What is Amsacrine?
Absorption
Poorly absorbed
Toxicity
Symptoms of overdose include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, some cardiotoxicity (rarely).
Description
Amsacrine is a cytostatic reported to be active against adult lymphoblastic leukemia which has failed primary treatment or become resistant. Its clinical use, however, is associated with significant neuro-, gastro- and hepatotoxicity.
Originator
Auckland Cancer Chemotherapy Lab (New Zealand)
The Uses of Amsacrine
Amsacrine (Amsidyl) is used as an Investigational drug.
The Uses of Amsacrine
Antineoplastic.
The Uses of Amsacrine
Amsacrine is a drug undergoing intensive trials for severe leukemia and lymphoma. It is a cytotoxic drug that binds with DNA with expressed specificity to the adenosine–tyrosine pair, thus inhibiting DNA synthesis. It has been suggested to be used for severe leukemia. A synonym of this drug is amsidyl.
Indications
For treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia.
Background
Aminoacridine derivative that is a potent intercalating antineoplastic agent. It is effective in the treatment of acute leukemias and malignant lymphomas, but has poor activity in the treatment of solid tumors. It is frequently used in combination with other antineoplastic agents in chemotherapy protocols. It produces consistent but acceptable myelosuppression and cardiotoxic effects.
Definition
ChEBI: A sulfonamide that is N-phenylmethanesulfonamide substituted by a methoxy group at position 3 and an acridin-9-ylamino group at position 4. It exhibits antineoplastic activity.
brand name
Amsidyl (Parke-Davis);Amsakrin.
Pharmacokinetics
Amsacrine is an aminoacridine derivative that is a potent intercalating antineoplastic agent. It is effective in the treatment of acute leukemias and malignant lymphomas, but has poor activity in the treatment of solid tumors. It is frequently used in combination with other antineoplastic agents in chemotherapy protocols. It produces consistent but acceptable myelosuppression and cardiotoxic effects.
Synthesis
Amsacrine, 4-(9-acridinylamino)-3-methoxyphenyl-N-methansulfonamide (30.6.11), is made by sulfonating 4-nitro-m-anisidine with methanesulfonyl chloride, which forms a sulfonyl amide 30.6.9, and the nitro group is reduced to an amino group by hydrogen, forming 4-amino-3-methoxyphenyl-N-methansulfonamide (30.6.10). Reacting this with 9-chloroacridine gives amsacrine (30.6.11).
Metabolism
Extensive, primarily hepatic, converted to glutathione conjugate.
