PURPOSE: To determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetics, and toxicities associated with administration of paclitaxel poliglumex (PPX, XYOTAX, Cell Therapeutics, Inc., Bresso, Italy) given on either 3-weekly or 2-weekly schedule. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Nineteen patients were investigated on the 3-weekly phase Ia study and 11 patients on the 2-weekly phase Ib study. Dose escalation starting with 100% increments and one patient per dose level was modulated in accordance with the observed toxicities. Conjugated and unconjugated paclitaxel were measured in plasma. RESULTS: Dose-limiting toxicity of neutropenia was encountered at 266 mg/m(2) (paclitaxel equivalents) in phase Ia and the maximum tolerated dose was 233 mg/m(2). Neuropathy was dose-limiting in phase Ib with a maximum tolerated dose of 177 mg/m(2). Pharmacokinetic investigations indicated a prolonged half-life of >100 hours for conjugated taxanes. Plasma concentrations of unconjugated paclitaxel were similar to those following administration of an equivalent dose of Taxol. Two partial responses were observed, one in a patient with mesothelioma at 177 mg/m(2) in phase Ia and one in a patient with gastric carcinoma at 175 mg/m(2) in phase Ib. CONCLUSION: PPX is a water-soluble paclitaxel-polymer conjugate with a prolonged half-life and limited volume of distribution. Dose-limiting toxicities were neutropenia and neuropathy. PPX showed activity in this patient population. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Topotecan and cisplatin combinations have shown schedule-dependent toxicity, which may in part be due to cisplatin nephrotoxicity. As carboplatin is less nephrotoxic and increasingly replacing cisplatin in clinical practice, the aim of this study was to define the optimal sequence and dose for topotecan in combination with carboplatin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two parallel phase I trials, with pharmacokinetic studies, were conducted administering carboplatin on day 1 with topotecan on days 1-5 (schedule A) or days 8-12 (schedule B). repeated every 3 weeks. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients were treated over two dose levels, carboplatin AUC 4 [glomerular filtration rate (GFR) calculated from 51Cr-EDTA clearance] with topotecan 0.5 or 0.75 mg/m2. At the first dose level, six patients were evaluable for each schedule. With schedule A, from 34 cycles, there were two dose reductions and 10 treatment delays due to myelosuppression. With schedule B from 25 cycles, there was one reduction and 10 delays. At dose level 2, both patients in schedule A had dose-limiting neutropenia. In contrast, there was no dose-limiting toxicity with schedule B in six patients, although the majority of cycles were delayed. CONCLUSION: The combination of topotecan and carboplatin using these 3-weekly schedules lead to significant myelotoxicity with attendant dose reductions and delays; the optimal scheduling of these agents remains to be defined. 相似文献

Bacterial peptidoglycan glycosyltransferases (GTs) of family 51 catalyze the polymerization of the lipid II precursor into linear peptidoglycan strands. This activity is essential to bacteria and represents a validated target for the development of new antibacterials. Application of structure-based virtual screening to the National Cancer Institute library using eHits program and the structure of the glycosyltransferase domain of the Staphylococcus aureus penicillin-binding protein 2 resulted in the identification of two small molecules analogues 5, a 2-[1-[(2-chlorophenyl)methyl]-2-methyl-5-methylsulfanylindol-3-yl]ethanamine and 5b, a 2-[1-[(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl]-2-methyl-5-methylsulfanylindol-3-yl]ethanamine that exhibit antibacterial activity against several Gram-positive bacteria but were less active on Gram-negative bacteria. The two compounds inhibit the activity of five GTs in the micromolar range. Investigation of the mechanism of action shows that the compounds specifically target peptidoglycan synthesis. Unexpectedly, despite the fact that the compounds were predicted to bind to the GT active site, compound 5b was found to interact with the lipid II substrate via the pyrophosphate motif. In addition, this compound showed a negatively charged phospholipid-dependent membrane depolarization and disruption activity. These small molecules are promising leads for the development of more active and specific compounds to target the essential GT step in cell wall synthesis. 相似文献

