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).

Synthesis_51264-14-3

Metabolism

Extensive, primarily hepatic, converted to glutathione conjugate.
