| Research Abstract |
Microspheres incorporating ani-cancer drugs were developed as a new dosage formulation against peritoneal carcinomatosis. CDDP-MS,5FU-MS and MTX-MS (microspheres incorporating cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil and methotrexate, respectively) release the incorporating drug slowly for more than 3 weeks.
Those formulations delivered concentrated drugs to the peritoneal cavity for prolonged periods of time, while only a low concentration of the drug to the rest of the whole body. These foumulations achieved superior therapeutic effects on peritoneal carcinomatosis in mice to the respective drug in an aqueous solution form.
For side effects in animals, CDDP-MS and 5FU-MS had clearly mild systemic side effects (1ethal effect), while MTX-MS induced a stronger side effects.
CDDP-MS,which was used in the clinical trials, was given at cisplatin doses of 100 to 200 mg/person intraperitoneally to patients with malignant ascites. CDDP-MS showed a therapeutic effect in 70-80 % of the patients with mild side effects.
