Cumulative dose-related, chronic cardiotoxicity is a serious clinical complication of anthracycline therapy. Clinical and animal studies have demonstrated that continuous infusion, compared to bolus injection of doxorubicin, decreases the risk of cardiotoxicity. Continuous infusion of doxorubicin may result in decreased cardiac tissue concentrations of anthracyclines, including the primary metabolite doxorubicinol, which may also be an important contributor to cardiotoxicity. In this study, doxorubicin and doxorubicinol plasma pharmacokinetics and tissue concentrations were compared in New Zealand white rabbits following intravenous administration of doxorubicin (5 mg·kg–1) by bolus and continuous infusion. Blood samples were obtained over a 72-h period after doxorubicin administration to determine plasma doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentrations. Rabbits were killed 7 days after the completion of doxorubicin administration and tissue concentrations of doxorubicin and doxorubicinol in heart, kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle were measured. In further experiments, rabbits were killed 1 h after bolus injection of doxorubicin and at the completion of a 24-h doxorubicin infusion (anticipated times of maximum heart anthracycline concentrations) to compare cardiac concentrations of doxorubicin and doxorubicinol following both methods of administration. Peak plasma concentrations of doxorubicin (1739±265 vs 100±10 ng·ml–1) and doxorubicinol (78±3 vs 16±3 ng·ml–1) were significantly higher following bolus than infusion dosing. In addition, elimination half-life of doxorubicinol was increased following infusion. However, other plasma pharmacokinetic parameters for doxorubicin and doxorubicinol, including AUC, were similar following both methods of doxorubicin administration. Peak left ventricular tissue concentrations of doxorubicin (16.92±0.9 vs 3.59±0.72 g·g–1 tissue;P<0.001) and doxorubicinol (0.24±0.02 vs 0.09±0.01 g·g–1 tissue;P<0.01) following bolus injection of doxorubicin were significantly higher than those following infusion administration. Tissue concentrations of parent drug and metabolite in bolus and infusion groups were similar 7 days after dosing. The results suggest that cardioprotection following doxorubicin infusion may be related to attenuation of the peak plasma or cardiac concentrations of doxorubicin and/or doxorubicinol.  相似文献

Summary Cimetidine is an H2 antagonist which inhibits cytochrome P-450 and reduces hepatic blood flow. To determine whether cimetidine interferes with the plasma pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin, we gave six female New Zealand rabbits doxorubicin 3 mg/kg, followed a month later by cimetidine 120 mg/kg every 12 h over 72 h and doxorubicin 3 mg/kg. Serial plasma specimens were obtained over 72 h and assayed for doxorubicin and its metabolites by high-performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection.Doxorubicin plasma pharmacokinetics were prolonged after cimetidine pretreatment [AUC 0.76±0.22 vs. 2.85±1.22 M×h, no pretreatment vs pretreatment (p=0.005), half-life=11.7±6.55 vs 28.0±8.16 h (P=0.0002), and clearance=0.129±0.036 vs 0.036±0.0111/min-1 kg-1 (P=0.0007)]. No significant differences were found between the AUCs for doxorubicinol, 7-deoxy doxorubicinol aglycone, or two unidentified nonpolar metabolites in nonpretreatment and pretreatment studies. Cimetidine increases and prolongs the plasma exposure to doxorubicin in rabbits. Doxorubicin metabolism does not appear to be affected by cimetidine.Grant Support Veterans Administration, NIH Grant RR-05424 and Clinical Research Center Grant RR-00095 American Cancer Society Institutional Grants #IN25V and IN24V, and JFCF #649  相似文献

