Cisplatin (CDDP) is a very active and cytotoxic agent but causes severe side effects, namely nephrotoxicity, which limits the therapy. The present study aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity of long-circulating and pH-sensitive liposomes containing cisplatin (SpHL-CDDP), as compared to free CDDP, after their intravenous administration in mice. After the administration of free CDDP or SpHL-CDDP at different doses, the body weight was recorded and the LD50 and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) were calculated. Blood samples were collected for hematological and biochemical analysis. Kidneys, liver, spleen, and bone marrow were removed for histopathological examination. A reduction of body weight of less than 15% could be observed in male and female mice after treatment with free CDDP and SpHL-CDDP at doses of
