Overview

Miriplatin is a novel lipophilic platinum complex developed for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is specifically designed for use in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), where it is suspended in lipiodol and administered intra-arterially to target liver tumors. The drug acts as a DNA cross-linking agent and DNA synthesis inhibitor, similar to other platinum-based chemotherapeutics. Miriplatin was approved by Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in 2009 and marketed under the brand name Miripla by Sumitomo Pharma. Its high lipid solubility allows for selective retention within hepatic tumors when delivered via TACE, maximizing local antitumor effects while minimizing systemic toxicity[1][3][4][9].
