Abstract
Automobile catalytic converters are dispersing platinum-group elements (PGEs) Rh, Pt, and Pd into the environment (1-3). This paper represents the first detailed study to assess the PGE content of soils and grasses from U.S. roadsides. These soils were analyzed using cation exchange pretreatment and ultrasonic nebulizer-ICP-MS (4). Highway and several urban sites showed Pt abundances of 64-73 ng/g immediately adjacent to the roadside, with corresponding Pd and Rh abundances of 18-31 ng/g and 3-7 ng/g, respectively. All Pt and most Pd and Rh abundances are statistically above local background soil values. Platinum, Rd, and Rh show positive correlations with traffic-related elements (Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb) but no correlations with nontraffic-related elements (Y, Ga). Iridium and Ru show no correlations with any of these trace elements. These PGE abundances are comparable to European studies (5-7) and are approaching concentrations that would be economically viable to recover. This study also demonstrates transport of Pt statistically above background more than 50 m from the roadside. Further study is necessary to see how mobile the PGEs are in roadside environments, but these initial data indicate only Pt is taken up by plants.

Abstract
The present study was designed to elucidate the clinical feasibility of a new intraarterial infusion system with an extracorporeal charcoal chemofiltration circuit, which is expected to achieve a super high-dose cisplatin pelvic perfusion with a limited systemic exposure to platinum. After inferior vena cava isolation was percutaneously achieved by balloon catheter technique, cisplatin (140-240 mg/m2) was administered by selective intrauterine arterial infusion, with inferior and superior gluteal arterial embolization. The platinum-containing blood was pumped through an extracorporeal charcoal chemofiltration circuit. Pharmacokinetics, tumor response, and toxicity of platinum under this system were studied in 14 patients with locally advanced uterine cervical carcinoma. Extracorporeal charcoal filters significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the prefilter area under concentration-time curve of plasma-free platinum by 86.7 +/- 5.2% at postfilter site and 76.3 +/- 6.6% at peripheral circulation, respectively. Although all adverse effects were mild under this system, tumor response and tissue platinum concentrations were augmented dose dependently with the administration of cisplatin. The extracorporeal chemofiltration system achieved a super high-dose cisplatin pelvic perfusion with the minimal adverse effects, allowing further cisplatin dose escalation with further augmented tumor response. This will contribute to the reduction in the extent of disease of locally advanced uterine cervical carcinoma.

Abstract
The Monte Carlo computer codes EGS4 and MCNP were used to develop a theoretical model of a 180 degrees geometry in vivo X-ray fluorescence system for the measurement of platinum concentration in head and neck tumors. The model included specification of the photon source, collimators, phantoms and detector. Theoretical results were compared and evaluated against X-ray fluorescence data obtained experimentally from an existing system developed by the Swansea In Vivo Analysis and Cancer Research Group. The EGS4 results agreed well with the MCNP results. However, agreement between the measured spectral shape obtained using the experimental X-ray fluorescence system and the simulated spectral shape obtained using the two Monte Carlo codes was relatively poor. The main reason for the disagreement between the results arises from the basic assumptions which the two codes used in their calculations. Both codes assume a "free" electron model for Compton interactions. This assumption will underestimate the results and invalidates any predicted and experimental spectra when compared with each other.

