To clarify the difference in nephrotoxicity between cisplatin and carboplatin, the pharmacokinetics of platinum, renal function and nuclear DNA synthesis in renal cortical and outer medullary cells were studied in rats which had received cisplatin or carboplatin. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given either cisplatin or carboplatin intravenously at an equi-toxic dose (LD10 or LD50) and were killed at various times within 7 days after the injection. Cisplatin bound to plasma proteins more avidly than carboplatin. Much more platinum was detectable in the renal nuclei after cisplatin injection than after carboplatin injection. BUN and serum creatinine levels in the rats treated with 8.5 mg/kg of cisplatin were significantly higher than in those treated with 100 mg/kg of carboplatin. Cisplatin markedly suppressed the renal nuclear DNA synthesis both in vivo and in vitro, when compared with carboplatin. It is concluded that the differences in nephrotoxicity between cisplatin and carboplatin are related to their different inhibitory effects on nuclear DNA synthesis in the renal cells.