Summary Doxorubicin is metabolized extensively to doxorubicinol by the ubiquitous aldoketoreductase enzymes. The extent of conversion to this alcohol metabolite is important since doxorubicinol may be the major contributor to cardiotoxicity. Aldoketoreductases are inhibited in vitro by phenytoin. The present study was conducted to examine the effect of phenytoin on doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. Doxorubicin single-dose pharmacokinetic studies were performed in 10 New Zealand White rabbits after pretreatment with phenytoin or phenytoin vehicle (control) infusions in crossover fashion with 4–6 weeks between studies. Infusions were commenced 16 h before and during the course of the doxorubicin pharmacokinetic studies. Phenytoin infusion was guided by plasma phenytoin estimation to maintain total plasma concentrations between 20 and 30 g/ml. Following doxorubicin 5 mg/kg by i.v. bolus, blood samples were obtained at intervals over 32 h. Plasma doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentrations were measured by HPLC. The mean plasma phenytoin concentrations ranged from 17.4 to 33.9 g/ml. Phenytoin infusion did not alter doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. The elimination half-life and volume of distribution were almost identical to control. Clearance of doxorubicin during phenytoin administration (60.9±5.8 ml/min per kg, mean±SE) was similar to that during vehicle infusion (67.5±5.4 ml/min per kg). Phenytoin administration was associated with a significant decrease in doxorubicinol elimination half-life from 41.0±4.8 to 25.6±2.8 h. The area under the plasma concentration/time curve (AUC) for doxorubicinol decreased significantly from 666.8±100.4 to 491.5±65.7 n.h.ml-1. These data suggest that phenytoin at clinically relevant concentrations does not alter the conversion of doxorubicin to doxorubicinol in the rabbit. The reduction in the AUC for doxorubicinol caused by phenytoin appears to be due to an increased rate of doxorubicinol elimination. Phenytoin or similar agents may have the effect of modifying doxorubicinol plasma concentrations by induction of doxorubicinol metabolism rather than by inhibition of aldoketoreductase enzymes.  相似文献

Colchicine and doxorubicin are secreted into bile as a major pathway of their elimination. Colchicine and doxorubicin are also substrates for P-glycoprotein, and P-glycoprotein has been demonstrated to be present at the liver canalicular membrane. Cyclosporin (CsA) inhibits colchicine biliary secretion in vivo. In the present study, the effects of SDZ PSC-833, a nonimmunosuppressive cyclosporin D analog, on the biliary secretion of colchicine and doxorubicin were investigated. SDZ PSC-833 given at a bolus dose of 2 mg/kg promptly decreased colchicine biliary clearance from 9.05±0.2 to 2.41±0.43 ml min–1 kg–1 (P<0.001) and the colchicine bile/plasma ratio from 146±8 to 35±5 (P<0.001). SDZ PSC-833 also inhibited doxorubicin biliary clearance (basal: 10.5±3 vs post-SDZ PSC-833: 2.48±0.94 ml min–1 kg–1;P=0.06) and the doxorubicin bile/plasma ratio (basal: 228±64 vs post-SDZ PSC-833: 48±22;P<0.01). Colchicine renal secretion was completely inhibited by SDZ PSC-833. Thus, SDZ PSC-833 inhibits the constitutive transport of the multidrug-resistance substrates colchicine and doxorubicin and is more potent than cyclosporin in this regard. The possibility of increased toxicity to normal tissues because of impaired elimination of cytotoxic agents will need to be considered if SDZ PSC-833 is used to chemosensitize cancer cells.This work was supported in part by the Research Service, Department of Veterans Affairs  相似文献

Background: Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PL-DOX) has been shown in preclinical models to induce less cardiotoxicity than non-liposomal doxorubicin. Endomyocardial biopsy is a highly sensitive and specific method for detecting anthracycline-induced cardiac damage.Patients and methods: Myocardial tissue from ten KS patients who had received cumulative PL-DOX (20 mg/m2/biweekly) of 440–840 mg/m2 was evaluated for evidence of anthracycline-induced cardiac damage. Controls were assembled from patients who had received cumulative doxorubicin doses of 174–671 mg/m2 in two earlier cardiac biopsy protocols. Two control groups were selected on the basis of both cumulative (±10 mg/m2) and peak doxorubicin dose (60 or 20 mg/m2, control group 1), or peak dose alone (20 mg/m2, control group 2).Results: PL-DOX patients had significantly lower biopsy scores compared with those of doxorubicin controls despite higher cumulative doses of anthracycline. The median biopsy scores for the PL-DOX and doxorubicin groups, respectively, were 0.3 vs. 3.0 (P = 0.002, Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel row mean difference test) for group 1 and 1.25 for group 2 (P < 0.001, Wilcoxon rank-sum test).Conclusions: Less severe cardiac changes were seen in patients given PL-DOX relative to historical control patients given comparable cumulative doses of doxorubicin.  相似文献

