Noda Y, Koga Y, Yamamura K, Miyata J, Hamada Y, Ohga S. Cyclophosphamide exposure factors in family caregivers for pediatric cancer patients. Int J Hyg Environ Health 2024; 260:114402. [PMID: 38870739 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2024.114402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
The exposure of family caregivers to anticancer drugs for pediatric patients with malignancy is a potential health risk that needs to be minimized. We monitored the amount of cyclophosphamide (CPM) that had adhered to the undershirts of patients and the personal protective equipment (PPE) of family caregivers as well as the caregivers' urine levels of CPM within the first three days after the first and second courses of high-dose CPM therapy. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) detected >0.03 ng/ml of CPM in 26% (23/88) of urine samples from 8 of 11 (72.7%) patients' family caregivers, with a peak of 0.7 ng/ml from 24 to 48 h after administration. Since urine CPM concentrations in family caregivers varied after the first and second courses, the exposure risk factors were analyzed by scoring the PPE-wearing time index (caring minutes × PPE points from wearing masks, gloves, and/or gowns) and CPM adhesion of PPE items with the caring patterns of diaper change, washing body care, oral care, eating assistance, emotional support, and co-sleeping. The closest association was observed for CPM adhesion between oral care gloves and undershirts (correlation coefficient 0.67, p = 0.001). The mixed-effect model analysis indicated only a significant correlation between the PPE-wearing time index and emotional care (playing, cuddling, and physical contact) (p = 0.016). These results suggest that prolonged emotional support results in poor PPE protection, which increases the risk of exposure in family caregivers. Strict PPE care within 48 h after high-dose CPM controls the exposure to high-risk anticancer drugs in caregivers of pediatric patients.

An Automated Micro Solid-Phase Extraction (μSPE) Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Method for Cyclophosphamide and Iphosphamide: Biological Monitoring in Antineoplastic Drug (AD) Occupational Exposure. Molecules 2024; 29:638. [PMID: 38338382 PMCID: PMC10856084 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29030638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite the considerable steps taken in the last decade in the context of antineoplastic drug (AD) handling procedures, their mutagenic effect still poses a threat to healthcare personnel actively involved in compounding and administration units. Biological monitoring procedures usually require large volumes of sample and extraction solvents, or do not provide adequate sensitivity. It is here proposed a fast and automated method to evaluate the urinary levels of cyclophosphamide and iphosphamide, composed of a miniaturized solid phase extraction (µSPE) followed by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis. The extraction procedure, developed through design of experiments (DoE) on the ePrep One Workstation, required a total time of 9.5 min per sample, with recoveries of 77-79% and a solvent consumption lower than 1.5 mL per 1 mL of urine sample. Thanks to the UHPLC-MS/MS method, the limits of quantification (LOQ) obtained were lower than 10 pg/mL. The analytical procedure was successfully applied to 23 urine samples from compounding wards of four Italian hospitals, which resulted in contaminations between 27 and 182 pg/mL.

Abstract
In the current study, one of the outstanding facile and simple protocols is proposed for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) using NaBH4 as a reducing agent and p-tetranitrocalix[4]arene (p-TNC4) as a capping agent. According to our knowledge, no such technique is available in the literature for colorimetric detection of cyclophosphamide (CPA) using CuNPs at the trace level. The well-organized synthesis was confirmed via advanced spectroscopic techniques. The crystallite size, shape, phase purity, and morphological characteristics were determined via XRD, AFM, FT-IR, and UV-visible spectroscopy. At the optimal conditions for CPA detection, the sensor reveals an excellent sensitivity, selectivity, as well as stability with LOD and LOQ 20 nM and 60 nM, respectively. However, the proposed sensor showed excellent potential and selectivity for the sensing of colorimetric detection of CPA that can be effectively applied to real blood serum samples. The proposed approach is better suited as compared to reported protocols in terms of handling, simplicity, economic, energy consumption, reproducibility, and excellent performance in a very short time.

Abstract
Water is an indispensable natural resource and is the most vital substance for the existence of life on earth. However, due to anthropogenic activities, it is being polluted at an alarming rate which has led to serious concern about water shortage across the world. Moreover, toxic contaminants released into water bodies from various industrial and domestic activities negatively affect aquatic and terrestrial organisms and cause serious diseases such as cancer, renal problems, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and nausea in humans. Therefore, water treatments that can eliminate toxins are very crucial. Unfortunately, pollution treatment remains a difficulty when four broad considerations are taken into account: effectiveness, reusability, environmental friendliness, and affordability. In this situation, protecting water from contamination or creating affordable remedial techniques has become a serious issue. Although traditional wastewater treatment technologies have existed since antiquity, they are both expensive and inefficient. Nowadays, advanced sustainable technical approaches are being created to replace traditional wastewater treatment processes. The present study reviews the sources, toxicity, and possible remediation techniques of the water contaminants.

