Abstract
Based on the electrochemical impedance method, a marker-free biosensor with aptamer as a biometric element was developed for the determination of doxorubicin (DOX). By combining aptamer with rigid tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) and fixing them on the surface of gold electrode (GE) as biometric elements, the density and directivity of surface nanoprobes improved, and DOX was captured with high sensitivity and specificity. DOX was captured by immobilized aptamers on the GE, which inhibited electron transfer between the GE and [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- in solution, resulting in a change in electrochemical impedance. When the DOX concentration was between 10.0 and 100.0 nM, the aptasensor showed a linear relationship with charge transfer resistance, the relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 3.6 to 5.9%, and the detection limit (LOD) was 3.0 nM. This technique offered a successful performance for the determination of the target analyte in serum samples with recovery in the range 97.0 to 99.6% and RSD ranged from 4.8 to 6.5%. This method displayed the advantages of fast response speed, good selectivity, and simple sensor structure and showed potential application in therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
The accurate and precise monitoring of epirubicin (EPR), one of the most widely used anticancer drugs, is significant for human and environmental health. In this context, we developed a highly sensitive electrochemical electrode for EPR detection based on nickel ferrite decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au@NiFe2O4) on the screen-printed electrode (SPE). Various spectral characteristic methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to investigate the surface morphology and structure of the synthesized Au@NiFe2O4 nanocomposite. The novel decorated electrode exhibited a high electrocatalytic activity toward the electrooxidation of EPR, and a nanomolar limit of detection (5.3 nM) was estimated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with linear concentration ranges from 0.01 to 0.7 and 0.7 to 3.6 µM. The stability, selectivity, repeatability reproducibility and reusability, with a very low electrode response detection limit, make it very appropriate for determining trace amounts of EPR in pharmaceutical and clinical preparations.

Sensitive Analysis of Idarubicin in Human Urine and Plasma by Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection: An Application in Drug Monitoring. Molecules 2020; 25:E5799.

Abstract
A new approach for the sensitive, robust and rapid determination of idarubicin (IDA) in human plasma and urine samples based on liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC-FL) was developed. Satisfactory chromatographic separation of the analyte after solid-phase extraction (SPE) was performed on a Discovery HS C18 analytical column using a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water as the mobile phase in isocratic mode. IDA and daunorubicin hydrochloride used as an internal standard (I.S.) were monitored at the excitation and emission wavelengths of 487 and 547 nm, respectively. The method was validated according to the FDA and ICH guidelines. The linearity was confirmed in the range of 0.1-50 ng/mL and 0.25-200 ng/mL, while the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.05 and 0.125 ng/mL in plasma and urine samples, respectively. The developed LC-FL method was successfully applied for drug determinations in human plasma and urine after oral administration of IDA at a dose of 10 mg to a patient with highly advanced alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMA). Moreover, the potential exposure to IDA present in both fluids for healthcare workers and the caregivers of patients has been evaluated. The present LC-FL method can be a useful tool in pharmacokinetic and clinical investigations, in the monitoring of chemotherapy containing IDA, as well as for sensitive and reliable IDA quantitation in biological fluids.

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.

