A microbiological assay for estimating concentrations of camptothecin lactone in mouse tissues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The marked sensitivity of the yeast Hansenula wingei NRRL Y-2340 strain 5 to a new antineoplastic alkaloid served as the basis for a logarithmic-ratio microbiological assay which has been developed for the estimation of concentrations of camptothecin lactone (or cytotoxic equivalents) in tissues of mice. The utility of this assay has been demonstrated by presenting data which show the concentrations of camptothecin lactone (or cytotoxic equivalents) detected in various tissues of mice at intervals following intraperitoneal injection of a 1 or 0.5 ld(10) dose of this drug.

7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN-38), the active metabolite of the anti-cancer agent irinotecan, contains a lactone ring that equilibrates with a carboxylate form. Since SN-38 lactone is the active and toxic form, it is prudent to examine whether the more soluble carboxylate is a surrogate for SN-38 lactone conjugation. Therefore, relative rates of glucuronidation and isoform specificity of ...

متن کاملCarboxylate Forms of Camptothecins -CPT, SN22 and Karenitecin® Bind Specifically to Site II (Diazepam site) of Human Serum Albumin
Camptothecins are an important class of anti-cancer agents and under physiological conditions exist in equilibrium between the lactone and carboxylate forms. The lactone form of camptothecins is crucial for their anti-tumor effect. Camptothecins, especially carboxylate forms, bind strongly to the plasma protein, human serum albumin (HSA). This binding of the carboxylate form alters the hydrolys...