Abstract
Epirubicin is prescribed as an essential drug for treating breast, prostate, uterine, and gastrointestinal cancers. It has many side effects, such as heart failure, mouth inflammation, abdominal pain, fever, and shortness of breath. Its measurement is necessary by straightforward and cheap methods. The application of aptamer-based electrochemical sensors is accounted as a selective option for measuring different compounds. In this work, a thiol-modified aptamer was self-assembled on the surface of the gold electrode (AuE) boosted with carbon nano-onions (CNOs), and coupled with methylene blue (MB) as an electroactive tracker to achieve a sensitive and selective aptasensor. In the absence of the epirubicin, CNOs binds to the aptamer through a π-π interaction enhancing the MB electrochemical signal. When epirubicin binds to the aptamer, the adsorption of CNOs and MB to the aptamer is not well established, so the electrochemical signal is reduced, consequently, the epirubicin value can be measured. The prepared aptasensor demonstrated an excellent sensitivity with a curve slope of 0.36 μI/nM, and 3 nM limit of detection in the linear concentration range of 1-75 nM. The prepared aptasensor was accurately capable of measuring epirubicin in blood serum samples.

Abstract
In this paper, an aluminum-based metal-organic framework (MIL-53(Al)-NH2) was synthesized and employed as a well-known and efficient dispersive microsolid-phase extraction (Dμ-SPE) sorbent for reliable determination of cyclophosphamide in urine samples by the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. The synthesized MIL-53(Al)-NH2 was characterized by FT-IR, PXRD, FE-SEM, and EDS for more details. Then, the effective parameters of the preconcentration and extraction of urinary cyclophosphamide including the amount of the solid sorbent, the pH of the sample, sample volume, extraction and desorption time, and the type and volume of elution solvent were thoroughly investigated and optimized. According to the results, a linear dynamic range of 0.14-120 μg mL-1 with a good correlation coefficient (R 2 = 0.998) and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 μg mL-1 were obtained with intra- and interday relative standard deviations (n = 9) of 3.13 and 3.99% in optimized conditions, respectively. Furthermore, the absolute recovery of urinary cyclophosphamide at three concentrations (0.5, 50.0, and 100.0 μg mL-1) was 94.0%. Finally, the optimal condition of the developed method was successfully applied to the extraction and analysis of cyclophosphamide from the real urine samples with satisfactory recovery (94.0-97.0%) and acceptable precision (<4.1%). The findings proved that MIL-53(Al)-NH2 can be utilized as a suitable adsorbent for highly reliable extraction of cyclophosphamide in biological matrices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many guidelines and safety measures led to a decrease in exposure to antineoplastic agents. Since healthcare workers are often exposed to lower concentrations than patients, a sensitive method is needed to quantify occupational exposure. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and validate a sensitive method for simultaneous detection and quantification of cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide and paclitaxel in urine by use of UPLC-MS/MS with a UniSpray ionisation source. METHODS Compounds were extracted from urine using Novum simplified liquid extraction cartridges, separated on a C18 column, ionised by a UniSpray ionisation source and detected with MS/MS. In the second part of the study, a field study was performed to assess occupational exposure to antineoplastic agents. RESULTS Eighty-three samples from healthcare workers were analysed and resulted in seventeen samples containing quantifiable concentrations of at least one compound. In conclusion, a sensitive method for simultaneous detection and quantification of cyclophosphamide (LLOQ 0.05 ng/mL), ifosfamide (LLOQ 0.3 ng/mL) and paclitaxel (LLOQ 0.7 ng/mL) was developed and validated.

Abstract
Epirubicin (EPI) is one of the standard anticancer drugs that apply for various cancers treatment. However, the accumulation of EPI in the human body can be highly toxic, and it causes inevitable harm to organs. As a result, the evaluation of low concentrations of this drug in body samples requires sensitive, rapid, and accurate analysis methods. The fluorescence method is an efficient way in comparison of the traditional methods such as liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and electrochemical methods. Herein, we synthesized a novel fluorescence nanosensor named CMC-CdTe/ZnS based on using quantum dots (QDs). The structure of the prepared nanosensor is confirmed by different analysis methods such as FT-IR, TGA, and TEM. Besides that, the fluorescence intensity response of CMC-CdTe/ZnS QDs in the presence of Epirubicin drug is investigated. Based on obtained results, not only this nanosensor developed, but also the fluorescence quenching was explained by the typical Stern-Volmer equation. The best linear quenching equation for entitled nanosensor in the presence of Epirubicin is F0/F = 0.0346Q + 1.08 (R2 = 0.99), and the detection limit of Epirubicin is around 0.04 × 10-6 mol/L at 25 °C. All of the results display that this method could be reliable and suitable approach for determination of Epirubicin in commercial samples as well.

