| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the hepatic metastasis. To prevent hepatic metastasis, we prepared citric acid-protected platinum nanoparticles (Pt-NPs), which exhibited ROS-scavenging activities and selective delivery to a specific type of liver cell. Pt-NPs reduced the superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical levels in solution. Pt-NPs predominantly accumulated in hepatic nonparenchymal cells after intravenous injections in mice. In a mouse model of hepatic metastasis, the number of tumor cells in the liver was effectively reduced by a bolus intravenous injection of Pt-NPs. These results indicate that Pt-NPs are promising compounds for preventing hepatic metastasis.
