118 patients with acute leukemias, including initial, relapsed and refractory cases, were treated with domestic Amsacrine (m-AMSA), singly or combined with other drugs. The total CR rate was 39.5% in ALL and 38.8% in ANLL, the response rate was 47.5% for both types of acute leukemias. The CR rate of relapsed and refractory ALL and ANLL treated with combination chemotherapy including domestic m-AMSA was 30.8% and 46.2% respectively. Domestic m-AMSA was similar to the foreign product and many other antitumor drugs in side effects and toxicity. The pharmacokinetics parameters of the drugs, C12h/C6h,K21 and Cmax were correlated with the therapeutic effectiveness

The synthetic aminoacridine derivative amsacrine (m-AMSA) is capable of preventing DNA from serving as a template in replication and DNA synthesis. This mechanism of action is similar to that of anthracyclines, but clinical evidence suggests the lack of cross-resistance. The recommended dosage in patients with solid tumors is 90-120 mg/sq m intravenously every 3-4 weeks. Despite the initial encouraging reports from experimental models, m-AMSA has shown no real impact in the treatment of patients with a wide variety of solid tumors. In relapsed acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, 20-30% of patients will achieve complete remission. An increased remission rate is obtained when m-AMSA is combined with other agents, especially with high-dose cytosine arabinoside, with a complete remission rate of 50-60% in relapsed patients. Currently, several phase III trials are evaluating m-AMSA combinations against daunorubicin-containing regimens in patients with previously untreated acute leukemia. The potential role of these regimens in this disease remains to be defined.

The bone marrow depressant effects of amsacrine may result in an increased incidence of microbial infection, delayed healing, and gingival bleeding. Dental work, whenever possible, should be completed prior to initiation of therapy or deferred until blood counts have returned to normal. Patients should be instructed in proper oral hygiene, including caution in use of regular toothbrushes, dental floss, and toothpicks.

For treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia.
Amsacrine is an aminoacridine derivative that is a potent intercalating antineoplastic agent. It is effective in the treatment of acute leukemias and malignant lymphomas, but has poor activity in the treatment of solid tumors. It is frequently used in combination with other antineoplastic agents in chemotherapy protocols. It produces consistent but acceptable myelosuppression and cardiotoxic effects.
Antineoplastic Agents
Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS. (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents.)
Intercalating Agents
Agents that are capable of inserting themselves between the successive bases in DNA, thus kinking, uncoiling or otherwise deforming it and therefore preventing its proper functioning. They are used in the study of DNA. (See all compounds classified as Intercalating Agents.)

In cancer patients, amsacrine undergoes biphasic elimination, with a distribution half-life of 0.25-1.6 hours and an elimination half-time of 4.7-9 hours. The total plasma clearance rate is 200-300 ml/min per sq m, and the apparent distribution volume is 70-110 l/sq m, suggesting concentration in tissues. During a 1 hour injusion of amasacrine at 90-200 mg/sq m, the peak plasma concentration was 10-15 umol/l.

Although not fully reported, early trials in which amsacrine was given orally failed to reach the maximum tolerated dose, as shown by lack of toxicity even at doses as high as 500 mg/sq m per day, suggesting incomplete or erratic absorption. In subsequent studies, the intravenous route was used, with which the maximum tolerated dose in patients with solid tumors is 100-150 mg/sq m when administered over 1-3 hours.

After intravenous administration of (14)C amsacrine to mice and rats, > 50% of the radiolabel was excreted in bile within the first 2 hours, and the bile:plasma ratio was > 400:1; 74% of an intravenous dose was excreted in the feces of mice with 72 hours. These studies demonstrate the importance of the liver in clearance of amsacrine.

