The dose-limiting toxicity of the highly effective anticancer agent 7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino]carbonyloxy-camptothecin (irinotecan; CPT-11) is delayed diarrhea. This is thought to be caused by either bacteria-mediated hydrolysis of the glucuronide conjugate of the active metabolite
OBJECTIVE
7-t-Butyldimethylsilyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (AR-67) is a novel third generation camptothecin selected for development based on the blood stability of its pharmacologically active lactone form and its high potency in preclinical models. Here, we report the initial phase I experience with
We assessed the involvement of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activity in episodes of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11)-induced delayed-onset diarrhea using a mutant rat strain with an inherited deficiency of UGT1A (Gunn rats). Gunn rats exhibited severe diarrhea after the intravenous
Two phase I trials of irinotecan (CPT-11) in combination with cisplatin were conducted. In both cases, the dose-limiting toxicities were leukopenia and/or diarrhea. During these trials the pharmacokinetics of CPT-11 and its active metabolite, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), were investigated
Alkalization of the intestinal tract by oral administration of sodium bicarbonate has been reported to be a promising method for preventing delayed diarrhea, a dose-limiting toxicity in patients receiving chemotherapy with irinotecan hydrochloride. However, it is feared that this method may
We have investigated the conversion of the novel anti-topoisomerase I agent CPT-11 (irinotecan; 7-ethyl-10[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidno]carbonyloxycamptothecin ) to its active metabolite, SN-38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin), by human liver carboxylesterase (HLC). Production of SN-38 was
OBJECTIVE
Clinically, diarrhea is the major dose-limiting toxicity of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11). Using a rat model, we attempted to decrease the incidence of delayed-onset diarrhea by modifying the administration schedule of CPT-11, and studied the pharmacokinetics in this model in relation
OBJECTIVE
10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) is the inhibitor of topoisomerase I with anti-cancer effectiveness on several solid tumors. TUOXI (lyophilized HCPT) has higher purity and stability in comparison with solution for injection HCPT. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy,
Irinotecan (CPT-11, 7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino] carbonyloxycamptothecin) has exhibited clinical activities against a broad spectrum of carcinomas by inhibiting DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I). However, severe and unpredictable dosing-limiting toxicities (mainly myelosuppression and
7-Ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), an active metabolite of antitumor agent irinotecan (CPT-11), is conjugated and detoxified to SN-38-glucuronide by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1. Genetic polymorphisms in UGT1A1 are thought to contribute to severe diarrhea and/or leukopenia caused by
Irinotecan (7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino]carbonyloxy-camptotheci n (CPT-11) is hydrolyzed by the enzyme carboxyl esterase to 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), which further undergoes glucuronic acid conjugation to form the corresponding SN-38 glucuronide (SN-38G). SN-38 is
Severe diarrhea occurred during daily intraperitoneal administration of 7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino]carbonyloxycamptothecin (CPT-11) at a dose of 50 mg/kg in athymic mouse. Serial determination of CPT-11 and 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), with the use of an on-line solid
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to build population pharmacokinetic models that describe plasma concentrations of irinotecan (CPT-11) and its metabolites 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) and SN-38 glucuronide (SN-38G) and to investigate the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships between
OBJECTIVE
We conducted a phase I trial of irinotecan (CPT-11), a topoisomerase I inhibitor, combined with etoposide, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) support because of the overlapping neutrophil toxicity of both drugs. The aim was
7-Ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) is the active metabolite of an anticancer drug, irinotecan (CPT-11). Severe late diarrhea is the dose-limiting toxic effect of CPT-11. This diarrhea has been examined regarding biliary excretion and deconjugation of SN-38 glucuronide by the enzyme