Abstract
This study examined how the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system and p53 interact to maintain genomic integrity in the presence of the mutagenic stress induced by cisplatin (DDP). Sensitivity to the cytotoxic and mutagenic effect of DDP was assessed using a panel of sublines of the MMR-deficient HCT116 colon carcinoma cells in which MMR function had been restored by transfer of a copy of MLH1 on chromosome 3 or in which p53 function had been disabled by expression of HPV-16 E6. Loss of p53 function by expression of E6 in MMR-proficient HCT116+ ch3 cells conferred only 1.1-2.0-fold resistance to a panel of commonly used chemotherapeutic agents, whereas disruption of p53 in MMR-deficient HCT116 cells resulted in substantial levels of resistance to some agents (paclitaxel, 1.9-fold; gemcitabine, 2.7-fold; 6-thioguanine, 3.3-fold; and etoposide, 4.4-fold) but sensitization to other agents (topotecan, 2.5-fold; and DDP, 3.3-fold). Loss of MMR or p53 alone had only a minor effect on sensitivity to the mutagenic effect of DDP as measured by the appearance of variants resistant to 6-thioguanine, etoposide, topotecan, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel in the population 10 days later (1.0-2.4-fold), whereas loss of both p53 and MMR had a more profound effect (1.7-6.5-fold). Loss of both p53 and MMR increased the basal frequency insertion/deletion mutations detected by a shuttle vector-based assay to a greater extent than loss of either alone. In association with DDP-induced injury, loss of p53 or MMR alone resulted in 1.2- and 1.7-fold more mutations, whereas loss of both resulted in a 5.1-fold increase in mutant frequency. Examination of the impact of loss of p53 and/or MMR on the DDP-induced cell cycle checkpoint activation, p53 induction, ability of the cell to tolerate adducts in its DNA, and the rate of disappearance of platinum from genomic DNA indicated the effects of the loss of p53 and/or MMR on all of these parameters, suggesting a multifactorial etiology for the changes in sensitivity to the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of DDP. These results indicate that p53 and MMR can cooperate to control sensitivity to the cytotoxic effect of DDP and to limit its mutagenic potential in the colon cancer cells.

Abstract
Local distribution into brain tumor and the pharmacokinetics of 4-pyridoxate diammine hydroxy platinum (PyPt), a novel cisplatin derivative, were examined using rats implanted with 9L glioma and compared with cisplatin. PyPt (5.0 mg/kg) and cisplatin (3.5 mg/kg) were administered as selective intracarotid infusions for 30 min to the rats. Dialysates from extracellular fluid (ECF) in tumor and non-tumor brain tissues were collected by simultaneous microdialysis. The amount of platinum was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, as representative of the drug administered. Plasma concentration of total and protein unbound platinum, and urinary excretion amount and tissue distribution of total platinum were also determined. Unbound platinum was accumulated preferentially in the brain tumor tissue ECF after drug administration, while there was little distribution into normal tissue ECF of the brain. In the brain tumor, the values of the unbound platinum AUC and MRT, where AUC is the area under the concentration-time curve and MRT is the mean residence time, for PyPt were 1.7 and 1.3 times larger than with cisplatin, respectively. The brain tumor distribution coefficient (the ratio of brain tumor ECF platinum AUC to plasma protein unbound platinum AUC) for PyPt (0.85) was higher than that for cisplatin (0.69), indicating that the local amount of platinum distributed into the glioma is enhanced by PyPt rather than by cisplatin. The binding to plasma proteins of PyPt (23%) was lower than that of cisplatin (65%). The total platinum concentration in tissues after administration of PyPt was significantly lower than that of cisplatin in the kidney, liver and spleen. In addition, the urinary excretion amount of total platinum after the administration of PyPt was significantly larger than that of cisplatin. These results suggested that PyPt is easily eliminated by rapid urinary excretion because of its reduced interaction with plasma proteins and poor distribution to the kidney or reticuloendothelial tissues such as the liver and spleen. It is concluded that PyPt is an effective cisplatin derivative for the treatment of gliomas with the added advantage of enhancing local distribution of drug into the brain tumor and reducing its accumulation in the kidney, which has previously caused severe nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Cisplatin intraperitoneal (i.p.) chemotherapy is frequently performed for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, cisplatin penetrates only the surface of the peritoneal tumor and has serious side effects on renal cells. Thus, cisplatin i.p. chemotherapy had been limited to use for these patients. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) has been used for reducing the toxic effects of anticancer drugs because of its cytoprotective effects and has been reported to enhance tumoricidal activity of anticancer drugs. In our study, the effects of PGE1 on the rat peritoneal carcinomatosis model treated with cisplatin i.p. chemotherapy were evaluated. Cisplatin (5 mg/kg) was given in an i.p. administration to 70 tumor-free rats. PGE1 was administered to 35 rats through the tail vein at an infusion rate of 0.1 microg/kg/min (1 ml/hr), and the remaining 35 rats were injected with physiological saline. Forty rats were given an i.p. injection of 1 x 10(7) AH100B cells. Ten days after injection, cisplatin (5 mg/kg) was administered with PGE1 to 20 and the remaining 20 were injected with physiological saline. The accumulation of platinum in the tissues and apoptotic renal cells were analyzed. The maximum concentrations of platinum in the kidneys of PGE1 untreated rats (tumor-free: 10.11 microg/g; tumor-bearing: 11.45 microg/g) did not differ from those of platinum in the kidneys of PGE1-treated rats (tumor-free: 10.28 microg/g; tumor-bearing: 13.28 microg/g). The number of apoptotic renal cells was significantly reduced by PGE1 administration in both tumor-free and tumor-bearing rats. Moreover, PGE1 increased the maximum platinum concentration in tumor masses (5.31 microg/g) of the treated group compared with that in tumor mass of the control group (2.72 microg/g, p = 0.009). These results indicate that PGE1 may increase the anticancer effect of cisplatin by increasing tumor platinum concentration and may reduce the chance of cisplatin-induced renal failure. Intraperitoneal cisplatin chemotherapy combined with PGE1 treatment may have a therapeutic benefit for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of cisplatin were studied in a 46-year-old hemodialysis patient treated for uterine cancer with weekly cisplatin. Hemodialysis was performed immediately before, one-hour after, and two-hours after cisplatin administration for two consecutive cycles each. The concentrations of total and free platinum were measured. The decay curve of both total platinum and free platinum showed a biphasic pattern characterized by an alpha-phase and a beta-phase, the same as in non-hemodialysis patients. There were no differences between the individual cycles in the peak platinum concentration or the decay pattern. The plasma platinum concentration decreased to below detection limit 3 months after the final dose.