Summary The influence of ranitidine on the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of doxorubicin was studied in six female New Zealand white rabbits. Plasma pharmacokinetic data were first obtained from rabbits given 3 mg/kg doxorubicin. After 1 month, the same rabbits were treated with ranitidine, 2.5 mg/kg or 25 mg/kg, before and during doxorubicin administration. The plasma doxorubicin assays to determine pharmacokinetic parameters were repeated. Drug toxicity was evaluated using complete blood counts, and hepatic function was measured using a 14C-aminopyrine breath test. High-dose ranitidine increased the total exposure to doxorubicin (area under the curve of doxorubicin alone =1.44±0.88 M·h/ml vs 4.49±2.35 M·hr/ml for doxorubicin given with high-dose ranitidine; P=0.06). Low-dose ranitidine did not alter doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. Exposure to doxorubicinol was altered by either high-dose or low-dose ranitidine. 14C-Aminopyrine half-life was altered by a raniditine dose of 25 mg/kg (aminopyrine half-life after placebo control =97±6 min as against aminopyrine half-life after ranitidine =121±7 min; mean±SEM; P<0.02). Low-dose ranitidine did not exacerbate doxorubicin-induced myelosuppression. High-dose ranitidine enhanced doxorubicin-induced erythroid suppression while sparing the myeloid series. At cytochrome P-450-inhibitory doses, ranitidine's effects upon doxorubicin plasma pharmacokinetics are similar to those previously seen with cimetidine. These changes did not appear to alter drug detoxification and are not related to microsomal inhibition of doxorubicin detoxification. Low doses of ranitidine do not alter doxorubicin plasma pharmacokinetics or toxicity in rabbits.Grant support: Glaxo Inc., Veterans Administration, NIH BRSG RR-05424, NIH Grant RR-00095, Clinical Research Center.

We studied the variability in doxorubicin pharmacokinetics in 27 patients, all of whom had normal liver biochemistry tests. Blood samples were collected after the first cycle of single-agent doxorubicin given as an i.v. bolus and plasma levels were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The relationship of doxorubicin clearance (dose/AUC) with biochemical tests (AST, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, creatinine) and physical characteristics (age, gender, height, weight, tumour type) was investigated. The 6 men had a significantly higher doxorubicin clearance than did the 21 women (median values, 59 and 27 lh–1 m–2, respectively;P=0.002). Doxorubicin clearance was significantly lower in patients with breast cancer than in those with other tumours (median values, 26 and 53 lh–1 m–2, respectively;P=0.0008). The other biochemical and physical parameters did not correlate with doxorubicin clearance. However, in multivariate analysis, gender was the only factor predicting doxorubicin clearance (r 2=40%). The ratio of the AUCs for doxorubicinol and doxorubicin (R) was higher in the men than in the women (median values, 0.62 and 0.36, respectively;P=0.03). We conclude that gender may be an important determinant of doxorubicin clearance in patients with normal liver biochemistry.  相似文献

