RESUMO

In the present study, the anti-cancer effects of ginseng fermented with Phellinus linteus (GFPL) extract were examined through in vitro and in vivo assays. GFPL was produced by co-cultivating ginseng and Phellinus linteus together. Ginsenoside Rg3, Rh1 and Rh2 are important mediators of anti-angiogenesis and their levels in GFPL were enriched 24, 19 and 16 times, respectively, more than that of ginseng itself through the fermentation. GFPL exhibited distinct anti-cancer effects, including growth inhibition of the human lung carcinoma cell line A549, and promotion of immune activation by stimulating nitric oxide (NO) production in Raw 264.7 cells. Further evidence supporting anti-cancer effects of GFPL was its significant prolongment of the survival of B16F10 cancer cell-implanted mice. These results suggest that the GFPL may be a candidate for cancer prevention and treatment through immune activation and anti-angiogenic effects by enriching Rg3, Rh1 and Rh2.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Heptaplatin, a new platinum analog, has favorable toxicity profiles and antitumor activity, comparable to those of cisplatin, in the treatment of gastric cancer. This study was designed to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and pharmacokinetics of heptaplatin administered by an intraperitoneal route in patients with resected advanced gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventeen patients with resected advanced gastric cancer were entered onto the study. After completion of a curative resection and an astomosis, heptaplatin was administered intraperiton eally in one liter of 5% dextrose solution. The starting heptaplatin dose was 400 mg/m2 of the body surface area, and was escalated in 200 mg/m2 increments, to cohorts of three patients. A pharmacokinetic analysis was carried out to determine the total and ultrafiltratable platinum concentrations in the plasma, peritoneal fluid, and urine. RESULTS: Patients were unable to tolerate a 1, 000 mg/m2 dose level, and at 800 mg/m2, reVersible Grade III toxic ities, including elevated creatinine, proteinuria, hypon- atremia, abdominal pain, and intraabdominal bleeding were noted. No significant toxicity was noted up to a 600 mg/m2 dose level. The ratio of the peak peritoneal to peak plasma drug concentrations were 19.4, 16.6 and 22.8 at doses of 400 mg/m2, 600 mg/m2 and 800 mg/m2, respectively. The pharmacological advantage, expressed as the peritoneal to plasma AUC ratio ranged from 4.3 to 7.0. CONCLUSION: Heptaplatin can be delivered by an intra peritoneal route, with both an acceptable toxicity profile and a major pharmacokinetic advantage for cavity exposure. The MTD of intraperitoneal heptaplatin was 800 mg/m2. The major DLTs were nephrotoxicity and intraabdominal bleeding. The recommended starting dose for a subsequent study would be 600 mg/m2.

RESUMO

In an attempt to develop a new anticancer platinum complex with greater or equivalent antitumor activity but reduced side effects compared with cisplatin (CDDP), a series of new platinum complexes having a glycolate leaving ligand was synthesized. Among them, five complexes were selected for further development on the basis of adequate water solubility, low nephrotoxicity and high antitumor activity in a murine system. The chemosensitivity of these five complexes was examined in MTT assay against two human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell lines, PC-9 and PC-14, and two human stomach adenocarcinoma cell lines, MKN-45 and KATO III. Their IC50 and relative antitumor activity (RAA) values were compared with those of CDDP and 254-S, a second-generation platinum complex with a glycolate leaving ligand under phase III clinical trial. The lowest mean IC50 value was observed in CDDP, followed by SKI 2034R and SKI 2033R. In this study, the antitumor activity was evaluated in terms of RAA values and SKI 2034R showed the highest RAA value. The order of RAA values was SKI 2034R > CDDP > SKI 2032R > SKI 2033R > SKI 2030R > SKI 2029R > 254-S. Based on the RAA order, we have recommended SKI 2034R as the most promising candidate for further development of a clinically useful platinum complex.