Abstract
This report presents improved analysis methods of daunorubicin (DAUN) and its metabolite daunorubicinol (DAUNOL) in small volumes of plasma, as total and unbound concentrations, as well as in urine. This study also presents the pharmacokinetics of DAUN and DAUNOL in patients (n = 12) diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia treated with intravenous DAUN (60 mg/m2/day, for three days). Serial blood and urine samples were collected up to 144 h after the beginning of the first infusion. The analytical methods presented no significant matrix effect. The linear ranges were 0.1-1000 ng/mL in plasma, 0.05-40 ng/mL in ultrafiltrate and 0.5-3000 ng/ml in urine. The precision and accuracy presented coefficients of variation and standard errors lower than 15 % in the three matrices. The methods allowed for the quantification of samples up to 144 h after the beginning of the first infusion. Unbound fractions for DAUN and DAUNOL were 23.91 % (17.33-32.99) and 29.23 % (25.84-33.07), respectively. The fraction recovered in urine was 4.40 % (3.87-5.03) for DAUN and 7.91 % (6.86-9.19) for DAUNOL. Total 292.96 L/h (261.74-327.90), renal 13.01 L/h (11.44-14.88), and hepatic 280.26 L/h (248.40-317.91) clearances of DAUN, as well as the DAUNOL formation clearance 23.41 L/h (19.09-28.97), were evaluated.

A 96-Monolithic inorganic hollow fiber array as a new geometry for high throughput solid-phase microextraction of doxorubicin in water and human urine samples coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1627:461413. [PMID: 32823111 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2020.461413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Revised: 06/13/2020] [Accepted: 07/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Innovations in extraction phases, extraction modes and hyphenated instrument configurations, are the most important issues to address for progress in the solid phase microextraction (SPME) methodology. In this regard, we have embarked on the development of a novel biocompatible 96-monolithic inorganic hollow fiber (96-MIHF) array as a new configuration for high-throughput SPME on a 96-well plate system. An arrangement of highly ordered 96 titania/Hydroxyapatite (TiO2/HAP) nanocomposite hollow fibers and corresponding stainless-steel needles on a Teflon plate holder were used as the extraction module. The inorganic hollow fibers were prepared via a rapid and reproducible template approach (Polypropylene hollow fiber) in combination with a sol-gel method in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), as a network maker. The hollow fiber-shape sorbents were obtained with excellent precision by weight (RSD% = 4.98, n = 10) and length (RSD% = 1.08, n = 10) criteria. The proposed design can overcome a number of geometrically dependent drawbacks of conventional high-throughput SPME methods, mainly the ones related to sorbent amount and surface area due to possessing inner/outer surfaces without additional internal supports. The SPME platform, for the first time, was successfully applied for the extraction and preconcentration of doxorubicin from urine and water media without requiring sample preparation and free from significant matrix effect. The extracted analyte was analyzed by liquid chromatography-ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Highly satisfactory analytical figures of merit were obtained under optimized conditions. The limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) and linearity of determination were 0.1 ng mL-1, 0.25 ng mL-1 and 0.25 to 4000 ng mL-1, respectively. The interday, intraday and inter sorbent precisions for three concentration levels ranged from 2.01 to 8.09 % (n = 3), 1.02 to 8.65 % (n = 5) and 0.99 to 1.02% (n = 15), respectively. The mean intra-well RSD value for 96 individual wells in 96-MIHF-SPME-LC-MS/MS (n = 3) at the medium concentration level was 7.81%.

Abstract
Quantitation of drugs used for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in various biological matrices during both pre-clinical and clinical developments is very important, often in routine therapeutic drug monitoring. The first developed methods for quantitation were traditionally done on LC in combination with either UV or fluorescence detection. However, the emergence of LC with mass spectrometry in tandem in early 1990s has revolutionized the quantitation as it has provided better sensitivity and selectivity within a shorter run time; therefore it has become the choice of method for the analysis of various drugs. In this article, an overview of various bioanalytical methods (HPLC or LC-MS/MS) for the quantification of drugs for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, along with applicability of these methods, is given.

