Systemic exposure of the parent drug oxaliplatin during hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion

• Objective To evaluate the perfusate and systemic kinetics of oxaliplatin during hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) using a selective analytical technique. Methods HIPEC was carried out in eight patients by the open abdomen coliseum technique for 30 min at 41.5-43 degrees C with an average of 427 mg/m(2) of oxaliplatin in 5% dextrose solution. Blood and perfusate samples were collected during the perfusion. Additional blood samples were taken up to 2 h after the end of perfusion. The analysis was performed by liquid chromatography and post-column derivatization with N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate using microwave heating. Results The mean elimination half-life of oxaliplatin in the perfusate was 29.5 min (range 21.1-41.2 min) and in the peripheral circulation 24.7 min (range 21.7-27.7 min). The ratio of the areas under the time concentration curve in perfusate and blood was 12.8 +/- 2.9. Conclusion The systemic exposure of oxaliplatin measured after HIPEC using a selective analytical technique is considerably lower than previously reported results obtained by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
