Biological Activity of Cytarabine hydrochloride

DescriptionCytarabine hydrochloride is an antimetabolic agent and DNA synthesis inhibitor with IC50 of 16 nM.In Vitro:Cytarabine is phosphorylated into a triphosphate form (Ara-CTP) involving deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), which competes with dCTP for incorporation into DNA, and then blocks DNA synthesis by inhibiting the function of DNA and RNA polymerases. Cytarabine displays a higher growth inhibitory activity towards wild-type CCRF-CEM cells compared to other acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells with IC50 of 16 nM[1]. Cytarabine apparently induces apoptosis of rat sympathetic neurons at 10 μM, of which 100 μM shows the highest toxicity and kills over 80% of the neurons by 84 hours, involving the release of mitochondrial cytochrome-c and the activation of caspase-3, and the toxicity can be attenuated by p53 knockdown and delayed by bax deletion[2].In Vivo:Cytarabine (250 mg/kg) also causes placental growth retardation and increases placental trophoblastic cells apoptosis in the placental labyrinth zone of the pregnant Slc:Wistar rats, which increases from 3 hour after the treatment and peaks at 6 hour before returning to control levels at 48 hour, with remarkably enhanced p53 protein, p53 trancriptional target genes such as p21, cyclinG1 and fas and caspase-3 activity[3]. Cytarabine is highly effective against acute leukaemias, which causes the chCytarabineteristic G1/S blockage and synchronization, and increases the survival time for leukaemic Brown Norway rats in a weak dose-related fashion indicating that the use of higher dosages of Cytarabine does not contribute to its antileukaemic effectiveness in man[4].

Protocol

Kinase Assay [1]
Stock solution of Cytarabine is prepared in absolute ethanol, and serial dilutions of Cytarabine are prepared. CCRF-CEM cells are suspended in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 0.1% gentamicin, and 1% sodium pyruvate. The cells are suspended in their respective media to give 10 mL volumes of cell suspension at a final density of 3-6×104 cells/mL. Appropriate volumes of Cytarabine solution are transferred to the cell suspensions, and incubation is continued for 72 hours. The cells are spun down and resuspended in fresh Cytarabine -free medium, and final cell counts are determined. The data are analyzed by sigmoidal curve fitting of the cell count versus Cytarabine concentration, and the results are expressed as the IC50 (Cytarabine concentration that inhibits cell growth to 50% of the control value).

Animal Administration [3]
Pregnant rats are injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 250 mg/kg of Cytarabine on Day 13 of gestation (GD13). Under the conditions of this experiment, congenital anomalies and growth retardation are detected at a high rate in perinatal fetuses, although the incidence of fetal death is not markedly increased. At 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 48 h after the treatment, six dams each are killed by heart puncture under ether anesthesia, and the placentas are collected. As controls, six pregnant rats are injected i.p. with an equivalent volume of PBS on GD13 and killed at the same time point as Cytarabine-treated groups. Of the six dams obtained at each time point, three are used for histopathological analyses and three for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis.

Background on Cytarabine hydrochloride

Cytarabine hydrochloride is an effective drug in the treatment of cancers of white blood cells [1].

Cytarabine hydrochloride is a dxoxycytidine (dC) analogue. Cytarabine hydrochloride has been found to be phosphorylated into a triphophate form, and thus compete with dCTP for incorporation into DNA. Cytarabine hydrochloride has reported to incorporate into DNA and block DNA synthesis by inhibiting the function of DNA and RNA polymerases. In addition, incorporated has shown a growth inhibition dose-dependent curve using acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in a growth inhibition assay with IC50 values of 16nM,103μM and 223μM for CCRF-CEM, CEM/AraC8C and CEM/dCK-cell lines, respectively. Moreover, Cytarabine hydrochloride has been exhibited to retrovirally transducer rat leukemic KA cells by WST-1 assay with IC50 values of 0.69μM,1.73μM and 0.037μM for KA, kA/GFP and KA/wt, respectively [1,2].

The CAG regimen (low-dose cytarabine, aclarubicin hydrochloride and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) for the treatment of elderly acute myelomonocytic leukaemia: a case study.[Pubmed:11277347]

J Int Med Res. 2001 Jan-Feb;29(1):41-7.

Elderly patients with acute myelomonocytic leukaemia (AMMoL) frequently have a poor quality of life after induction of remission using high-intensity treatment; we seek a more appropriate regimen for such patients. An 86-year-old man was hospitalized with a diagnosis of AMMoL (FAB classification M4), of abnormal karyotype, and complications of diabetes mellitus and complete right bundle branch block. He was treated with CAG therapy (cytarabine 10 mg/m2 subcutaneously every 12 h for 14 consecutive days; aclarubicin hydrochloride 10 mg/m2 per day, bolus intravenously for 4 consecutive days; granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 100 microg/day, subcutaneous injection for 14 consecutive days) every 3 months. White blood cell counts were at their lowest (around 600 - 800/microl) 12 days after the end of therapy, but returned to about 2000 - 2300/microl 30 days after stopping therapy. No symptoms of drug-related toxicity, except slight nausea, were found. Complete remission with a good quality of life was induced and lasted over 2 years suggesting that CAG therapy might prove effective in elderly patients with AMMoL.

Nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) of cytarabine hydrochloride for effective treatment of leukemias: encapsulation, storage, and in vitro release.[Pubmed:10697760]

Drug Dev Ind Pharm. 2000 Feb;26(2):217-22.

Niosome vesicles of Cytarabine hydrochloride were prepared by a lipid hydration method that excluded dicetylphosphate. The sizes of the vesicles obtained ranged from 600 to 1000 nm, with the objective of producing more blood levels in vivo. The study of the release of drug from niosomes exhibited a prolonged release profile as studied over a period of 16 hr. The drug entrapment efficiency was about 80% with Tween 80, Span 60 and Tween 20; for Span 80, it was 67.5%. The physical stability profile of vesicular suspension was good as studied over a period of 4 weeks.

Stability of fluorouracil, cytarabine, or doxorubicin hydrochloride in ethylene vinylacetate portable infusion-pump reservoirs.[Pubmed:1598939]

Am J Hosp Pharm. 1992 Mar;49(3):619-23.

The stability of fluorouracil, cytarabine, and doxorubicin hydrochloride in admixtures stored in portable infusion-pump reservoirs was investigated. Admixtures containing fluorouracil 50 or 10 mg/mL, cytarabine 25 or 1.25 mg/mL, or doxorubicin hydrochloride 1.25 or 0.5 mg/mL in 0.9% sodium chloride injection or 5% dextrose injection were placed in 80-mL ethylene vinylacetate drug reservoirs protected from light, and 1-mL quantities were withdrawn immediately after preparation and after storage for 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 14, and 28 days at 4, 22, or 35 degrees C. For each condition, three samples from each admixture were tested for drug concentration by stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography. The admixtures were also monitored for precipitation, color change, and pH. Evaporative water loss from the containers was measured. Fluorouracil was stable at all temperatures for 28 days. Cytarabine was stable for 28 days at 4 and 22 degrees C and for 7 days at 35 degrees C. Doxorubicin hydrochloride was stable for 14 days at 4 and 22 degrees C and for 7 days at 35 degrees C. No color change or precipitation was observed, and pH values were stable. Loss of water through the reservoirs was substantial only at 35 degrees C for 28 days. When stored in ethylene vinylacetate portable infusion-pump reservoirs, fluorouracil, cytarabine, and doxorubicin hydrochloride were each stable for at least one week at temperatures up to 35 degrees C. Cytarabine and doxorubicin hydrochloride showed decreasing stability at longer storage times and higher temperatures.
