[Effect of treatment schedule of an antitumor platinum complex, DWA2114R, on the antitumor activity]

Effects of treatment schedule of (-)-(R)-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine (1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato) platinum (II) monohydrate, DWA2114R, on the antitumor activity against murine colon adenocarcinoma (Colon 26) and Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) were examined. Colon 26 or 3LL tumors were transplanted s.c. into the flank and subsequently DW A2114R was given i.v. by single or multiple injections. The tumor weight was determined on days 14 or 25 and the antitumor effect was evaluated by GIR%. Although the total dose of DWA2114R was identical in both schedules, single injection was superior to multiple. Effect of treatment schedule of cis-dichlorodiammine-platinum (II), CDDP, and cis-diammine (1, 1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato) platinum (II), CBDCA, on the antitumor activities were the same as in case of DWA 2114R, i.e., single injection was superior to multiple.
