D0314 | Amrubicin

Molecular Formula C25H25NO9
Molecular Weight 483.5
Structure
State solid
Clearance The plasma pharmacokinetics of amrubicin in cancer patients are characterized by low total clearance (22% of total liver blood flow) [L1710].
Volume of distribution Moderate volume of distribution (1.4 times total body water) [L1710].
Route of elimination In one study, urinary excretion of amrubicin and amrubicinol after ingestion of amrubicin accounted for 2.7% to 19.6% of the administered dose. The amount of excreted amrubicinol was approximately 10-fold greater than excreted amrubicin [L1710]. Excretion of amrubicin and its metabolites is primarily hepatobiliary. Enterohepatic recycling was demonstrated in rats [L1710].
Protein binding A study was performed on the plasma protein binding of amrubicin in both patients with hepatic impairment and those with normal liver function. In those with liver impairment, the plasma protein binding was found to be 91.3–97.1% and in those with normal hepatic function, 82.0–85.3% [L1713].
Half life 20-30 h [A32143] In a study of dogs, Amrubicin plasma concentrations followed a biphasic pattern with peak concentrations observed immediately after dosing followed by alpha and beta half-lives (t1/2) ± SD of 0.06 ± 0.01 and 2.0 ± 0.3 hours, respectively [L1710].
Absorption Peak plasma concentrations of the active metabolite _amrubicinol_ were observed from immediately after administration of amrubicin to 1h after administration. Plasma concentrations of amrubicinol were low compared with amrubicin plasma concentrations. The plasma amrubicinol AUC (area under the curve) was approximately 10-fold lower than the amrubicin plasma AUC. Concentrations of amrubicinol were higher in RBCs as compared with plasma. Amrubicinol AUCs ranged from 2.5-fold to 57.9-fold higher in red blood cells (RBCs) compared to plasma. Because amrubicinol distributes itself into RBCs more than amrubicin, the concentrations of amrubicinol and amrubicin in RBCs were quite similar. The AUC of amrubicinol in RBCs was approximately twofold lower than the amrubicin RBC AUC [L1713]. In one study, after repeated daily amrubicin administration, amrubicinol accumulation was observed in plasma and RBCs. On day 3, the amrubicinol plasma AUC was 1.2-fold to 6-fold higher than day 1 values; the RBC AUC was 1.2-fold to 1.7-fold higher than day 1 values. After 5 consecutive daily doses, plasma and RBC amrubicinol AUCs were 1.2-fold to 2.0-fold higher than day 1 values [L1713].
