Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Limited quantities of clinical samples are available. As a pretreatment for efficient measurement of metal elements, the conditions for ashing using a microwave sample digester were investigated, and the treatment conditions were optimized. After platinum-based chemotherapy, it is detected in the body for a long period of time, and it was suggested that its elimination from the blood is related to factors such as albumin, regardless of renal function. In addition to the variation of essential trace metals in the body, the isotope effect was also examined for the same patient samples, and it was found that the isotopic ratios of iron, copper, and zinc in the plasma may differ from the natural ratios. Further studies are required.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
プラチナ系抗癌剤は消化器癌などの固形癌に対して汎用される薬剤である。一方で、プラチナが金属であることから同薬剤を用いる治療によって鉄、銅、亜鉛といった生体に必須の微量金属元素(バイオメタル)に影響する可能性がある。バイオメタルの変動をモニターすることによって生体が受けた影響を定量的に評価できる可能性があり、疾患の診断や治療効果の判定ならびに副作用の発現予測に応用できると考えている。
