Tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib enhances topotecan penetration of gliomas.
Gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, increases brain parenchymal extracellular fluid (ECF) accumulation of topotecan, a substrate of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein (Pgp/MDR-1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2). The effect of modulating these transporters on topotecan penetration in gliomas has not been thoroughly s...
متن کاملTopotecan central nervous system penetration is altered by a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
A potential strategy to increase the efficacy of topotecan to treat central nervous system (CNS) malignancies is modulation of the activity of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters at the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers to enhance topotecan CNS penetration. This study focused on topotecan penetration into the brain extracellular fluid (ECF) and ventricular cerebrospinal flu...
متن کاملTumor penetration of gefitinib (Iressa), an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
The relative distribution of gefitinib-related material in nude mice bearing s.c. human tumor xenografts and in an orthotopic rat lung tumor model was investigated following oral administration (50 mg/kg) of [14C]-gefitinib. Selected tissue samples were monitored for radioactivity by liquid scintillation counting, whereas plasma and tumor extracts were assayed for gefitinib and its major metabo...
متن کاملAn Apoferritin-based Drug Delivery System for the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Gefitinib.
Anticancer drug Gefitinib encapsulated within human heavy chain apoferritin by diffusion allows pH-controlled sustained release of cargo. The combination of increased cellular uptake, and potent and enhanced antitumor activity against the HER2 overexpressing SKBR3 cell line compared to Gefitinib alone, makes it a promising carrier for delivery of drugs to tumor sites.
متن کاملTyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced macrocytosis.
BACKGROUND The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) sunitinib and imatinib were shown to induce macrocytosis in patients with renal cell cancer (RCC) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), presumably through inhibition of the c-KIT dependent signaling pathway of erythroid progenitor cells of the bone marrow. PATIENTS AND METHODS Hematology charts of patients with RCC, breast cancer (BC), GIS...