Extensive, primarily hepatic, converted to glutathione conjugate.
Oxidative metabolism of the anti-cancer drug amsacrine 4'-(9-acridinylamino) methane-sulphan-m-anisidide has been suggested to account for its cytotoxicity. However, enzymes capable of oxidizing it in non-hepatic tissue have yet to be identified. A potential candidate, that may be relevant to the metabolism of amsacrine in blood and its action in myeloid leukaemias and myelosuppression, is the haem enzyme myeloperoxidase. We have found that the purified human enzyme oxidizes amsacrine to its quinone diimine, either directly or through the production of hypochlorous acid. In comparison, the 4-methyl-5-methylcarboxamide derivative of amsacrine, CI-921 9-[[2-methoxy-4[(methylsulphonyl)-amino]phenyl]amino)-N, 5-dimethyl-4-acridine carboxamide, reacted poorly with myeloperoxidase, although it was oxidized by hypochlorous acid. Detailed studies of the mechanism by which myeloperoxidase oxidizes amsacrine revealed that the semiquinone imine free radical is a likely intermediate in this reaction. Oxidation of amsacrine analogues indicated that factors other than their reduction potential determine how readily they are metabolized by myeloperoxidase. Both amsacrine and CI-921 inhibited production of hypochlorous acid by myeloperoxidase. CI-921 acted by trapping the enzyme as the inactive redox intermediate compound II. Amsacrine inhibited by a different mechanism that may involve conversion of myeloperoxidase to compound III, which is also unable to oxidize Cl-. The susceptibility of amsacrine to oxidation by myeloperoxidase indicates that this reaction may contribute to the cytotoxicity of amsacrine toward neutrophils, monocytes and their precursors.

In mouse bile, 5'- and 6'-glutathione conjugates were present in roughly equal amounts and accounted for 70% of the excreted biliary radiolabel after administration of radiolabelled amsacrine. In rats, the principal biliary metabolite was the 5'-gutathione conjugate, which accounted for 80% of the excreted radiolabel within the first 90 minutes and > 50% of the administered dose over 3 hours. The 6'-conjugate was also subsequently identified in rat bile. In rat liver microsomes and human neutrophils, intermediate oxidation products have been identified as N1'-methanesulfonyl-N4'-(9-acridinyl)-3'-methoxy-2',5'-cyclohexadience-1',4'-dii mine and 3'-methoxy-4'-(9-acridinylamino-2'5'-cyclohexadien-1'-one.

Amsacrine binds to DNA through intercalation and external binding. It has a base specificity for A-T pairs. Rapidly dividing cells are two to four times more sensitive to amsacrine than are resting cells. Amsacrine appears to cleave DNA by inducing double stranded breaks. Amsacrine also targets and inhibits topoisomerase II. Cytotoxicity is greatest during the S phase of the cell cycle when topoisomerase levels are at a maximum.
Amsacrine binds to DNA through intercalation and external binding and has base specificity for A-T pairs. Cycling cells are two to four times more sensitive to amsacrine than are resting cells. Cells initially in S and G2 phases are grossly delayed in their capacity for normal progression, leading to an accumulation of cells in the S phase, followed at later times by arrest in the G2 phase.

Cytotoxicity of several classes of antitumor DNA intercalators is thought to result from disturbance of DNA metabolism following trapping of the nuclear enzyme DNA topoisomerase II as a covalent complex on DNA. Here, molecular interactions of the potent antitumor drug amsacrine (m-AMSA), an inhibitor of topoisomerase II, within living K562 cancer cells have been studied using surface-enhanced Raman (SER) spectroscopy. The work is based on data of the previously performed model SER experiments dealing with amsacrine/DNA, drug/topoisomerase II and drug/DNA/topoisomerase II complexes in aqueous buffer solutions. The SER data indicated two kinds of amsacrine interactions in the model complexes with topoisomerase II alone or within ternary complex: non-specific (via the acridine moiety) and specific to the enzyme conformation (via the side chain of the drug). These two types of interactions have been both revealed by the micro-SER spectra of amsacrine within living K562 cancer cells. Our data suppose the specific interactions of amsacrine with topoisomerase II via the side chain of the drug (particular feature of the drug/topoisomerase II and ternary complexes) to be crucial for its inhibitory activity.
