Emesis after the administration of cisplatin is a severe complication, and its treatment is an important problem clinically. Cisplatin forces the release of serotonin (5-HT) from enterochromaffin cells in the mucosa, and emesis occurs by the stimulation of 5-HT3 receptors. In this study, we established a simple and simultaneous method of determining 5-HT and its main metabolite, 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA), in plasma and urine by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD), and determined the disposition of endogenous 5-HT and 5-HIAA after the administration of cisplatin in rats and dogs. In rats, we found no change in the plasma concentration of 5-HIAA after cisplatin administration, while a distinct increase was shown in the plasma concentration of 5-HT, but it was not significantly different from that of the control rats. The urinary excretion of 5-HIAA was also not different between the two groups. In dogs, we observed intense vomiting in all cisplatin treated dogs. However, we could not detect any change in the 5-HIAA or 5-HT level in the dog plasma. Furthermore, no significant difference in the urinary excretion of 5-HIAA was observed between the cisplatin group and the controls. From these results, the plasma concentration of 5-HT and the urinary excretion of 5-HIAA may not be suitable markers for the evaluation of emesis induced by anticancer drugs in dogs.
