activity against colorectal cancers in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The aim of this work was to develop and validate a highly sensitive inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assay for the determination of oxaliplatin-derived platinum in plasma ultrafiltrate, plasma and whole blood and to apply this technique to clinical pharmacokinetic studies with oxaliplatin. Ultratrace detection of platinum in plasma ultrafiltrate was achieved using ultrasonic nebulisation combined with ICP-MS. This technique allows detection of platinum at the 0.001 microg Pt/ml level in only 100 microl of matrix. Assays in blood and plasma utilised a standard Meinhardt nebuliser and spray chamber, achieving detection limits of 0.1 microg Pt/ml in 100 and 200 microl of matrix, respectively. The assays were validated (accuracy and precision within +/- 15%) over the concentration ranges: 0.001-0.250 microg Pt/ml in plasma ultrafiltrate and 0.1-10 microg Pt/ml for plasma and whole blood. The effect of sample digestion. dilution, long term frozen storage and quantitation in the presence of 5-FU were also investigated and validated. The method was used to monitor platinum exposure following oxaliplatin administration (130 mg/m2) to cancer patients. Following a 2 h i.v. infusion, peak platinum levels declined in a triphasic manner in all blood compartments. Free platinum was detected in plasma ultrafiltrate at low levels (0.001 0.010 microg Pt/ml) for up to 3 weeks. In conclusion, a highly sensitive and specific assay has been developed for the determination of platinum in biofluids. This method enabled characterisation of the long term exposure to platinum in patients following oxaliplatin treatment. |