Abstract
Several experiments studied the effects of i.v. infusions of the bradykinin agonist, Cereport (RMP-7), on permeability of the blood-brain tumor barrier in rat gliomas. First, the ability of Cereport to increase uptake of two poorly blood-brain barrier-penetrating drugs (lypophilic paclitaxel and hydrophilic carboplatin) was directly compared to provide new information regarding the scope of delivery effects achieved with Cereport. Next, the increased uptake of platinum into tumor and brain surrounding tumor was shown to closely parallel that of radiolabeled carboplatin, confirming that delivery of a biologically active moiety is increased with Cereport. This study also demonstrated that the elevated tumor levels of platinum persisted for at least 2 h. The enhanced carboplatin uptake was then examined using a novel, high spatial resolution analysis of autoradiography. This revealed that the effects of Cereport were not uniform throughout the tumor, because it especially modified those areas normally impermeable to carboplatin. Finally, a range of i.v. Cereport doses (3.0 and 9.0 microg/kg) was tested in combination with carboplatin to determine whether increased survival might be achieved and to define the relationship between Cereport dose, plasma levels, uptake of carboplatin, and enhanced survival. Survival was enhanced only by the high dose of Cereport; the high dose also produced robust increases in carboplatin uptake and plasma concentrations of Cereport estimated to achieve the K(i), whereas the low dose did not. These data offer fundamental information regarding the effects of Cereport on delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to brain tumors and provide new insight into receptor-mediated permeability of the blood-brain tumor barrier.

