We prepared chitin-containing cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP) albumin microspheres with various particle sizes, and investigated in vitro CDDP release ; the antitumor effect towards VX_2 tumor introduced into rabbits was then examined. It was found that the rate of release of CDDP from chitin-containing CDDP albumin microspheres in vitro was increased with reduced particle size. Administration of microspheres to VX_2 tumor-bearing rabbits via the hepatic artery resulted in different profiles of plasma platinum concentration depending on the particle size, and a higher concentration of platinum was released from the beginning of administration as particle size was reduced. The platinum content in hepatic tissue following the administration of CDDP microspheres was increased as the particle size decreased, although the rate of increase was not uniform. The antitumor effect of CDDP assessed by the suppression of tumor growth tended to be higher when microspheres of smaller sizes were used. However, no significant difference was observed in tumor growth rate between rabbits injected with microspheres smaller than 20 μm and those injected with sizes between 20 and 37μm (p>0.05). We also examined the relationship between the CDDP dose and antitumor effect using microspheres of less than 20 μm and observed a dose-dependent antitumor effect. No significant difference was observed, however, between 2 and 4 mg eq CDDP/kg dose levels (p>0.05). From these results, we concluded that microsphere size and CDDP dose were strongly correlated with the augmentation of antitumor effect of chitin-containing CDDP albumin microspheres used in chemo-embolization therapy via the hepatic artery.