Abstract
We describe here an Nd3+-sensitized upconversion fluorescent sensor for epirubicin (EPI) detection in aqueous solutions under 808 nm laser excitation. The upconversion fluorescence of nanoparticles is effectively quenched in the presence of EPI via a fluorescence resonance energy transfer mechanism. The dynamic quenching constant was 2.10 × 104 M−1. Normalized fluorescence intensity increased linearly as the EPI concentration was raised from 0.09 μM to 189.66 μM and the fluorometric detection limit was 0.05 μM. The sensing method was simple, fast, and low-cost and was able to be applied to determine the levels of EPI in urine with spike recoveries from 97.5% to 102.6%. Another important feature of the proposed fluorescent sensor is that it holds a promising potential for in vivo imaging and detection due to its distinctive properties such as weak autofluorescence, low heating effect, and high light penetration depth.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline widely used in treatments of several cancers, so it has found in hospital effluents with a significant concentration (above 1 μg L-1). Electrochemical remediation is an alternative to promote its degradation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of nanostructured graphite electrodes with metallic oxides to degrade DOX by electro-oxidation (EO). Graphite, TiO2@graphite and AuO-TiO2@graphite electrodes were used in medium with tap water or 10 mmol L-1 NaCl. DOX treatments at concentrations of 1.25-5 mg L-1 were carried out in a voltage source with 1.5-5 V. The cathode used was the platinum electrode. The treatment of DOX 1.25 mg L-1 with 10 mmol L-1 NaCl electrolyte using the AuO-TiO2@graphite electrode at 5 V and 1 mA was the best methodology to promote its degradation. Also, the modified electrode was efficient to DOX degradation after 17 cycles of reuse. An energy expenditure of 1.11 and 0.2 kWh m-3 were obtained for 3 and 50 mL of treatment, respectively. Fish embryo acute toxicity test with zebrafish (Danio rerio) were performed before and after treatment by EO using NaCl. This treatment caused no effect on embryo-larval development, however it induced significant damage in the DNA of the zebrafish larvae after 96 h of exposure, which emphasizes the importance of a depth ecotoxicological evaluation during the development of EO methodologies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite safe handling guidelines published by several groups, health care worker exposure to hazardous drugs continues to occur due to suboptimal engineering controls and low use of protective equipment. Simple, multi-target and specific analytical methods are needed so that acute exposures to these drugs in the workplace can be assessed rapidly. Our aim was to develop an analytical method for simultaneous detection and quantification of widely used cancer drugs to rule out accidental acute chemotherapy exposures in health care workers. METHODS We examined the feasibility of alternate high-performance liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometry methods to simultaneously detect eighteen chemotherapy analytes in plasma and urine. The linear concentration ranges tested during assay development were 0.1-50 ng/mL. After development of a multi-analyte assay protocol, plasma samples (n = 743) from a multi-center cluster-randomized clinical trial (n = 12 sites) of an hazardous drug educational intervention were assayed. Confirmatory assays were performed based on the individual acute-spill case-histories. RESULTS An innovative HPLC-multiple reaction monitoring-information dependent acquisition-enhanced production ion (MRM-IDA-EPI) analytical method was developed to simultaneously detect: cytarabine, gemcitabine, dacarbazine, methotrexate, topotecan, mitomycin, pemetrexed, irinotecan, doxorubicin, vincristine, vinblastine, ifosamide, cyclophosphamide, vinorelbine, bendamustine, etoposide, docetaxel, and paclitaxel. The retention times ranged from 4 min to 13 min for the analytical run. The limit of detection (MRM-IDA-EPI) and limit of quantitation (MRM) was 0.25 ng/mL and 0.1 ng/mL, respectively for most analytes. No detectable plasma concentrations were measured at baseline, post-intervention and in cases of documented acute spills. Use of a secondary tandem mass spectrometry approach was able to successfully rule out false positive results. CONCLUSIONS Development of a sensitive high-throughput multi-analyte cancer chemotherapy assay is feasible using an MRM-IDA-EPI method. This method can be used to rapidly rule out systemic exposure to accidental acute chemotherapy spills in health care workers.