Abstract
A noninvasive in vivo method has been developed and optimized for measuring platinum concentrations in the kidneys of patients receiving chemotherapy. The method is based on polarizing the X-ray beam from an orthovoltage radiotherapy treatment unit, the Pantak DXT-300, and using the beam to produce emission of the characteristic platinum X-rays from the kidney. The platinum is derived from platinum-based chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin and its analogues (carboplatin and iproplatin), used to treat cancer patients. The clinical motivation for measuring the platinum concentration in both the kidneys and the tumor is to optimize the treatment by establishing the relationships between the accumulation of the drug at those sites. Such clinical information could be valuable in maximizing the therapeutic ratio toward the tumor tissue and limiting the hazards to the kidney. The performance of the system was experimentally optimized with respect to the applied X-ray tube voltage, filter material, and polarizer. Additionally, the MCNP-4B Monte-Carlo computer code was used to estimate the optimum shielding materials, the thickness surrounding the X-ray tube, and the arrangement of collimators, to protect patients from the hazards of the scattering radiation. Clinical measurements can be made with a combination of a bilayer of copper and silicon as polarizer, a 0.25-mm tin filter introduced in the path between the X-ray beam and the polarizer, and an operating voltage of 220 kV. The minimum detection limit achieved with this arrangement is 16 ppm, for a kidney depth of 3 x 3 cm, with a skin dose of 1.6 mGy and measurement time of 2,000 seconds.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present work was to examine the effect of (191)Pt-cisplatin, and to study the manner in which radiation and cisplatin interact, in a human cervical carcinoma cell line (ME-180). METHODS AND MATERIALS The cells were incubated for 1 hour with nonradioactive cisplatin or (191)Pt-cisplatin with specific activities in the range 48-167 MBq/mg. The surviving fraction of the cells after 7 days' growth was determined with a nonclonogenic tetrazolium-based (MTT) assay. The uptake of platinum into the cell and the amount of platinum bound to DNA was measured. RESULTS The 50% inhibition concentration (IC(50)) decreased with increasing specific activity of the (191)Pt-cisplatin. For the specific activities 0 (nonradioactive), 48, 89, 143, 157, and 167 MBq/mg, IC(50) was found to be 3.24 +/- 0.08, 2.77 +/- 0.55, 2.17 +/- 0.34, 1.15 +/- 0.04, 1.02 +/- 0.03, and 0.76 +/- 0.13 respectively. Isobologram analysis showed a supra-additive (synergistic) interaction between the radiotoxicity and chemotoxicity for specific activities over 100 MBq/mg. CONCLUSION The cytotoxic effect of cisplatin may be enhanced by labeling the drug with the radionuclide (191)Pt.

Abstract
SM-11355, cis-[((1R,2R)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N')bis(myristato)] platinum (II), is a lipophilic platinum complex under clinical development that targets primary hepatocellular carcinoma using Lipiodol as a carrier. SM-11355 was compared with cisplatin (CDDP) using an in vitro evaluation system capable of examining the release characteristics and the cytotoxicity of drugs suspended in Lipiodol. SM-11355 suspended in Lipiodol (SM-11355/Lipiodol) and CDDP suspended in Lipiodol (CDDP/Lipiodol) showed cytotoxic activity against rat ascites hepatoma AH-109A cells in a dose-dependent manner. Their IC50 values following 7-day exposure were 22.3 and 0.40 microg/ml, respectively. Following the subsequent 7-day exposure, from day 7 to day 14 after preparation of the suspension, SM-11355/Lipiodol showed an almost equivalent activity, but CDDP/Lipiodol did not show any activity at all. SM-11355/Lipiodol showed a sustained release into the culture medium over the course of a 14-day exposure. Following the exposure to CDDP/Lipiodol, the platinum concentration in the medium was at its maximum on the first day and remained constant thereafter. Intracellular platinum uptake and formation of platinum-DNA adducts were dependent on the release characteristics of each drug suspension. For SM-11355/Lipiodol, the drug release, intracellular drug uptake, and formation of platinum-DNA adducts over the course of the subsequent 7-day exposure were similar to those observed during the first 7 days. DPC, one of the compounds released from SM-11355/Lipiodol, was taken up by cells and showed formation of platinum-DNA adducts. Thus, this study suggests that SM-11355/Lipiodol may release active platinum compound(s) that bind to nuclear DNA and mediate the cytotoxic activity of SM-11355/Lipiodol.

Abstract
The cellular pharmacology of two pairs of cis and trans platinum complexes has been studied in three human ovarian carcinoma cell lines, a parental relatively cisplatin-sensitive line (CH1), a subline possessing acquired cisplatin resistance (3-fold; CH1cisR) and an intrinsically cisplatin resistant line (13-fold; SKOV-3). Growth inhibition studies showed that both JM335 [trans ammine (cyclohexylaminedichloro dihydroxo) platinum(IV)] and its platinum(II) dichloro homolog JM334 were relatively less cross-resistant against both acquired and intrinsic cisplatin resistant cells. In contrast, resistance circumvention was not apparent in these cell lines with their cis isomeric counterparts (JM149 for JM335 and JM118 for JM334). The trans compound JM335 was more potent than its cis isomer against all three cell lines. There was no clear correlation between intracellular accumulation following 2 h exposure to each compound and resulting DNA platination or growth inhibition. The selective activity of the trans platinum complexes against the SKOV-3 cell line correlated with a deficiency in the repair of adducts within a fragment of the N-ras gene induced by trans compounds whereas adducts induced by the cis counterparts, and cisplatin, were repaired. The CH 1 parental line appeared repair deficient at the gene-specific level to adducts induced by both cis (including cisplatin) and trans compounds. Resistance in CH1cisR was associated with a lack of gene-specific repair of lesions formed by JM118 and JM149. All four compounds induced apoptosis in all three cell lines, as measured by fluorescent microscopy and field inverted gel electrophoresis, although the kinetics of apoptosis was markedly faster for the trans versus cis compounds. In summary, the trans platinum complexes JM335 and JM334 possess unique cellular properties compared to their cis counterparts particularly with respect to gene specific repair of DNA adducts and the rate of induction of apoptosis.