Summary The influence of dexrazoxane on doxorubicin pharmacokinetics was investigated in four dogs using the two treatment sequences of saline/doxorubicin or dexrazoxane/doxorubicin. Intravenous doses of 1.5 mg/kg doxorubicin and 30 mg/kg (the 20-fold multiple) dexrazoxane were given separately, with doxorubicin being injected within 1 min of the dexrazoxane dose. Both doxorubicin and its 13-dihydro metabolite doxorubicinol were quantified in plasma and urine using a validated high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) fluorescence assay. The doxorubicin plasma concentration versus time data were adequately fit by a three-compartment model. The mean half-lives calculated for the fast and slow distributive and terminal elimination phases in the saline/doxorubicin group were 3.0±0.5 and 32.2±12.8 min and 30.0±4.0 h, respectively. The model-predicted plasma concentrations were virtually identical for the saline and dexrazoxane treatment groups. Analysis of variance of the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0–), terminal elimination rate (Z), systemic clearance (CL s), and renal clearance (CL r) for the parent drug showed no statistically significant difference (P<0.05) between the two treatments. Furthermore, the doxorubicinol plasma AUC0– value and the doxorubicinol-to-doxorubicin AUC0– ratio showed no significant difference, demonstrating that dexrazoxane had no effect on the metabolic capacity for formation of the 13-dihydro metabolite. The total urinary excretion measured as parent drug plus doxorubicinol and the metabolite-to-parent ratio in urine were also unaffected by the presence of dexrazoxane. The myelosuppressive effects of doxorubicin as determined by WBC monitoring revealed no apparent difference between the two treatments. In conclusion, these results show that drug exposure was similar for the two treatment arms. No kinetic interaction with dexrazoxane suggests that its coadministration is unlikely to modify the safety and/or efficacy of doxorubicin.  相似文献

PURPOSE: Although dexrazoxane (ICRF-187) is used clinically to protect against doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, the age-related effect of dexrazoxane on doxorubicin pharmacokinetics has not been well studied. METHODS: We therefore examined the effect of pretreatment with dexrazoxane (50 mg kg(-1) i.p. 1 h prior to administration of doxorubicin 2 mg kg(-1) i.v. bolus) on doxorubicin and doxorubicinol pharmacokinetics in Fischer 344 rats at 5 months of age (young adult) and 22 months of age (old). RESULTS: Dexrazoxane had no major effects on doxorubicin or doxorubicinol pharmacokinetics in plasma or heart in either young or old rats. However, age had significant effects on anthracycline pharmacokinetics. Early plasma concentrations were increased and systemic clearance of doxorubicin was decreased in old compared with young rats. Cardiac concentrations of doxorubicin (AUC) were significantly increased in old rats. In addition cardiac doxorubicinol concentrations (AUC 0-72 h) were increased by over 80% in old compared to young rats. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that dexrazoxane does not alter doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. In contrast, aging in the rat model is associated with altered doxorubicin and doxorubicinol pharmacokinetics, in particular in the heart. These changes could increase the risk of anthracycline cardiotoxicity with age.  相似文献

Total and unbound etoposide pharmacokinetics were studied in 16 adult patients (median age, 34 years; range, 18–61 years) undergoing autologous bone marrow transplantation for advanced lymphoma after receiving high-dose etoposide (35–60 mg/kg) as a single intravenous infusion. Pretreatment values for mean serum albumin and total bilirubin were 3.0±0.4 g/dl and 0.5±0.4 mg/dl, respectively. Etoposide plasma concentrations and protein binding (% unbound) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and equilibrium dialysis, respectively. Pharmacokinetic parameters for unbound and total etoposide were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis using a two-compartment model. Te mean (±SD) parameters for total etoposide included: clearance (CL), 31.8±17.7 ml min–1 m–2; volume of distribution (Vss), 11.5±5.9 l/m2, and terminal half-life (t 1/2 ), 7.2±3.7 h. Mean unbound CL was 209.6±62.7 ml min–1 m–2 and %unbound was 16%±5%. The mean etoposide %unbound was inversely related to serum albumin (r 2=0.45,P=0.0043). The mean %unbound at the end of the etoposide infusion was higher than that at the lowest measured concentration (21% vs 13%, respectively;P=0.017), suggesting that concentration-dependent binding may occur after high etoposide doses. The median total CL was higher in patients with serum albumin concentrations of 3.0 g/dl than in those with levels of >3.0 g/dl (34.6 vs 23.5 ml min–1 m–2,P=0.05). Total CL was directly related to %unbound (r 2=0.61,P=0.0004). Unbound CL was unrelated to either serum albumin or %unbound. These results demonstrate that hypoalbuminemia is independently associated with an increased etoposide %unbound and rapid total CL after the administration of high-dose etoposide. Unbound CL in hypoalbuminemic patients is unchanged in the presence of normal total bilirubin values.This study was supported in part by Bristol-Myers. Oncology Division  相似文献