The epigallocatechin gallate derivative Y6 reduces the cardiotoxicity and enhances the efficacy of daunorubicin against human hepatocellular carcinoma by inhibiting carbonyl reductase 1 expression. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 261:113118. [PMID: 32621953 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.113118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Revised: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/13/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Green tea is the most ancient and popular beverage worldwide and its main constituent epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has a potential role in the management of cancer through the modulation of cell signaling pathways. However, EGCG is frangible to oxidation and exhibits low lipid solubility and bioavailability, and we synthesized a derivative of EGCG in an attempt to overcome these limitations. AIM OF THE STUDY The anthracycline antibiotic daunorubicin (DNR) is a potent anticancer agent. However, its severe cardiotoxic limits its clinical efficacy. Human carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) is one of the most effective human reductases for producing hydroxyl metabolites and thus may be involved in increasing the cardiotoxicity and decreasing the antineoplastic effect of anthracycline antibiotics. Accordingly, in this study, we investigated the co-therapeutic effect of Y6, a novel and potent adjuvant obtained by optimization of the structure of EGCG. MATERIAL AND METHODS The cellular concentrations of DNR and its metabolite DNRol were measured by HPLC to determine the effects of EGCG and Y6 on the inhibition of DNRol formation. The cytotoxic effects of EGCG and Y6 were tested by MTT assay in order to identify non-toxic concentrations of them. To understand their antitumor and cardioprotective mechanisms, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and CBR1 protein expression was measured via Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining while gene expression was analyzed using RT-PCR. Moreover, PI3K/AKT and MEK/ERK signaling pathways were analyzed via Western blotting. HepG2 xenograft model was used to detect the effects of EGCG and Y6 on the antitumor activity and cardiotoxicity of DNR in vivo. Finally, to obtain further insight into the interactions of Y6 and EGCG with HIF-1α and CBR1, we performed a molecular modeling. RESULTS Y6(10 μg/ml or 55 mg/kg) decreased the expression of HIF-1α and CBR1 at both the mRNA and protein levels during combined drug therapy in vitro as well as in vivo, thereby inhibiting formation of the metabolite DNRol from DNR, with the mechanisms being related to PI3K/AKT and MEK/ERK signaling inhibition. In a human carcinoma xenograft model established with subcutaneous HepG2 cells, Y6(55 mg/kg) enhanced the antitumor effect and reduced the cardiotoxicity of DNR more effectively than EGCG(40 mg/kg). CONCLUSIONS Y6 has the ability to inhibit CBR1 expression through the coordinate inhibition of PI3K/AKT and MEK/ERK signaling, then synergistically enhances the antitumor effect and reduces the cardiotoxicity of DNR.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective anticancer drugs to treat various forms of cancers; however, its therapeutic utility is severely limited by its associated cardiotoxicity. Despite the enormous amount of research conducted in this area, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying DOX toxic effects on the heart are still an area that warrants further investigations. In this study, we reviewed literature to gather the best-known molecular pathways related to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). They include mechanisms dependent on mitochondrial dysfunction such as DOX influence on the mitochondrial electron transport chain, redox cycling, oxidative stress, calcium dysregulation, and apoptosis pathways. Furthermore, we discuss the existing strategies to prevent and/or alleviate DIC along with various techniques available for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in cancer patients treated with DOX. Finally, we propose a stepwise flowchart for TDM of DOX and present our perspective at curtailing this deleterious side effect of DOX.

Abstract
An aptamer-based biosensor was developed for the detection of doxorubicin using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Doxorubicin and its 14-dehydroxylated version daunorubicin are anthracyclines often used in cancer treatment. Due to their mutagenic and cardiotoxic effects, detection in groundwater is desirable. We developed a biosensor using the daunorubicin-binding aptamer as biological recognition element. The aptamer was successfully co-immobilized with mercaptohexanol on gold and a density of 1.3*1013 ± 2.4*1012 aptamer molecules per cm2 was achieved. The binding of doxorubicin to the immobilized aptamer was detected by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The principle is based on the inhibition of electron transfer between electrode and ferro-/ferricyanide in solution caused by the binding of doxorubicin to the immobilized aptamer. A linear relationship between the charge transfer resistance (R ct ) and the doxorubicin concentration was obtained over the range of 31 nM to 125 nM doxorubicin, with an apparent binding constant of 64 nM and a detection limit of 28 nM. With the advantages of high sensitivity, selectivity, and simple sensor construction, this method shows a high potential of impedimetric aptasensors in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
In the history of medicine, nature has represented the main source of medical products. Indeed, the therapeutic use of plants certainly goes back to the Sumerian and Hippocrates and nowadays nature still represents the major source for new drugs discovery. Moreover, in the cancer treatment, drugs are either natural compounds or have been developed from naturally occurring parent compounds firstly isolated from plants and microbes from terrestrial and marine environment. A critical element of an anticancer drug is represented by its severe toxicities and, after administration, the drug concentrations have to remain in an appropriate range to be effective. Anyway, the drug dosage defined during the clinical studies could be inappropriate for an individual patient due to differences in drug absorption, metabolism and excretion. For this reason, personalized medicine, based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), represents one of most important challenges in cancer therapy. Mass spectrometry sensitivity, specificity and fastness lead to elect this technique as the Golden Standard for pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism studies therefore for TDM. This review focuses on the mass spectrometry-based methods developed for pharmacokinetic quantification in human plasma of anticancer drugs derived from natural sources and already used in clinical practice. Particular emphasis was placed both on the pre-analytical and analytical steps, such as: sample preparation procedures, sample size required by the analysis and the limit of quantification of drugs and metabolites to give some insights on the clinical practice applicability. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chemotherapy drug resistance and relapse of the disease have been the major factors limiting the success of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy. Several factors, including the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Cytarabine (Ara-C) and Daunorubicin (Dnr), could contribute to difference in treatment outcome in AML. METHODS In the present study, we evaluated the plasma PK of Dnr, the influence of genetic polymorphisms of genes involved in transport and metabolism of Dnr on the PK, and also the influence of these factors on clinical outcome. Plasma levels of Dnr and its major metabolite, Daunorubicinol (DOL), were available in 70 adult de novo AML patients. PK parameters (Area under curve (AUC) and clearance (CL)) of Dnr and DOL were calculated using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling analysis performed with Monolix. Genetic variants in ABCB1, ABCG2, CBR1, and CBR3 genes as well as RNA expression of CBR1, ABCB1, and ABCG2 were compared with Dnr PK parameters. RESULTS The AUC and CL of Dnr and DOL showed wide inter-individual variation. Patients with an exon1 variant of rs25678 in CBR1 had significantly higher plasma Dnr AUC [p = 0.05] compared to patients with wild type. Patients who achieved complete remission (CR) had significantly lower plasma Dnr AUC, Cmax, and higher CL compared to patients who did not achieve CR. CONCLUSION Further validation of these findings in a larger cohort of AML patients is warranted before establishing a therapeutic window for plasma Dnr levels and targeted dose adjustment.

