CAS 70-55-3
Para-toluenesulfonamide is a low-molecular-weight organic compound with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intra-tumoral injection, para-toluenesulfonamide increases lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and the release of cathepsin B. Cytosolic cathepsin B released from lysosomes cleaves and activates proapoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family member BH3 interacting-domain death agonist (Bid) and poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP-1), which may induce tumor cell death.

/EXPL THER/ Severe malignant airway obstruction (SMAO) is a life-threatening form of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). /The purpose of this study was/ to determine the efficacy and safety of para-toluenesulfonamide (PTS) intratumoral injection in NSCLC-SMAO. Ninety patients with NSCLC-SAO received repeated courses of PTS intratumoral injection until tumor sizes had reduced by 50% or greater. Primary endpoint was objective alleviation rate, assessed by chest computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopy, at day 7 and 30 following final dosing. Secondary endpoints included airway obstruction, spirometry, quality-of-life and survival time. In full-analysis set (N=88), using RECIST criteria, PTS treatment resulted in a significant objective alleviation rate [chest CT: 59.1% (95%CI: 48.1%-69.5%), bronchoscopy: 48.9% (95%CI: 38.1%-59.8%) at day 7; chest CT: 43.2% (95%CI: 32.7%-54.2%), bronchoscopy: 29.6% (95%CI: 20.3%-40.2%) at day 30]. There was a remarkable increase in FVC (mean difference: 0.35 liters, 95%CI: 0.16-0.53 liters), FEV1 (mean difference: 0.27 liters, 95%CI: 0.07-0.48 liters), Baseline Dyspnea Index (mean difference: 64.8%, 95%CI: 53.9-74.7%) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung Cancer Subscale (mean difference: 6.9, 95%CI: 3.8-9.9) at day 7 post-treatment. We noted significantly reduced prevalence of atelectasis (by 42.9%) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group physical performance scale (mean difference: 7.2, 95%CI: 3.9-10.5). Median survival time was 394 days in full-analysis set and 460 days in per-protocol set. Adverse events were reported in 64.0% of subjects. Seven severe adverse events (7.9%) were reported, of which three led to death (drug-related in one case). PTS intratumoral injection is effective and well tolerated for palliative therapy of NSCLC-SMAO.

/EXPL THER/ /The purpose was/ to study the effect of percutaneous para-toluenesulfonamide (PTS) injection on transplanted hepatocarcinoma in nude mice. Sixty nude mice with subcutaneous transplanted hepatocarcinoma were randomized into 6 groups, namely PTS, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, PTS+chemotherapy, PTS+radiotherapy and control groups. PTS were injected into the tumor in the nude mouse models as indicated, and the tumor growth rate and survival time of the mice were recorded. All the treatments resulted in effective arrest of the tumor growth, but the effects of PTS+chemotherapy and PTS+radiotherapy were more obvious. No significant difference in the survival time of the mice were noted between the groups. PTS+chemotherapy and PTS+radiotherapy are safe and reliable, and produces better effects than either radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone.

/EXPL THER/ Para-toluenesulfonamide (PTS) has been implicated with anticancer effects against a variety of tumors. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of PTS on tongue squamous cell carcinoma (Tca-8113) and explored the lysosomal and mitochondrial changes after PTS treatment in vitro. High-performance liquid chromatography showed that PTS selectively accumulated in Tca-8113 cells with a relatively low concentration in normal fibroblasts. Next, the effects of PTS on cell viability, invasion, and cell death were determined. PTS significantly inhibited Tca-8113 cells' viability and invasive ability with increased cancer cell death. Flow cytometric analysis and the lactate dehydrogenase release assay showed that PTS induced cancer cell death by activating apoptosis and necrosis simultaneously. Morphological changes, such as cellular shrinkage, nuclear condensation as well as formation of apoptotic body and secondary lysosomes, were observed, indicating that PTS might induce cell death through disturbing lysosomal stability. Lysosomal integrity assay and western blot showed that PTS increased lysosomal membrane permeabilization associated with activation of lysosomal cathepsin B. Finally, PTS was shown to inhibit ATP biosynthesis and induce the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c. Therefore, our findings provide a novel insight into the use of PTS in cancer therapy.