Summary Six female rabbits were given 20 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (containing 100 Ci [3H-chloroethyl]-cyclophosphamide) alone or 1 h following 100 mg/kg cimetidine. Serial plasma and urine specimens were collected and levels of cyclophosphamide and its metabolites (4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, 4-ketocyclophosphamide, phosphoramide mustard, and carboxyphosphamide) were measured. 4-Ketocyclophosphamide was the major metabolite present in rabbit plasma and urine, with lesser amounts of 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, carboxyphosphamide, and phosphoramide mustard also being identified. Cimetidine pretreatment resulted in prolongation of cyclophosphamide's half-life from 24.3±7.3 to 33.5±9.5 min (mean ± SD;P=0.036) but did not significantly alter the AUC0–8 h for the latter drug. Cimetidine pretreatment resulted in a significantly greater AUC0–8 h for 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (189.4±77 vs 364.6±126.7 mol min/l–1;P=0.016) as compared with control values. A higher AUC0–8 h value for phosphoramide mustard (53.7±69.2 vs 95.7±34.7 mol min/l–1) was also observed after cimetidine dosing but the difference was not significant (P=0.21). Kinetics of 4-ketocyclophosphamide and carboxyphosphamide were not significantly affected by cimetidine treatment. Cimetidine was added to hepatic microsomes isolated from phenobarbital-treated rabbits; it did not inhibit cyclophosphamide's metabolism in vitro, suggesting that its in vivo effect may be mediated through mechanisms other than cytochrome P-450 inhibition. Cimetidine pretreatment increases exposure to cyclophosphamide and its major activated metabolite, 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide. Potentiation rather than inhibition of cyclophosphamide's pharmacodynamic effect is to be predicted when cimetidine is given concomitantly with the former. Alterations in hepatic blood flow or mechanisms other than microsomal inhibition by cimetidine may explain this potentiation.Supported in part by the Department of Veteran Affairs and grant CA-49186 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, Guangzhou, People's Republic of China  相似文献

Recent evidence suggests that 13-hydroxy metabolites of anthracyclines may contribute to cardiotoxicity. This study was designed to determine the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin and the 13-hydroxy metabolite daunorubicinol in plasma and tissues, including the heart. Fisher 344 rats received 5 mg kg–1 daunorubicin i.v. by bolus injection. Rats were killed at selected intervals for up to 1 week after daunorubicin administration for determination of concentrations of daunorubicin and daunorubicinol in the plasma, heart, liver, kidney, lung, and skeletal muscle. Peak concentrations of daunorubicin were higher than those of daunorubicinol in the plasma (133±7 versus 36±2 ng ml–1;P<0.05), heart (15.2±1.4 versus 3.4±0.4 g g–1;P<0.05), and other tissues. However, the apparent elimination half-life of daunorubicinol was longer than that of daunorubicin in most tissues, including the plasma (23.1 versus 14.5 h) and heart (38.5 versus 19.3 h). In addition, areas under the concentration/time curves (AUC) obtained for daunorubicinol exceeded those found for daunorubicin in almost all tissues, with the ratios being 1.9 in plasma and 1.7 in the heart. The ratio of daunorubicinol to daunorubicin concentrations increased dramatically with time from <1 at up to 1 h to 87 at 168 h in cardiac tissue. Thus, following daunorubicin injection, cumulative exposure (AUC) to daunorubicinol was greater than that to daunorubicin in the plasma and heart. If daunorubicinol has equivalent or greater potency than daunorubicin in causing impairment of myocardial function, it may make an important contribution to the pathogenesis of cardiotoxicity.  相似文献

