Cyclophosphamide, an alkylating agent, is metabolically activated to phosphoramide mustard, to form toxic DNA-DNA (G-NOR-G) crosslinks. Increased exposure to cyclophosphamide metabolites has been associated with treatment-related toxicity. The effect of obesity on exposure to cyclophosphamide-induced G-NOR-G crosslinks is not known. Therefore we sought to determine whether obesity affects the formation of cyclophosphamide-specific G-NOR-G crosslinks.
Plasma cyclophosphamide concentrations and blood cell G-NOR-G amounts were measured.
Overweight/obese patients received a significantly higher daily cyclophosphamide dose (median 3000 vs. 4450 mg, p<0.01). Despite the higher doses, overweight/obese patients had lower exposure to cyclophosphamide compared to lean patients with an area under the curve (AUC(0-∞)) =529.24 vs. 867.99 μcg/mlh respectively, p<0.01. G-NOR-G amounts were similar in overweight/obese and lean subjects, AUC(0-∞)=142.8 vs. 147.0 adducts/10(6) nucleotidesh, respectively, p=0.59.
Overweight/obese patients have altered metabolism and disposition of cyclophosphamide. This altered exposure may be an important determinant of efficacy and may play a role in treatment-related mortality.
环磷酰胺是一种烷化剂,在体内代谢激活为磷酰胺氮芥,形成有毒的 DNA-DNA(G-NOR-G)交联。环磷酰胺代谢物暴露增加与治疗相关的毒性有关。肥胖对环磷酰胺诱导的 G-NOR-G 交联暴露的影响尚不清楚。因此,我们试图确定肥胖是否会影响环磷酰胺特异性 G-NOR-G 交联的形成。
测量血浆中环磷酰胺浓度和血细胞核中 G-NOR-G 的含量。
超重/肥胖患者接受的环磷酰胺日剂量明显较高(中位数 3000 与 4450mg,p<0.01)。尽管剂量较高,但超重/肥胖患者的环磷酰胺暴露量低于瘦患者,曲线下面积(AUC(0-∞))分别为 529.24 与 867.99μg/mlh,p<0.01。超重/肥胖患者与瘦患者的 G-NOR-G 含量相似,AUC(0-∞)分别为 142.8 与 147.0 加合物/10(6)核苷酸h,p=0.59。
超重/肥胖患者的环磷酰胺代谢和处置发生改变。这种改变的暴露可能是疗效的重要决定因素,并可能在治疗相关死亡率中发挥作用。