Abstract
The platinum complex trans-[PtCl2¿E-HN=C(OMe)Me¿2] was compared to cisplatin for cytotoxicity towards tumour cells, and for cellular pharmacological properties in A2780 and cisplatin-resistant A2780/Cp8 ovarian cancer cells. Trans-[PtCl2¿E-HN=C(OMe)Me¿2] was comparably cytotoxic to cisplatin (mean IC50 after 72 h exposure = 6. 1 microM and 7 microM, respectively) and did not show cross-resistance in A2780/Cp8 cells (resistance factor = 0.9). Cellular accumulation measurements after treatment with equimolar drug concentrations showed that trans-[PtCl2¿E-HN=C(OMe)Me¿2] entered both A2780 and A2780/Cp8 cells much more efficiently than cisplatin, whose accumulation was reduced in A2780/Cp8 cells. Unlike cisplatin, trans-[PtCl2¿E-HN=C(OMe)Me¿2] induced rapidly cell death and cell cycle modifications of treated cells, thus indicating substantially different mechanistic properties.

Abstract
Cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug, can be synthesized using radioactive platinum and then used for pharmacokinetic studies and tumor imaging. We have calculated the absorbed doses to various organs and tissues as well as the effective doses from 191Pt-, 193mPt- and 195mPt-cisplatin after administration to humans for diagnostic purposes. Liver was the organ that received the highest absorbed dose. The effective dose from 191Pt-, 193mPt- and 195mPt-cisplatin was 0.10 +/- 0.02, 0.17 +/- 0.04 and 0.23 +/- 0.05 mSv/MBq respectively.

Abstract
Multinuclear platinum compounds have been designed to circumvent the cellular resistance to conventional mononuclear platinum-based drugs. In this study we performed a comparative study of cisplatin and of the triplatinum complex BBR 3464 in a human osteosarcoma cell system (U2-OS) including an in vitro selected cisplatin-resistant subline (U2-OS/Pt). BBR 3464 was extremely potent in comparison with cisplatin in U2-OS cells and completely overcame resistance of U2-OS/Pt cells. In both cell lines, BBR 3464 accumulation and DNA-bound platinum were higher than those observed for cisplatin. On the contrary, a low frequency of interstrand cross-links after exposure to BBR 3464 was found. Differently from the increase of DNA lesions induced by cisplatin, kinetics studies indicated a low persistence of interstrand cross-link formation for BBR 3464. Western blot analysis of DNA mismatch repair proteins revealed a marked decrease of expression of PMS2 in U2-OS/Pt cells, which also exhibited microsatellite instability. Studies on DNA mismatch repair deficient and proficient colon carcinoma cells were consistent with a lack of influence of the DNA mismatch repair status on BBR 3464 cytotoxicity. In conclusion, the cytotoxic potency and the ability of the triplatinum complex to overcome cisplatin resistance appear to be related to a different mechanism of DNA interaction (formation of different types of drug-induced DNA lesions) as compared to conventional mononuclear complexes.