Abstract
The detection of pharmaceuticals in water and wastewater has triggered human and ecological health concerns. As highly toxic compounds, chemotherapy agents (CAs), such as the cyclophosphamide (CYP) and ifosfamide (IFO) structural isomers, represent a unique threat. This research elucidated the fate of CYP and IFO during ozonation and advanced oxidation by hydroxyl radicals (HO•). Novel semi-batch reactors were used to determine the second-order rate constants for CYP and IFO with O3 and HO•. These reactors provided independent control of the oxidant exposure through continuous and constant aqueous ozone and peroxone (O3-H2O2) addition. The rate constants for transformation of CYP and IFO by ozone were 2.58 ± 0.40 M-1s-1 and 6.95 ± 0.21 M-1s-1, respectively, indicating that ozone alone is not suitable for treating CAs. Transformation of CYP and IFO by hydroxyl radicals was fast, with rate constants of 2.69(±0.17)×109 M-1s-1 and 2.73(±0.16)×109 M-1s-1, respectively. The major transformation products formed by O3 and HO attack consisted of the 4-hydroxy-, 4-keto-, dechloroethyl-, and imino- derivatives of CYP and IFO. Low yields of the active metabolites of the CAs, namely phosphoramide mustard and isophosphoramide mustard, were detected. These findings suggest that treated water may retain the ability to alkylate DNA and confer toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Daunorubicin hydrochloride (DAUN·HCl), due to low oral bioavailability poses the hindrance to be marketed as an oral formulation. AIM OF THE STUDY To develop a natural biodegradable macromolecule i.e. Chitosan (CS)-coated-DAUN-PLGA-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-Nanoparticles (NPs) with an aim to improve oral-DAUN bioavailability and to develop as well as validate UHPLC-MS/MS (ESI/Q-TOF) method for plasma quantification and pharmacokinetic analysis (PK) of DAUN. RESULTS A particle size (198.3 ± 9.21 nm), drug content (47.06 ± 1.16 mg/mg) and zeta potential (11.3 ± 0.98 mV), consisting of smooth and spherical shape was observed for developed formulation. Cytotoxicity studies for CS-DAUN-PLGA-NPs revealed; a comparative superiority over free DAUN-S (i.v.) in human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MCF-7) and a higher permeability i.e. 3.89 folds across rat ileum, as compared to DAUN-PLGA-NPs (p < 0.01) inhuman colon adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco-2). For PK, CS-DAUN-PLGA-NPs as compared to DAUN-S, exhibited a 10.0 fold higher bioavailability in Wister rat's plasma due to presence of a natural biodegradable macromolecule i.e. CS coated on the PLGA-NPs. With regard to bioanalytical method, easy as well as a rapid method for DAUN-plasma quantification was developed as; 2.75 min and 528.49/321.54 m/z for DAUN along with 1.94 min and 544.36/397.41 m/z for IS i.e. Doxorubicin, for elution time and transition, respectively. CONCLUSION A novel natural biodegradable approach used in the preparation of CS coated DAUN-NPs for oral administration of DAUN is reported in this study which is can be utilized as an alternate for intravenous therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Healthcare workers who prepare or administer cytotoxic agents run the risk of exposure, and the risks for health are real even at doses lower than those applied in cancer patients, because, in theory, no dose is safe. The most common and problematic route of exposure is through the skin, especially as work surfaces can remain contaminated even after cleaning. This pilot study aimed to demonstrate the importance of having an effective surface decontamination protocol by determining surface contamination with cyclophosphamide, 5-fluorouracil, and paclitaxel as the most common cytotoxic drugs in an oncology day service. Samples were collected before and after drug handling and analysed with high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). Of the 29 samples collected before drug handling 23 were contaminated, five of which with more than one drug. Of the 30 samples collected after drug handling 25 were contaminated, eight of which with more than one drug. The two time points did not significantly differ, which evidences a widespread contamination and ineffective cleaning. This calls for revising the cleaning protocol and handling procedure to place contamination under control as much as possible.

Abstract
Background Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl), an anthracycline glycoside antibiotic, exhibits low oral bioavailability due to active efflux from intestinal P-glycoprotein receptors. The oral administration of DOX remains a challenge hence; no oral formulation for DOX is marketed, till date. Aim of the study To improve the oral bioavailability of DOX through, preparation of a nanoformulation i.e. PEGylated-doxorubicin(DOX)-loaded-poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-Nanoparticles (NPs) and to develop and validate an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization-synapt mass spectrometric bioanalytical method (UHPLC/ESI-QTOF–MS/MS) for plasma (Wistar rats) DOX quantification. Materials and methods For chromatography, Waters ACQUITY UPLC™ along with a BEH C-18 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm; 1.7 μm), mobile phase conditions (acetonitrile: 0.1% formic acid::1:1 v/v) and flow rate (0.20 ml/min) was used. For analyte recovery from rat plasma, a liquid–liquid extraction method (LLE), using Acetonitrile: 5 mM ammonium acetate in a ratio of 6:4 v/v at pH 3.5, was used. Results Nanoformulation with a particle size (183.10 ± 7.41 nm), zeta potential (− 13.10 ± 1.04 mV), drug content (42.69 ± 1.97 µg/mg) and a spherical shape and smooth surface was developed. An elution time of 1.61 and 1.75 min along with a transition at m/z 544.42/397.27 and 528.46/321.41 were observed for DOX and internal standard (IS) Daunorubicin, respectively. In addition, a linear dynamic range with r2 ≥ 0.9985 over a concentration range of 1.00–2500.0 ng/ml was observed for different processes and parameters used in the study. Similarly a marked improvement i.e. 6.8 fold was observed, in PEGylated-DOX-PLGA-NPs as compared to DOX-S, in pharmacokinetics studies. Conclusion The promising approach of PEGylated-DOX-PLGA-NPs may provide an alternate to intravenous therapy for better patient care.

