DepoCyt (cytarabine liposome injection) is indicated for the intrathecal treatment of lymphomatous meningitis. This indication is based on demonstration of increased complete response rate compared to unencapsulated cytarabine. There are no controlled trials that demonstrate a clinical benefit resulting from this treatment, such as improvement in disease-related symptoms, or increased time to disease progression, or increased survival. /Cytarabine liposome injection/

The patient's hematologic status must be carefully monitored. Leukocyte and platelet counts should be performed frequently during cytarabine therapy. The manufacturers state that leukocyte and platelet counts should be determined daily during remission induction therapy of acute leukemia. The manufacturers also recommend frequent bone marrow examinations after blast cells have disappeared from the peripheral blood.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 992
Patients who receive myelosuppressive drugs experience an increased frequency of infections (e.g., viral, bacterial, fungal) as well as possible hemorrhagic complications. Because these complications are potentially fatal, the patient should be instructed to notify the clinician if fever, sore throat, or unusual bleeding or bruising occurs. ...Treatment with cytarabine should be initiated only with extreme caution in patients with preexisting drug-induced bone marrow suppression.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 992
The manufacturers recommend that periodic determinations of renal function be performed in patients receiving cytarabine. Periodic determinations of hepatic function should also be performed in patients receiving cytarabine, and the manufacturers state that the drug should be used with caution and in reduced dosage in patients with poor hepatic function.

For the treatment of acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia and blast phase of chronic myelocytic leukemia. Cytarabine is indicated in combination with [daunorubicin] for the treatment of newly-diagnosed therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) in adults and pediatric patients 1 year and older.
FDA Label
Intrathecal treatment of lymphomatous meningitis. In the majority of patients such treatment will be part of symptomatic palliation of the disease.
Cytarabine is an antineoplastic anti-metabolite used in the treatment of several forms of leukemia including acute myelogenous leukemia and meningeal leukemia. Anti-metabolites masquerade as purine or pyrimidine - which become the building blocks of DNA. They prevent these substances becoming incorporated in to DNA during the "S" phase (of the cell cycle), stopping normal development and division. Cytarabine is metabolized intracellularly into its active triphosphate form (cytosine arabinoside triphosphate). This metabolite then damages DNA by multiple mechanisms, including the inhibition of alpha-DNA polymerase, inhibition of DNA repair through an effect on beta-DNA polymerase, and incorporation into DNA. The latter mechanism is probably the most important. Cytotoxicity is highly specific for the S phase of the cell cycle.
Antiviral Agents
Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly. (See all compounds classified as Antiviral Agents.)
Antimetabolites, Antineoplastic
Antimetabolites that are useful in cancer chemotherapy. (See all compounds classified as Antimetabolites, Antineoplastic.)
Immunosuppressive Agents
Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging. (See all compounds classified as Immunosuppressive Agents.)

Absorption
Less than 20% of the orally administered dose is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Route of Elimination
The primary route of elimination of cytarabine is metabolism to the inactive compound ara-U, followed by urinary excretion of ara-U.
Less than 20% of a dose of conventional cytarabine is absorbed from the GI tract, and the drug is not effective when administered orally. Following subcutaneously or im injection of conventional cytarabine H 3, peak plasma concentrations of radioactivity occur within 20-60 min and are considerably lower than those attained after iv administration. Continuous iv infusions of conventional cytarabine produce relatively constant plasma concn of the drug in 8-24 hr.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 993
Cytarabine is rapidly and widely distributed into tissues and fluids, including liver, plasma, and peripheral granulocytes. Following rapid IV injection of cytarabine in one study, approximately 13% of the drug was bound to plasma proteins.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 993
Cytarabine crosses the blood-brain barrier to a limited extent. During a continuous IV or subcutaneous infusion, cytarabine concentrations in the CSF are higher than those attained after rapid IV injection and are about 40-60% of plasma concentrations. Most of an intrathecal dose of cytarabine diffuses into the systemic circulation but is rapidly metabolized and usually only low plasma concentrations of unchanged drug occur.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 993
The drug apparently crosses the placenta. It is not known if cytarabine or ara-U is distributed into milk.

