Abstract

The concentration of free cisplatin was followed in plasma, scala tympani perilymph and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after an intravenous injection (12.5 mg/kg) in guinea pigs. Liquid chromatography with postcolumn derivatization was used for quantitative determination of the drug. The distribution of cisplatin to CSF was fast; at 10 min after drug administration the concentration was 7 μg/ml and the CSF:plasma ratio was 0.37. Cisplatin seems to distribute more slowly to the perilymphatic compartment. The highest concentration measured was 4 μg/ml at 20 min after the injection, and the perilymph:plasma ratio was 0.40 at that time. The concentration-time curves generated for cisplatin in perilymph and CSF were similar. No accumulation in the perilymphatic compartment or CSF was observed.