Summary Kinetics of boron disposition after single intravenous injections of two different doses (25 and 50 mg/kg) of mercaptoundecahydrododecaborate sodium (Na2B12H11SH; BSH) was studied in rabbits. Residual boron concentrations in various organs and tissues (heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenals, and brain) were also determined after seven daily injections of the same doses of BSH. Boron blood and tissue concentrations were measured by atomic emission spectrometry. In the majority of animals, the decline of boron blood concentrations after a single intravenous injection of either dose was biphasic, being consistent with a two-compartment model of boron disposition in the body. Although mean boron blood concentrations were roughly proportional to the BSH dose delivered, the mean total body clearance of boron from the body was 3 times lower (6.5±1.9 ml min–1 kg–1) after a dose of 50 mg/kg than after the injection of 25 mg/kg (22.4±7.9 ml min–1 kg–1), the difference between the means being statistically significant (P<0.05). Moreover, the mean terminal half-life of boron in blood was prolonged after the injection of 50 mg/kg (14.5±5.5 h) as compared with that found after the 25-mg/kg dose (3.5±0.9 h). On the other hand, the different BSH doses did not result in marked differences in the mean values obtained for the volume parameters—the volume of the central compartment (1.3±0.4 vs 1.3±0.5 l kg–1) and the volume of distribution at steady state (4.7±1.3 vs 6.0±4.0 l kg–1)—both of which were high, indicating extensive binding of the compound not only in the blood but also in tissues. Residual concentrations of boron found after seven daily injections of both doses of BSH were highest in the kidneys, the difference in the mean values being relatively small (33.6±6.1 vs 39.0±10.7 g/g tissue). In the majority of other organs (heart, lung, liver, spleen, brain, adrenals), the residual concentrations after a dose of 50 mg/kg were disproportionately higher than those measured after the injection of 25 mg/kg, and the mean values corresponded to the reduced total body clearance rather than to the increased BSH dose. The saturability of BSH binding to blood and tissue proteins is suggested as a possible explanation for the dose dependency of the total clearance of boron from the body and the accumulation of BSH in organs and tissues.  相似文献

Summary We evaluated the pharmacokinetics of pirarubicin during 16 courses of therapy in 4 patients suffering from breast cancer who were treated with an association of pirarubicin (30–60 mg/m2 according to the hematologic tolerance to the previous course, the first course being given at a dose of 40 mg/m2) and continuous infusions of 5-fluorouracil (750 mg/m2 daily for 5 days). Pirarubicin's pharmacokinetics and metabolism were linear within this dose range; the metabolites identified were pirarubicinol, doxorubicin and doxorubicinol (AUC ratios of metabolite/pirarubicin were 0.6, 0.64 and 0.57 respectively). Pirarubicin's decay from plasma followed a twocompartmental pattern, showing half-lives of 15.6 min and 16.6 h: the total plasma clearance of the drug was 140 l/h–1/m–2, and the total volume of distribution was 2,830 l/m2. A relationship was observed between some pharmacokinetic parameters and the toxic effects of the drug: the percentage of survival of granulocytes was significantly correlated with the AUC values for doxorubicin and doxorubicinol, whereas that of platelets was significantly correlated with the AUC values for pirarubicin and pirarubicinol. This is the first study to demonstrate a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship for pirarubicin.  相似文献

Dexrazoxane (DEX) is used clinically to reduce doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Because DEX inhibits anthracycline-induced toxicity, we set out to investigate DEX's ability to reduce the incidence and severity of gastrointestinal toxicity associated with anthracycline administration in C3Hf/Kam mice. Doxorubicin and idarubicin, two commonly used anthracyclines, were each examined in combination with DEX. A jejunal crypt survival assay demonstrated that DEX increased crypt survival from 40% (doxorubicin 22.5 mg/kg) to 63% at a DEX/doxorubucin dose ratio of 10:1 (P<0.05). When doxorubicin was increased to a dose of 27.5 mg/kg, crypt survival increased from 18% to 40% at a DEX:Dox ratio of 5:1 (P<0.05). At ratios of 10:1 and 20:1, DEX had no protective effect on idarubicin-induced crypt cell toxicity. Our findings support the use of DEX to prevent or ameliorate mucositis in patients receiving anthracycline-based therapy and the use of DEX with high-dose doxorubicin to treat refractory disease.  相似文献

