Comparative nephrotoxicity of cisplatin and new octahedral Pt(IV) complexes
1College of Medicine, Hanyang University, Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 133-791, Republic of Korea.
Purpose:
Previously, we have reported that the newly synthesized octahedral Pt(IV) compound, trans,cis-Pt(acetato)(2)Cl(2)(1,4-butanediamine), K101 and trans,cis-Pt(trifluoroacetato)(2)Cl(2)(1,4-butanediamine), K102 showed potent antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo. In order to compare the nephrotoxicity of the newly synthesized Pt(IV) complexes, K102 and K102 with cisplatin, we performed various tests.
Materials And Methods:
We performed a single dose acute toxicity test for LD(50) values determination, biochemical assays in blood serum, acid phosphatase enzyme histochemistry and transmission electron microscopic studies in renal proximal tubular cells in mice in vivo. The route of drugs administration is intraperitoneal injection.
Results:
In biochemical assays, the serum levels of BUN were significantly elevated at 6 h (p < 0.001), 1 day (p < 0.05) and 3 days (p < 0.001) after injection in cisplatin treated mice (6 mg/kg, single dose, i.p.). On the other hand, the serum levels of BUN were slightly elevated at 6 h (p < 0.01) only in K101 treated mice (8.2 mg/kg, single dose, i.p.), and were significantly raised at 6 h, 1 and 3 days (p < 0.05) after injection in K102 treated mice (6.2 mg/kg, single dose, i.p.). The higher serum BUN level in K102 treated mice is considered that K102 possesses more lipophilic fluoro group than acetyl group in K101. The values of creatinine and uric acid were similar in all groups. The ultrastructural morphological changes of K101- or K102-administrated mice were less remarkable than cisplatin-administrated mice. In acid phosphatase enzyme histochemistry, cisplatin treatment induced relevant changes in the distribution pattern of enzyme activity compared with K101 or K102 treatment at 7 days after injection.
Conclusions:
In conclusion, these results show that K101 is less nephrotoxic than cisplatin and a promising new platinum complex.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
