camptothecin poisoning | camptothecin has strong irritation to mucosa, so gastrointestinal reaction and urinary tract irritation are the most common toxicity, myelosuppression was mainly leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. [poisoning] mainly gastrointestinal reactions, manifested as loss of appetite, Nausea, Vomit, Diarrhea; Severe cases, can cause electrolyte disorders. Urinary system reaction was frequent micturition, urgency, dysuria and hematuria. Cystoscopy showed mucosal congestion and small bleeding spots. Myelosuppression, mainly leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, occurs when the dosage of 100 ~ 140mg. [poisoning treatment] in case of severe urinary system reaction, the drug should be stopped immediately, and the patient should be encouraged to drink more water, rehydration and diuresis, and dilute the concentration of camptothecin in urine as much as possible. Application of sodium bicarbonate 0.5~1.0g, 3 times a day oral, to alkalinize urine. Have obvious hematuria, available hemostatic drugs. Or with 0.5% procaine for bilateral renal capsule closure. For the treatment of the remaining toxic reactions, see "intoxication with nitrogen mustard". [poisoning prevention] strictly control the dosage. During medication should drink more water, and oral sodium bicarbonate to reduce bladder irritation. Renal damage, urinary tract infection should be used with caution. It is suggested that hydroxycamptothecin (OPT) is a derivative of camptothecin, and its mechanism of action and anticancer spectrum are the same as camptothecin. After entering the body, OPT is mainly excreted from the biliary tract through feces, therefore, urinary system toxicity is rare. |
adverse reactions | 1. Can cause hematuria, frequent urination, urgency and other urinary system symptoms, mostly in the use of 100 ~ 140mg appear; Generally sustainable for several weeks, should be immediately discontinued; Drink more tea to increase urine output, then its toxic reaction to the bladder is reduced. 2. Myelosuppression, but less severe. 3. Can cause more serious Diarrhea, there is loss of appetite, Nausea, etc., in severe cases can cause intestinal paralysis, and electrolyte disorders. 4. A few people have hair loss phenomenon. |
precautions | 1. Alkalizing urine with sodium bicarbonate and drinking more water can reduce urinary tract toxicity, renal insufficiency or urinary tract infection slow use. 2, can be used to improve the hemogram of Chinese and Western medicine such as reserpine, caulis spatholobi, Polygonatum cuspidatum, etc. Diarrhea, the patient was stopped promptly and given symptomatic treatment. 4, white blood cells to 2 × 109/L should be discontinued, pregnant women should not use. 5, this product can not be diluted with glucose solution and acidic drug solution, should be diluted with normal saline. Injection immediately after dilution, not suitable for long time. |
camptothecin derivatives | the main representative drugs of camptothecin derivatives are Topotecan (TPT) and Irinotecan (Irinotecan), CPT-11), has been studied and used in clinic. Topotecan (9-dimethylaminoethane-10-hydroxy-hexine hydrochloride) is a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor, is a semi-synthetic, water-soluble natural camptothecin derivatives, when dissolved in normal saline, the lactone ring in its structure is hydrolyzed into a hydroxy acid that opens the ring, and the two form a dynamic equilibrium. The anticancer activity of the lactone type is much higher than that of the hydroxy acid, and the hydroxy acid type is the main form existing in the blood, when the blood pH 2~4 with ester type. Its anti-cancer mechanism is to prevent the repair of topoisomerase I, the role of breaking DNA, in the absence of topoisomerase, DNA replication in the process of rapid double helix helix, in theory, it will lead to an increase in the degree of helix of the double helix structure before the replication fork, and this increase in torque will make the subsequent transcription and replication process no longer possible. However, topoisomerases pass through intact DNA strands by generating reversible complexes with DNA and introducing transient enzyme-mediated cleavage of topoisomerase I and topoisomerase II. To reduce this torque. Through this mechanism it is possible to produce a continuous repair process. Topotecan acts by forming a stable covalent complex with a DNA-topoisomerase I polymer, which is why topotecan is cytotoxic, its inhibitory effect on topoisomerase I is mainly in the S phase, because the stable "cleavable complex" blocks the loosening and