Effect of selenite on renal toxicity and antitumor activity of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum in mice inoculated with Ehrlich ascites tumor cell. 1984

A Naganuma, and M Satoh, and N Imura

Effect of sodium selenite on renal toxicity and antitumor activity of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (Cisplatin; CDDP) repeatedly administered to mice inoculated with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells were examined. Simultaneous repeated administration of selenite with CDDP markedly improved the growth depression, the renal toxicity indicated by blood urea nitrogen value and the diarrhea caused by CDDP, and inhibited the growth of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells cooperatively with CDDP. This results suggest that selenium compounds are useful for prevention of the toxic side effects of CDDP.

D007674	Kidney Diseases	Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues.	Disease, Kidney,Diseases, Kidney,Kidney Disease
D001835	Body Weight	The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.	Body Weights,Weight, Body,Weights, Body
D002286	Carcinoma, Ehrlich Tumor	A transplantable, poorly differentiated malignant tumor which appeared originally as a spontaneous breast carcinoma in a mouse. It grows in both solid and ascitic forms.	Ehrlich Ascites Tumor,Ascites Tumor, Ehrlich,Ehrlich Tumor Carcinoma,Tumor, Ehrlich Ascites
D002945	Cisplatin	An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.	Platinum Diamminodichloride,cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II),cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(II),Biocisplatinum,Dichlorodiammineplatinum,NSC-119875,Platidiam,Platino,Platinol,cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum,cis-Platinum,Diamminodichloride, Platinum,cis Diamminedichloroplatinum,cis Platinum
D003967	Diarrhea	An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.	Diarrheas
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012643	Selenium	An element with the atomic symbol Se, atomic number 34, and atomic weight 78.97. It is an essential micronutrient for mammals and other animals but is toxic in large amounts. Selenium protects intracellular structures against oxidative damage. It is an essential component of GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE.	Selenium-80,Selenium 80
D051379	Mice	The common name for the genus Mus.	Mice, House,Mus,Mus musculus,Mice, Laboratory,Mouse,Mouse, House,Mouse, Laboratory,Mouse, Swiss,Mus domesticus,Mus musculus domesticus,Swiss Mice,House Mice,House Mouse,Laboratory Mice,Laboratory Mouse,Mice, Swiss,Swiss Mouse,domesticus, Mus musculus
D020887	Selenious Acid	A selenium compound with the molecular formula H2SO3. It used as a source of SELENIUM, especially for patients that develop selenium deficiency following prolonged PARENTERAL NUTRITION.	Selenite,Selenous Acid,Acid, Selenious,Acid, Selenous