Abstract
Platinum has been increasing in the environment as a result of emissions from catalytic converters. The platinum emitted is principally located in the vicinity of roads but might be transported to urban rivers through highway and urban run-off water. Platinum concentrations in the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus were measured for two urban rivers and a stormwater detention pond. Concentrations ranged from 0.04 to 12.4 micrograms g-1 for direct analysis and from 0.16 to 4.5 micrograms g-1 after depuration. Analyses of water, pore water and sediments indicate that platinum in urban rivers is mostly found in the sediments and these provide the major contribution of platinum to Asellus aquaticus. Exposure experiments showed the importance of platinum speciation for uptake.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate how normal head and neck epithelial cells (NHNEC) respond to cisplatin compared to their neoplastic counterparts with respect to intracellular platinum (Pt) levels and growth inhibition. A colorimetric assay was used to assess growth inhibition after exposure to cisplatin for 72 h. Growth inhibition did not differ between cultures of neoplastic (n = 5) and normal cells (n = 5). Intracellular Pt levels, determined with atomic absorption spectroscopy were about 30-fold higher in the normal epithelial cells. The main finding of this study is that normal epithelial cells from the head and neck region have a much higher tolerance for cisplatin than their neoplastic counterparts. Interestingly, this characteristic is without consequence for growth inhibition.

Abstract
Automobile exhaust catalytic converters emit fine dispersed elemental platinum, Pt (0), in the nanometer range coated on larger aluminium oxide carrier particles. A pre-requisite for a potential systemic toxic effect of the emitted platinum is its bioavailability which was investigated using laboratory animals. To this end, a model substance was synthesised which consisted of aluminium oxide particles < or = 5 microns onto which platinum particles > or = 4 nm were deposited by a calcination process. These particles closely resemble those emitted from automobile exhaust converters. This model substance was applied to female Lewis rats in two doses by intratracheal instillation; the animals were killed after 1, 7, 28 and 90 days. In addition, the model substance was also applied during a 90-day inhalation study. After microwave digestion of the tissues, the platinum was determined in all organs and body fluids by inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP/MS). Platinum was found in the blood, urine and faeces and all important organs (liver, spleen, kidneys, adrenals, stomach, femur). Based on the platinum content determined in the body fluids and all organs (except the lung and the faeces) it was calculated that up to 16% of the platinum was retained in the lung 1 day after intratracheal instillation and up to 30% of the fine dispersed platinum deposited on an average during 90 days inhalation in the lung was bioavailable. Using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) in combination with ICP/MS, it was shown that > or = 90% of the bioavailable platinum was bound to high molecular weight compounds (approximately 80-800 kDa), most likely proteins.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate both the existence of enterohepatic circulation of cisplatin-cholylglycinate complex, Bamet-R2, and the relevance of biliary versus urinary excretion of this compound. Two experimental models were used: (i) intraluminal perfusion of 'in situ' ileum in anaesthetized rats bearing a biliary catheter that permitted bile sample collection and (ii) conscious rats in which a permanent intraarterial catheter had been implanted to carry out sequential blood sampling after intravenous (i.v.) or intragastric (i.g.) drug administration. Total platinum in serum, bile, ileum, liver, urine and feces was measured by flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy. Serum concentration versus time curves obtained after i.v. administration of 1 micromol Bamet-R2 or cisplatin revealed that the area under the curve was significantly higher for Bamet-R2 than for cisplatin (+48%). Non-ultrafiltrable platinum accounted for 54.8 and 48.4% of serum platinum 168 h after cisplatin and Bamet-R2 i.v. administration, respectively. When the animals received i.g. 1 micromol cisplatin or Bamet-R2, serum concentrations of total platinum were markedly higher (three-fold) after Bamet-R2 than after cisplatin administration. The area under the curve was, also in this case, significantly higher for Bamet-R2 than for cisplatin (+28%). This was in part due to the enhanced intestinal absorption of Bamet-R2, as confirmed in experiments on perfused rat ileum, where a markedly higher amount of the drug was found in ileum tissue and bile after perfusion with media containing Bamet-R2 as compared with experiments where cisplatin instead of Bamet-R2 was added to perfusion media. Moreover, after i.v. administration to conscious rats, excretion of Bamet-R2 by the kidney was three-fold lower than that of cisplatin, while elimination of the former compound into feces was four-fold higher than that of the latter. In summary, these results indicate that in addition to the previously reported cytostatic activity of Bamet-R2, this complex has interesting cholephilic characteristics typical of bile acids, such as low urinary excretion together with enhanced intestinal absorption and biliary secretion, probably endowed by the cholylglycyl moiety included in the Bamet-R2 molecule.