A UHPLC-MS/MS-based method for the simultaneous monitoring of eight antiblastic drugs in plasma and urine of exposed healthcare workers. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2018; 154:245-251. [PMID: 29558725 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2018.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2018] [Revised: 02/26/2018] [Accepted: 03/12/2018] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Exposure of healthcare workers to anticancer drugs requires the combined action of environmental and biological monitoring to assess the effective level of exposure to these chemicals, to improve awareness and to avoid adverse health effects on this category of workers. Cancer chemotherapeutic drugs show different mechanisms of action due to diverse chemical structures; consequently, they differ in hydrophobicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Therefore, the appearance, accumulation and elimination of each of these molecules in body fluids and tissues might be extremely variable; this prompts the need for a rapid and versatile analytical protocol for the biological monitoring of possible exposure of workers involved in the manipulation, administration and disposal of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. In this paper we describe the development, optimization and validation of a UHPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quasi-quantitative analysis of eight widely used antineoplastic drugs, which can be used for the analysis of both urine and blood samples. This methodology was applied to the biological monitoring of healthcare workers exposed to different extents to antiblastic drugs at the University Hospital "San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d'Aragona" in Salerno (Italy), and allowed to identify two subjects exposed to irinotecan out of a total of fifteen workers analyzed.

Abstract
Cytostatic drugs are highly cytotoxic agents used in cancer treatment and although their benefit is unquestionable, they have been recognized as hazardous to healthcare professionals in occupational settings. In a working environment, simultaneous exposure to cytostatics may occur creating a higher risk than that of a single substance. Hence, the present study evaluated the combined cyto/genotoxicity of a mixture of selected cytostatics with different mechanisms of action (MoA; 5-fluorouracil, cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel) towards human lymphocytes in vitro at a concentration range relevant for occupational as well as environmental exposure. The results suggest that the selected cytostatic drug mixture is potentially cyto/genotoxic and that it can induce cell and genome damage even at low concentrations. This indicates not only that such mixture may pose a risk to cell and genome integrity, but also that single compound toxicity data are not sufficient for the prediction of toxicity in a complex working environment. The presence of drugs in different amounts and with different MoA suggests the need to study the relationship between the presence of genotoxic components in the mixture and the resulting effects, taking into account the MoA of each component by itself. Therefore, this study provides new data sets necessary for scientifically-based risk assessments of cytostatic drug mixtures in occupational as well as environmental settings.

Abstract
Hematotoxicity is a life-threatening side effect of many chemotherapy regimens. While clinical factors influence patient responses, genetic factors may also play an important role. We sought to identify genomic loci that influence chemotherapy-induced hematotoxicity by dosing Diversity Outbred mice with one of three chemotherapy drugs; doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide or docetaxel. We observed that each drug had a distinct effect on both the changes in blood cell sub-populations and the underlying genetic architecture of hematotoxicity. For doxorubicin, we mapped the change in cell counts before and after dosing and found that alleles of ATP-binding cassette B1B (Abcb1b) on chromosome 5 influence all cell populations. For cyclophosphamide and docetaxel, we found that each cell population was influenced by distinct loci, none of which overlapped between drugs. These results suggest that susceptibility to chemotherapy-induced hematotoxicity is influenced by different genes for different chemotherapy drugs.

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2016; 1038:S1570-0232(16)31088-1.