Background: Preclinical results support a prolonged schedule of administration for topoisomerase I inhibitors, and we have previously demonstrated the safety and activity of the novel water-soluble topoisomerase I inhibitor GG211 when given as a 72-hour continuous infusion to cancer patients.Patients and methods: In a three-center international phase I trial, 38 patients received GG211 doses from 0.3 to 0.5 mg/m2/day by continuous intravenous infusions for seven, 14, and 21 days. Patients' median performance status was 1; nearly half had colorectal cancer, and 35 patients had prior chemotherapy.Results: The first patient cohort received 0.3 mg/m2/day for seven days with no significant toxicities. Subsequent cohorts received continuous infusions for 14 and 21 days at this dose level with only mild myelosuppression noted. Dose-escalation on the 21-day schedule was then performed. No dose-limiting toxicity occurred at the 0.4 mg/m2/day dose level. Thrombocytopenia was dose-limiting with 0.5 mg/m2/day dosing but was not cumulative. Other grade 3–4 toxicities included neutropenia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. Partial responses occurred with 21-day infusion in two patients with breast and ovarian cancer at the 0.3 and 0.4 mg/m2/day dose levels, respectively. Mean GG211 lactone Css ranged from 0.17 to 0.64 ng/ml.Conclusion: The maximum tolerated dose of GG211 administered as a 21-day continuous infusion is 0.4 mg/m2/day with antitumor activity noted at tolerable doses. 相似文献

AIMS: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) reduces endogenous pyrimidines and therapeutic analogues such as the anticancer agent 5-fluorouracil (5FU). Among Caucasian populations DPD activity is highly variable and subject to polymorphic regulation. To evaluate interethnic influence, DPD activity was assessed in South-west Asian, Kenyan and Ghanaian populations. METHODS: DPD activity was determined in peripheral mononuclear cells using[14C]-5-fluorouracil and h.p.l.c. analysis. RESULTS: A high degree of variation in DPD activity was observed within each population (range CV = 34-48%). Median DPD activity also varied between these populations. South-west Asian and Kenyan subjects exhibited almost identical median values (192 and 193.5 pmol min(-1) mg(-1), respectively), which were similar to Caucasians (median 215 pmol min(-1) mg(-1). A significantly lower median DPD activity (119 pmol min(-1) mg(-1)) was observed in the Ghanaian population. CONCLUSIONS: The similarity in DPD activity between Caucasian, Kenyan and South-west Asian populations suggests that the incidence of 5FU-related toxicity may be comparable in these groups. The pharmacokinetic implications of lower activity amongst Ghanaians needs to be evaluated. 相似文献

Polymeric vesicles have recently been developed from an amphiphilic chitosan derivative--palmitoyl glycol chitosan. Their potential as a drug delivery system was evaluated using the anti-cancer compound bleomycin as a model drug. Palmitoyl glycol chitosan (GCP41) was synthesised by conjugation of palmitoyl groups to glycol chitosan. Bleomycin-containing vesicles (669 nm diameter) were prepared from a mixture of GCP41 and cholesterol by remote loading. The vesicles were imaged by freeze-fracture electron microscopy and their in-vitro stability tested. Incubation of the larger vesicles with plasma in-vitro led to a reduction of mean size by 49%, a reaction not seen with control sorbitan monostearate niosomes (215 nm in size). They also showed a higher initial drug release (1 h), but GCP41 and sorbitan monostearate vesicles retained 62% and 63% of the encapsulated drug after 24h, respectively. The biodistribution of smaller vesicles (290 nm) prepared by extrusion through a 200-nm filter was also studied in male Balb/c mice. Encapsulation of bleomycin into polymeric vesicles did not significantly alter the pharmacokinetics of biodistribution of bleomycin in male Balb/c mice although plasma and kidney levels were slightly increased. It is concluded that the extruded GCP41 vesicles break down in plasma in-vivo and hence are unlikely to offer any therapeutic advantage over the free drug. 相似文献