Abstract
In vivo measurements of platinum are important for studying the pharmacokinetics of platinum-based cytotoxic drugs. The technique of in vivo X-ray fluorescence can be utilized for such measurements. The feasibility of using 133Xe in near-backscatter (almost 180 degrees ) geometry has been investigated and results compared to phantom measurements made using 99Tcm in the same experimental set-up. An improvement in minimum detection limits is observed for all phantom depths less than 25 mm.

Abstract
This study evaluated the performance of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for the determination of platinum (Pt) in rat dorsal root ganglion. The method detection limit was found to be 0.008 ng/mL of Pt, which corresponds to 4 pg of Pt per milligram of ganglia. The standard deviations in the tissue matrix were 5.7% or better and minimum matrix effect was observed. Compared to indium, the use of iridium or a combination of iridium and bismuth as internal standard(s) provided more accurate measurement. The Pt in the tissue digestate was stable for a minimum of 46 d at levels above 0.05 ng/mL. Flow injection analysis using undiluted digestates resulted in approximately 20% signal enhancement. Internal standard correction was necessary to obtain accurate results. The method was used in initial studies in which rats were dosed with cisplatin and has shown that Pt accumulates and persists in dorsal rat ganglion following treatment.

Abstract
A model substance was used which is similar in respect to platinum content of exhaust particles emitted from a three-way-catalytic converter equipped engine. The bioavailability of platinum from such exhaust particles and the kind of platinum species formed in vivo were assessed. An in vitro solubility test showed a solubility of approximately 10 percent of platinum content of the model substance in physiological sodium chloride solution. Two short-term animal studies (8 days) were performed. In all examined rat tissues and body fluids platinum could be detected. In addition, the contribution of the overall bioavailability caused by swallowing a certain amount of the intratracheally applied platinum was evaluated by oral application. It was very low. An analytical method was developed to determine platinum species. Synthetic samples (matrix with a platinum standard solution) were analysed. In rat bronchoalveolar lavage spiked with a platinum standard solution only low molecular complexed platinum was found whereas in rat blood plasma all platinum was bound to proteins. In ongoing studies, the model substance is being tested in a three month rat inhalation study.

Abstract
Two cultivation experiments were carried out in order to answer the question to what extent platinum can enter the food chain by accumulation in plants, when the platinum is present in a bio-available form: (i) cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus) were grown hydroponically in nutrient solutions containing [Pt(NH3)4](NO3)2 (from 0.5 to 50 micrograms Pt/l solution); and (ii) a water-soluble platinum compound--[Pt(NH3)4](NO3)2--was added in increasing amounts to a sandy loam soil (from 0.5 to 50 mg Pt/kg soil) and rye grass (Lolium perenne) was grown on it. The roots on the one hand and the green plant fractions in the other hand of the cucumber plants and the rye grass were digested using a high-pressure asher. The platinum concentration was determined by means of a quadrupole-based (VG PQ I) or a double focusing sector field ICP-mass spectrometer (Finnigan MAT, Element), depending on the platinum concentration in the sample solution. The detection limit for platinum obtained with the VG PQ I was observed to be 6 ng/1, while with the 'Element' the detection limit could be improved to 0.5 ng/1 Pt. Accumulation factors were calculated as the ratio of the platinum concentration in the plant to that in the soil or the nutrient solution. The grass grown on spiked soil accumulated platinum only to a slight degree (accumulation factors between 0.008 and 0.032). The hydroponically grown cucumber plants, however, strongly accumulated it (accumulation factors of 11-42 in the shoot and 1700-2100 in the roots). There are three possible causes for the large differences in the accumulation factors: (i) Cucumber plants are dicotyledons; grass, however, is a monocotyledon. Other cultivation experiments already showed that dicotyledons accumulate metals to a higher extent than monocotyledons. (ii) In the grass cultivation experiment, the platinum compound was only added once to the sandy loam soil, namely 2 days before grass was cultivated on it. The nutrient solutions of the cucumber plants were changed twice a week. Consequently, the total amount of platinum that the plants were exposed to during the cultivation of the cucumber plants was higher than during the cultivation of the grass. (iii) Immobilization of the platinum compound in the soil most likely occurred.