Phase I and pharmacokinetic trial of liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
A total of 21 patients with advanced cancer were entered into a phase I study to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) of liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin (LED) given weekly for 3 consecutive weeks at doses of 20, 30, or 37.5 mg/m2 per week. For a comparison of the pharmacokinetic behavior of LED with that of standard-formulation doxorubicin, 13 patients received a dose of standard-formulation doxorubicin 2 weeks prior to the first dose of LED. All doses were given by 1-h infusion through a central vein. Toxicity was evaluated in 22 courses delivered to 17 patients. The MTD with this schedule was 30 mg/m2 per week×3. The single patient treated at 37.5 mg/m2 weekly could not complete the entire course due to myelosuppression. At the dose of 30 mg/m2 per week, three of eight patients had grade 3 leukopenia. Other toxicities included mild to moderate thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting, fever, alopecia, diarrhea, fatigue, stomatitis, and infection. At the dose of 30 mg/m2 per week, the total doxorubicin AUC and peak total doxorubicin concentrations in plasma were 8.75±8.80 M h (mean±SD) and 3.07±1.45 M, respectively, after LED administration. The total doxorubicin AUC and peak total doxorubicin concentrations in plasma were 3.92±2.47 M h and 2.75±2.70 M, respectively, after the infusion of standard-formulation doxorubicin. The total body clearance of doxorubicin was 18.42±11.23 l/h after the infusion of LED and 31.21±15.48 l/h after the infusion of standard-formulation doxorubicin. The mean elimination half-lives of doxorubicin were similar: 8.65±5.16 h for LED and 7.46±5.16 h for standard-formulation doxorubicin. Interpatient variability in pharmacokinetic parameters as demonstrated by the percentage of coefficients of variation was 33%–105%. There was no relationship between the percentage of WBC decrease or the duration of WBC suppression and the total doxorubicin or doxorubicinol AUC. There was no correlation between the duration of leukopenia and drug exposure as reflected by the AUC of liposome-associated doxorubicin. LED can be given in doses similar to those of standard-formulation doxorubicin and produces acute toxicities similar to those caused by standard doxorubicin.Abbreviations MTD maximum tolerable dose - LED liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin - AUC area under the plasma concentration x time curve - WBC white blood cell count - PLT platelet count - ECOG Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group - EKG electrocardiogram - MUGA multigated nuclide scan - CLTB total body clearance - PC phosphatidylcholine: PG, phosphatidylglycerol - PEG-DSPE polyethylene glycol conjugated to distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine - HSPC hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine - chol cholesterol This work was supported by DHHS, NCl NO-l-CM 07 303 and by a Career Development Award from the American Cancer Society (to B.

