Single doses of the drug cisplatin and its analogues carboplatin and iproplatin were administered to tumour-bearing rats. The tumours used were two bronchial squamous cell carcinomas, that are part of a panel of experimental lung tumours developed at this institute. Cisplatin resulted in severe nephrotoxicity. Carboplatin and iproplatin were less nephrotoxic, but resulted in acute gastrointestinal and (probably) hematological toxicity. Carboplatin also caused late occurring liver damage. The responses of the tumours were compared at the level of maximum tolerated drug doses for early toxicity. The level of response was different for the two tumours. One was more sensitive to the drugs than the other. The effects of cisplatin and carboplatin were approximately similar. Iproplatin was less effective. Because cisplatin caused more severe late toxicity, it is concluded that carboplatin has the best therapeutic index for these two lung tumours. |