Abstract
Highly sensitive ESI-LC-MS/MS methods were developed for urinary biological monitoring of occupational exposure to cyclophosphamide (CP), ifosfamide (IF), and methotrexate (MTX), which are hazardous antineoplastic drugs frequently handled by healthcare professionals. Extraction methods consisted of liquid/liquid extraction for simultaneous urinary CP and IF assays, and of solid phase extraction for the urinary MTX assay. A good linearity (r2>0.997), precision (CV<14.6%), and accuracy (bias<9.9%) were achieved for all compounds. The limit of detection (LOD) was 10pg/ml and the lower limit of quantification (LOQ) was 20pg/ml for all three drugs. Applying these methods in routine, more than 116 healthcare professionals occupationally exposed to antineoplastic drugs were monitored and 635 urines were analysed. Eleven healthcare professionals (9.5%) were found to be contaminated to at least one of the three antineoplastic drugs. Among analysed urines, 22 samples were found positives. The measured concentrations ranged from 20.1 to 1850pg/ml and, for six samples, concentrations were at CP trace level, between the LOD and LOQ values (10-20pg/ml). Such efficient analytical tools combining high specificity with high sensitivity are essential for reliable detection and routine biological monitoring of healthcare professionals occupationally exposed to these widely used antineoplastic drugs. These methods allow to monitor the healthcare professionals exposure to antineoplastic drugs in the aim to assess the effectiveness of collective and individual protective measures.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of combined use of transarterial chemoembolization and irreversible electroporation (IRE) for focal tissue ablation in an acute porcine liver model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two established interventional techniques were combined: IRE with zones of irreversible and reversible electroporation and chemoembolization with microspheres, iodized oil, and doxorubicin. IRE was performed before chemoembolization in two pigs (pigs 1 and 2; IRE/chemoembolization group), chemoembolization was performed before IRE in two pigs (pigs 3 and 4; chemoembolization/IRE group), and only IRE was performed in two pigs (pigs 5 and 6). Five study groups were defined: IRE/chemoembolization (pigs 1 and 2), chemoembolization/IRE (pigs 3 and 4), IRE only (pigs 5 and 6), chemoembolization only (tissue outside the IRE zones in pigs 1-4), and control (untreated liver tissue outside the IRE zones in pigs 5 and 6). Animals were euthanized 2 hours after intervention. Size and shape of IRE zones on contrast-enhanced computed tomography, cell death on light microscopy, and doxorubicin tissue concentrations on chromatography and fluorescence microscopy were analyzed. RESULTS Size and shape of IRE zones were not significantly different (eg, P = .067 for volume). A histologic marker for irreversible cell death was positive in IRE/chemoembolization, chemoembolization/IRE, and IRE groups only in the macroscopically visible IRE zones. Doxorubicin tissue concentrations were not significantly different (P = .873). However, in the reversible electroporation (RE) zones, broad areas with intense intranuclear doxorubicin accumulation were observed in IRE/chemoembolization but not in chemoembolization/IRE and chemoembolization groups. CONCLUSIONS IRE before chemoembolization enhances the intranuclear accumulation of doxorubicin in the RE zone.

Abstract
Normalization of the tumor microenvironment is a promising approach to render conventional chemotherapy more effective. Although passively targeted drug nanocarriers have been investigated to this end, actively targeted tumor priming remains to be explored. In this work, we demonstrate an effective tumor priming strategy using metronomic application of nanoparticles actively targeted to tumor neovasculature. F56 peptide-conjugated paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles (F56-PTX-NP) were formulated from PEGylated polylactide using an oil in water emulsion approach. Metronomic F56-PTX-NP specifically targeted tumor vascular endothelial cells (ECs), pruned vessels with strong antiangiogenic activity and induced thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) secretion from ECs. The treatment induced tumor vasculature normalization as evidenced by significantly increased coverage of basement membrane and pericytes. The tumor microenvironment was altered with enhanced pO2, lower interstitial fluid pressure, and enhanced vascular perfusion and doxorubicin delivery. A "normalization window" of at least 9 days was induced, which was longer than other approaches using antiangiogenic agents. Together, these results show that metronomic, actively-targeted nanomedicine can induce tumor vascular normalization and modulate the tumor microenvironment, opening a window of opportunity for effective combination chemotherapies.

The leaching behavior of cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide from soil in the presence of co-contaminant--Mixture sorption approach. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2016; 542:915-922. [PMID: 26562339 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2015] [Revised: 10/28/2015] [Accepted: 11/01/2015] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Anticancer drugs (ACDs) exhibit high biological activity, they are cytotoxic, genotoxic, and are constantly released into the environment as a result of incomplete metabolism. Consequently they pose a serious threat to the environment and human health due to their carcinogenic, mutagenic and/or reproductive toxicity properties. Knowledge of their bioavailability, including their sorption to soils and their impact on the soil-groundwater pathway, is crucial for their risk assessment. Laboratory batch and column leaching tests are important tools for determining the release potential of contaminants from soil or waste material. Batch and column tests were carried out with soils differing in physicochemical properties, each spiked with cyclophosphamide (CK) or ifosfamide (IF). Moreover, due to the fact that environmental pollutants may occur as coexisting compounds in the soil the mobility evaluation for ACDs in the mixture with metoprolol (MET; β-blocker) as a co-contaminant was performed. In order to assess appropriateness, the batch and column tests were compared. The release depended on the properties of both the soil and the presence of co-contaminants. The faster release was observed for coarse-grained soil with the smallest organic matter content (MS soil: 90% decrease in concentration until liquid-to-solid ratio (L/S) of 0.3 L kg(-1) for all tests' layout) than for loamy sand (LS soil: 90% decrease in concentration until ratio L/S of 0.75 L kg(-1)). ACDs are highly mobile in soil systems. Furthermore, the decrease of mobility of ifosfamide was observed with the presence of a co-contaminant (metoprolol) in both of the soils (in MS soil a decrease of 29%; in LS soil a decrease of 26%). The mobility of cyclophosphamide does not depend on the presence of a contaminant for MS soil, but also exhibits a decrease of 21% in LS soil.