replication of DNA, and DNA strand breaks and DNA synthesis stops, S phase cells are irreversibly damaged, in addition, the replication fork is also damaged; Interrupt the DNA transcription process, and finally, lead to apoptosis and death, in vitro studies suggest that important factors for topotecan cytotoxic activity may be related to intracellular concentration and length of exposure. The pharmacokinetics was linear, and the proportional increase of the area under the concentration-time curve in plasma and the proportional increase of the peak value and steady-state concentration in plasma after higher dose were all the same, its distribution and metabolism belong to two-compartment model, and its pharmacokinetic parameters such as peak concentration and area under the curve are proportional to dose and related to hematological toxicity. Its tissue distribution is fast, and the average cerebrospinal fluid penetration is more than 30%. 30-minute intravenous infusion method, the elimination half-life of 3 hours, its excretion from the kidney 30% ~ 60%,12 hours after 90% of the drug is cleared, and in the bile and pleural fluid concentration and plasma equivalent: poor renal function in patients with dose should be adjusted, such as serum creatinine clearance rate ≥ 40ml/min does not have to change the dose, 20~39 ml/min, the dose should be reduced by 50%; No dose adjustment is required when blood bilirubin is> 25.5 μmol/L and <170 μmol/L. Irinotecan is another water-soluble derivative of camptothecin, in vivo by the role of carboxylesterase to remove pyridyl, pyridine carbonyl into metabolites SN-38 and play an anti-tumor effect, SN-38, the effect on tumor cells was 100 times stronger than that of irinotecan. Irinotecan inhibits DNA topoisomerase I, which plays a very important role in chromatin organization, mitosis, DNA replication, recombination and transcription, it does not require an energy supply, first of all through the phosphate bond with the DNA, the formation of the fracture of the complex, usually can be broken and non-covalent bond of the non-cleavable complex to form a balance, irinotecan shifts the equilibrium in the direction of the cleavable complex, causing single-strand breaks. This product has a wide anti-tumor spectrum, and the activity of inhibiting cell reproduction in vitro is weak, but the activity of its metabolite SN-38 is the same or stronger than that of ADM. L1210, P388, S180, MethA, 3 LL, B16 and rat tumor cell lines CO-4, MX-1, QG-56, ST15, SC-6 have good anti-tumor effect, vincristine, doxorubicin, the combined use of cisplatin, etoposide, fluorouracil and the like can enhance the anti-tumor effect and has no cross-resistance to existing anti-tumor drugs. |
Use | anticancer drug. For gastric cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, head and neck cylindrical tumor type cancer and bladder cancer. for the treatment of gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, chronic granulocytic and acute leukemia, etc. irreversibly binds to DNA topoisomerase I complex, effects on cell cycle progression camptothecin was originally isolated from the stem of Camptotheca acuminata and exhibited anti-leukemic/anti-tumor activity. Irreversibly binds to the DNA topoisomerase I complex, inhibits DNA recombination after cleavage by topoisomerase I, and locks the enzyme and DNA in a covalent bond. Camptothecin was originally isolated from the stem wood of the Camptotheca acuminata tree and was shown to exhibit antileukemic/antitumor activity, and reversibly inhibit Mitochondrial Topo I (nuclear Topo I (topoisomerase I )) by binding to and stabilizing the topoisomerase-DNA covalent complex. Advancing replication forks are believed to interact with these complexes leading to double strand breaks, which is thought to be responsible for much of the cytotoxicity; other research has shown that some of the antitumor activity could be derived from the inhibition of NOS2 (iNOS or inducible nitric oxide synthase) which generates nitric oxide, an important regulator of angiogenesis and other biochemical pathways. The discovery of camptothecin spurred the development of many derivatives with superior activity and solubility, including irinotecan (sc-202186) and topotecan (sc-204919). Although most noted for its anticancer activity camptothecin and derivatives have shown other pertinent biochemical actions, including: antiprotozoal, antimalarial, inhibition of HIV, upregulation of p53, and induction of apoptosis. This product also exhibits intense blue fluorescence when exposed to UV light, which could be useful in optical experiments. |