To determine the influence of tamoxifen on the drug sensitivity of normal human hematopoietic progenitor cells, T-cell- and adherent-cell depleted human bone marrow mononuclear cells (T, Ad) were exposed in vitro to 5 M tamoxifen for 24 h. The effects of tamoxifen were highly variable, as exposure to tamoxifen produced an increase (97%±12.3%) in the growth of day-12 committed myeloid progenitors (CFU-GM) in only four of ten experiments utilizing bone marrow from different donors. When T, Ad myeloid progenitor cells treated with tamoxifen were subsequently exposed to doxorubicin, 7 of 14 experimental samples studied demonstrated a net increase in the number of surviving clonogenic cells as compared with cells exposed to doxorubicin alone. Tamoxifen also stimulated the growth of a more purified (CD34+-selected) progenitor cell population in four of four experiments (by 62.5%±4.9%) but did not increase the survival of these cells upon exposure to doxorubicin; in fact, in five of ten experimental samples, tamoxifen enhanced cell sensitivity to doxorubicin. Taken together, these observations indicate that tamoxifen produces variable stimulation of committed myeloid progenitor cell growth in vitro. Furthermore, while under some circumstances, tamoxifen appears to have the capacity to enhance CFU-GM survival in the presence of doxorubicin, this drug combination may also result in enhanced toxicity to normal bone marrow progenitors.Abbreviations CFU-GM granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units - T, Ad T-cell- and adherent-cell-depleted bone marrow mono-nuclear cells  相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using serum heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) concentrations as an early biomarker for doxorubicin-induced myocardial damage. Forty-four male rabbits were randomly divided into a control (8 rabbits) or one of four doxorubicin groups (8 rabbits in each group). Rabbits in the control group received saline, whereas rabbits in the doxorubicin group received 2?mg/kg doxorubicin weekly for 1?C8?weeks. Rabbits in the doxorubicin groups received doxorubicin 2?mg/kg for one (Group 1, 8 rabbits), two (Group 2, 8 rabbits), four (Group 3, 9 rabbits), or eight (Group 4, 11 rabbits) weeks. Echocardiography was performed to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), shortening fraction (FS), and E/A ratio. Cardiotoxicity scores were assessed by light microscopy using Billingham??s method and also by electron microscopy. Serum H-FABP concentrations were quantified by a rabbit-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Decreased LVEF, FS, and E/A ratio were detected in Group 4 (P?<?0.05). Billingham cardiomyopathy scores of the rabbits in Group 3 were significantly higher (P?<?0.05) than those of rabbits in the control group or Groups 1 or 2. Billingham cardiomyopathy scores in Group 4 were the highest of all groups (P?<?0.05). Myocardial injury was demonstrable by electron microscopy in rabbits in Groups 2, 3, and 4. Compared with the control group, serum H-FABP concentrations increased only in Group 4 (P?<?0.05). Serum H-FABP concentrations may not be a sensitive method for assessing early cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin.  相似文献

One of the major complications after high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) infusions is renal damage. We investigated the occurrence of proteinuria after HDMTX administration in children with pediatric malignancies (acute lymphoid leukaemia, osteosarcoma Burkitt's lymphoma). In the period 1989–1990 we gave 52 HDMTX courses to 24 children. During this period, prehydration and extra urinary alkalisation were performed only if the urinary specific gravity was over 1010 or if the urinary pH fell below 7. Using this schedule the mean values obtained for protein extraction were: before the therapy, 0.12±0.03 g/m2; on day 1 after MTX treatment, 0.38±0.06 g/m2; and on day 2 after the MTX infusion, 0.39±0.11 g/m2 (P<0.01). A significant increase in proteinuria (>0.2 g/m2 post- vs pretreatment) was detectable in 54% of the patients. In the period 1991–1992 we modified the hydration-alkalisation schedule to include i. v. prehydration for 18–24 h at 3 l/m2/day with a 0.45% NaCl-5% glucose solution along with sodium bicarbonate and posthydration for 72 h with the same solution. On this protocol the mean values determined for the urinary protein content were all in the normal range (pretreatment, 0.03 g/m2/day; day 1, 0.05 g/m2/day; and day 2, 0.08 g/m2/day). These findings were significantly different from the previous results (P<0.05).  相似文献

Summary Doxorubicin was given by short i. v. infusion (dose range 25–72 mg/m2) to 18 patients who underwent three to seven successive courses of chemotherapy (total, 57 courses). Plasma levels of doxorubicin and its major metabolite doxorubicinol were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography over a 48-h period after the infusion. Pharmacokinetic parameters for the parent drug and its metabolite were calculated for each course of treatment. The results show considerable inter-and intraindividual variations for most parameters. The coefficients of variation (CV) ranged from 37% to 93% (inter-individual) and from 6% to 59% (intra-individual). Nevertheless, we observed a good stability over successive courses for terminal half-life in six patients (CV, 6%–25%) and for clearance and AUC in four subjects (CV, 10%–22%). The ratio of the AUCs for doxorubicinol: doxorubicin averaged 0.514. The pharmacokinetic pattern of doxorubicinol was biphasic in plasma of the majority of patients. We propose a model for curve-fitting of these metabolite plasma concentrations that is based on two successive releases of the compound in the plasma compartment, separated by a lag time.  相似文献