Determination of six chemotherapeutic agents in municipal wastewater using online solid-phase extraction coupled to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2014; 487:792-800.

Abstract
Due to the increased consumption of chemotherapeutic agents, their high toxicity, carcinogenicity, their occurrence in the aquatic environment must be properly evaluated. An analytical method based on online solid-phase extraction coupled to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated. A 1 mL injection volume was used to quantify six of the most widely used cytotoxic drugs (cyclophosphamide, gemcitabine, ifosfamide, methotrexate, irinotecan and epirubicin) in municipal wastewater. The method was validated using standard additions. The validation results in wastewater influent had coefficients of determination (R(2)) between 0.983 and 0.998 and intra-day precision ranging from 7 to 13% (expressed as relative standard deviation %RSD), and from 9 to 23% for inter-day precision. Limits of detection ranged from 4 to 20 ng L(-1) while recovery values were greater than 70% except for gemcitabine, which is the most hydrophilic compound in the selected group and had a recovery of 47%. Matrix effects were interpreted by signal suppression and ranged from 55 to 118% with cyclophosphamide having the highest value. Two of the target anticancer drugs (cyclophosphamide and methotrexate) were detected and quantified in wastewater (effluent and influent) and ranged from 13 to 60 ng L(-1). The proposed method thus allows proper monitoring of potential environmental releases of chemotherapy agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hazardous drug residue on the exterior surface of drug vials poses a potential risk for exposure of health care workers involved in handling these products. The purpose of this article is to heighten the awareness of this serious issue and to evaluate a commercial manufacturing process for removing and containing hazardous drug (HD) residue on exterior vial surfaces. Additionally, findings from this study are interpreted, incorporated into the current body of evidence, and discussed by experts in this field. METHODS This study includes separate evaluations for the presence or absence of surface drug contamination on the vials of 3 HD products: 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, and methotrexate. The drug products were packaged in vials using a patented prewashing/decontamination method, application of a polyvinylchloride (PVC) base, and use of clear glass vials. An additional step of encasing the vial in a shrink-wrapped sheath was used for 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin. RESULTS Of all 5-fluorouracil (110 vials), methotrexate (60 vials), and cisplatin (60 vials) tested, only 2 had detectable amounts of surface residue. One 5-fluorouracil vial was found to have approximately 4 mg of 5-fluorouracil on the surface of the vial. The second contaminated vial was cisplatin, which was discovered to have 131 ng of platinum, equal to 200 ng of cisplatin or 0.2 μL of cisplatin solution, on the vial sheath. CONCLUSION Using validated extraction and analytic methods, all but 2 of the 230 tested vials were found to be free of surface drug contamination. Pharmacy leaders need to take an active role in promoting the need for clean HD vials. Manufacturers should be required to provide their clients with data derived from externally validated analytic studies, reporting the level of HD contamination on the exterior of their vial products.

Abstract
We have been examining the issue of healthcare workers' exposure to antineoplastic drugs for nearly a decade and have observed that there appears to be more publications on the subject matter originating from Europe than from North America. The concern is that findings from Europe may not be generalizable to North America because of differences in handling practices, regulatory requirements, and training. Our objective was to perform a literature review to confirm our observation and, in turn, identify gaps in knowledge that warrants addressing in North America. Using select keywords, we searched for publications in PubMed and Web of Science. All papers were initially classified according to the originating continent and then categorized into one or more subject categories (analytical methods, biological monitoring, occupational exposure, surface contamination, and probability of risk/exposure). Our review identified 16 papers originating from North America and 55 papers from Europe with surface contamination being the subject matter most often studied overall. Based on our results, we are of the opinion that North American researchers need to further conduct dermal and/or urinary drug contamination studies as well as assess the exposure risk faced by healthcare workers who handle antineoplastic drugs. Trends in exposure levels should also be explored.

Abstract
Anticancer drugs routinely used in chemotherapy enter wastewater through the excretion of the non-metabolised drug following administration to patients. This study considers the consumption and subsequent behaviour and occurrence of these chemicals in aquatic systems, with the aim of prioritising a selection of these drugs which are likely to persist in the environment and hence be considered for environmental screening programmes. Accurate consumption data were compiled from a hospital survey in NW England and combined with urinary excretion rates derived from clinical studies. Physical-chemical property data were compiled along with likely chemical fate and persistence during and after wastewater treatment. A shortlist of 15 chemicals (from 65) was prioritised based on their consumption, persistency and likelihood of occurrence in surface waters and supported by observational studies where possible. The ecological impact of these 'prioritised' chemicals is uncertain as the measured concentrations in surface waters generally fall below standard toxicity thresholds. Nonetheless, this prioritised sub-list should prove useful for developing environmental screening programmes.
