[Fundamental studies on intravesical instillation of carboquone for treatment of urinary bladder tumors--on the effects of intravesical instillation of carboquone in normal beagle dogs].

Abstract

The effects of intravesical instillation of Carboquone at the clinically used doses of 5 and 10 mg on the normal mucosa of female beagle dogs was compared with that of 10 mg Mitomycin C used as the control drug. Intravesical instillation for 48 hours of 10 mg carboquone/20 ml phosphate buffer solution (PBS) after bilateral cutaneous uretrostomies produced severe inflammatory changes in all layers of the bladder wall. However, no secondary effects were observed in blood laboratory examinations or histological examinations of the whole organ after autopsy. Phosphate buffer solution produced no remarkable secondary effects in animals. Five milligrams carboquone per 20 ml PBS was instilled intravesically once a week for 3 weeks in normal animals. Cystoscopically , the bladder mucosa recovered normally. Blood laboratory examinations showed no abnormal results, but the bladder epithelium had regenerative epithelial hyperplasia and slightly inflammatory changes in the submucosal layers. Two of the three control animals given instillation of 10 mg of Mitomycin C/20 ml PBS had slight leucopenia at 7 days after the last intravesical instillation, but leucocyte count was normal at the end of the experiment. Cystoscopic and histological examination of the epithelium of the urinary bladder revealed severe inflammatory changes in 2 of the 3 animals.