/EXPL THER/ Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is difficult to eradicate due to its resilient nature. Portal vein is often involved in tumors of large size, which exclude the patient from surgical resection and local ablative therapy, such as percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) because they were considered neither effective nor safe. Currently, there is almost no effective treatment for HCC of such condition. As a unique antitumor agent in form of lipophilic fluid for local injection, para-toluenesulfonamide (PTS) produces mild side effects while necrotizing the tumor tissues quickly and efficiently. Being largely different from both PEI and RFA therapies, PTS can disseminate itself in tumors more easily than other caustic agents, such as alcohol. So PTS may offer additional benefit to HCCs with vascular involvement. We herein describe a 70-year-old HCC patient who was treated with the combination of PTS injection and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, resulting in a significantly improved clinical prognosis.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Urinary excretion of administration p-toluenesulfonamide in rats was approx 80% with half of original compound being oxidized to p-sulfamoylbenzoic acid. More than 90% of /the p-sulfamoylbenzoic acid metabolite/ was excreted unchanged, but urine to feces ratios varied considerably among individual animals.

Minegishi KI et al; Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo) 20 (7): 1351-6 (1972)


After oral administration of (14)C-labeled compound to rats the label was rapidly eliminated largely in urine (66-89% of dose), with little in feces (2-8% of dose). (14)C in feces was 4-sulfamoylbenzoic acid, which probably originated in tissues.

5.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

/The purpose of this study was/ to study the in vivo and in vitro metabolism and the effect of para-toluene-sulfonamide (PTS) on cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450). Total CYP450 and microsome protein content were determined after iv pretreatment of rats with PTS. CYP-specific substrates were incubated with rat liver microsomes. Specific CYP isoform activities were determined by using HPLC. CYP chemical inhibitors added to the incubation mixture were used to investigate the principal CYP isoforms involved in PTS metabolism. The effect of PTS on CYP isoforms was investigated by incubating PTS with specific substrates. The groups treated with 33 and 99 mg/kg per d PTS, respectively, had a total CYP content of 0.66+/-0.17 and 0.60+/-0.12 nmol/mg. The K(m) and V(max) were 92.2 umol/L and 0.0137 nmol/min per mg protein. CYP2C7, CYP2D1 and CYP3A2 might contribute to PTS metabolism in the rat liver. The inhibitory effects of sulfaphenazole and ketoconazole on PTS metabolism were shown to have a mixed mechanism, whereas PTS metabolism was inhibited noncompetitively by quinidine. PTS had little effect on the activities of the selected CYP isoforms. Generally speaking, it is relatively safe for PTS to be co-administered with other drugs. However, care should be taken when administering PTS with CYP inhibitors and the substrates of CYP2C, CYP2D and CYP3A.

Aim of this study was to investigate liver metabolism of with regard to para toluene-sulfonamide (PTS), CYP isoforms, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and drug interactions. Known substrates, inducers and inhibitors of CYP and inhibitor of P-gp were employed and metabolites were determined with HPLC. Male Wistar rats were pretreated with ip phenobarbital (PB), ketoconazole (Ket), or verapamil (Ver) for 3 days and in situ liver perfusion of PTS was conducted in a recirculation system. Rats were also pretreated with ip PTS (33 mg/kg/day or PTS 99 mg/kg/day) for 4 days before liver perfusions with dextromethorphan (Dex) and phenacetin (Phe) preparations were conducted. Microsome incubation was used to investigate PTS effect on five CYP isoforms and PTS-drug interactions probability with phyllotoxin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in vitro. PTS at 60 min perfusates had areas of 61.4% and 133.6% of the blank control in PB group and Ket group, respectively. The result that PTS metabolism was enhanced by PB and inhibited by Ket treatments suggested liver CYP was attributed to PTS metabolism. PTS mg/kg/day pretreatment slowed down the metabolism of Dex and Phe while in vitro incubations did not show a PTS (0-160 umol/L) effect on CYP activities. PTS metabolite formation when co-incubated with phyllotoxin was 50.7% of the negative control. The potent inhibitory ability of phyllotoxin to PTS requires further clinical investigation regarding in concomitant administration.