Hepatic.
Cytarabine is rapidly and extensively metabolized mainly in the liver but also in kidneys, GI mucosa, granulocytes, and to a lesser extent in other tissues by the enzyme cytidine deaminase, producing the inactive metabolite 1--d-arabinofuranosyluracil (ara-U, uracil arabinoside). After the initial distribution phase, more than 80% of the drug in plasma is present as ara-U. In the CSF, only minimal amounts of cytarabine are converted to ara-U because of low CSF concentrations of cytidine deaminase. Intracellularly, cytarabine is metabolized by deoxycytidine kinase and other nucleotide kinases to cytarabine triphosphate, the active metabolite of the drug. Cytarabine triphosphate is inactivated by a pyrimidine nucleoside deaminase, which produces the uracil derivative.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 994
The primary route of elimination of cytarabine is metabolism to the inactive compound ara-U (1-(beta)-D-arabinofuranosyluracil or uracilarabinoside), followed by urinary excretion of ara-U. In contrast to systemically administered cytarabine, which is rapidly metabolized to ara-U, conversion to ara-U in the CSF is negligible after intrathecal administration because of the significantly lower cytidine deaminase activity in the CNS tissues and CSF. The CSF clearance rate of cytarabine is similar to the CSF bulk flow rate of 0.24 mL/min. /Cytarabine liposome injection/
Physicians Desk Reference 61st ed, Thomson PDR, Montvale, NJ 2007., p. 1143
Cytarabine must be converted to the 5'-monophosphate nucleotide by deoxycytidine kinase to be active. Ara-cytidine diphosphate &/or ara-cytidine triphosphate are presumably the form that inhibit DNA polymerase & block ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase.

10 minutes
After rapid IV injection of cytarabine, plasma drug concentrations appear to decline in a biphasic manner with a half-life of about 10 minutes in the initial phase and about 1-3 hours in the terminal phase. Cytarabine reportedly undergoes triphasic elimination in some patients. After intrathecal injection, cytarabine concentrations in the CSF reportedly decline with a half-life of about 2 hours.

Peak levels were followed by a biphasic elimination profile with a terminal phase half-life of 100 to 263 hours over a dose range of 12.5 mg to 75 mg. In contrast, intrathecal administration of 30 mg of free cytarabine showed a biphasic CSF concentration profile with a terminal phase half-life of 3.4 hours. /Cytarabine liposome injection/

After iv admin, there is a rapid phase of disappearance of AraC (half-life = 10 min), followed by a slower phase of elimination with a half-time of about 2.5 hr ... After intrathecal admin of the drug at a dose of 50 mg/sq m ... peak concn of 1 to 2 mM are achieved, which decline slowly with a terminal half-life of approx 3.4 hr.

Cytarabine acts through direct DNA damage and incorporation into DNA. Cytarabine is cytotoxic to a wide variety of proliferating mammalian cells in culture. It exhibits cell phase specificity, primarily killing cells undergoing DNA synthesis (S-phase) and under certain conditions blocking the progression of cells from the G1 phase to the S-phase. Although the mechanism of action is not completely understood, it appears that cytarabine acts through the inhibition of DNA polymerase. A limited, but significant, incorporation of cytarabine into both DNA and RNA has also been reported.
Cytarabine is converted intracellularly to the nucleotide, cytarabine triphosphate (ara-CTP, cytosine arabinoside triphosphate). Although the exact mechanism(s) of action of cytarabine has not been fully elucidated, cytarabine triphosphate appears to inhibit DNA polymerase by competing with the physiologic substrate, deoxycytidine triphosphate, resulting in the inhibition of DNA synthesis. Although limited, incorporation of cytarabine triphosphate into DNA and RNA may also contribute to the cytotoxic effects of the drug.

Cytarabine is a potent immunosuppressant which can suppress humoral and/or cellular immune responses; however, the drug does not decrease preexisting antibody titers and has no effect on established delayed hypersensitivity reactions.

Cytarabine liposome injection is a sustained-release formulation of the active ingredient cytarabine designed for direct administration into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Cytarabine is a cell cycle phase-specific antineoplastic agent, affecting cells only during the S-phase of cell division. Intracellularly, cytarabine is converted into cytarabine-5'-triphosphate (ara-CTP), which is the active metabolite. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but it appears that ara-CTP acts primarily through inhibition of DNA polymerase. Incorporation into DNA and RNA may also contribute to cytarabine cytotoxicity. Cytarabine is cytotoxic to a wide variety of proliferating mammalian cells in culture. /Cytarabine liposome injection/