Abstract
The clinical application of anthracyclines, like daunorubicin and doxorubicin, is limited by two factors: dose-related cardiotoxicity and drug resistance. Both have been linked to reductive metabolism of the parent drug to their metabolites daunorubicinol and doxorubicinol, respectively. These metabolites show significantly less anti-neoplastic properties as their parent drugs and accumulate in cardiac tissue leading to chronic cardiotoxicity. Therefore, we aimed to identify novel and potent natural inhibitors for anthracycline reductases, which enhance the anticancer effect of anthracyclines by preventing the development of anthracycline resistance. Human enzymes responsible for the reductive metabolism of daunorubicin were tested for their sensitivity towards anthrachinones, in particular emodin and anthraflavic acid. Intense inhibition kinetic data for the most effective daunorubicin reductases, including IC50- and Ki-values, the mode of inhibition, as well as molecular docking, were compiled. Subsequently, a cytotoxicity profile and the ability of emodin to reverse daunorubicin resistance were determined using multiresistant A549 lung cancer and HepG2 liver cancer cells. Emodin potently inhibited the four main human daunorubicin reductases in vitro. Further, we could demonstrate that emodin is able to synergistically sensitize human cancer cells towards daunorubicin at clinically relevant concentrations. Therefore, emodin may yield the potential to enhance the therapeutic effectiveness of anthracyclines by preventing anthracycline resistance via inhibition of the anthracycline reductases. In symphony with its known pharmacological properties, emodin might be a compound of particular interest in the management of anthracycline chemotherapy efficacy and their adverse effects.

Curcumin is a tight-binding inhibitor of the most efficient human daunorubicin reductase--Carbonyl reductase 1. Chem Biol Interact 2014; 234:162-8. [PMID: 25541467 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2014.12.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2014] [Revised: 12/02/2014] [Accepted: 12/14/2014] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Curcumin is a major component of the plant Curcuma longa L. It is traditionally used as a spice and coloring in foods and is an important ingredient in curry. Curcuminoids have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and gained increasing attention as potential neuroprotective and cancer preventive compounds. In the present study, we report that curcumin is a potent tight-binding inhibitor of human carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1, Ki=223 nM). Curcumin acts as a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to the substrate 2,3-hexandione as revealed by plotting IC50-values against various substrate concentrations and most likely as a competitive inhibitor with respect to NADPH. Molecular modeling supports the finding that curcumin occupies the cofactor binding site of CBR1. Interestingly, CBR1 is one of the most effective human reductases in converting the anthracycline anti-tumor drug daunorubicin to daunorubicinol. The secondary alcohol metabolite daunorubicinol has significantly reduced anti-tumor activity and shows increased cardiotoxicity, thereby limiting the clinical use of daunorubicin. Thus, inhibition of CBR1 may increase the efficacy of daunorubicin in cancer tissue and simultaneously decrease its cardiotoxicity. Western-blots demonstrated basal expression of CBR1 in several cell lines. Significantly less daunorubicin reduction was detected after incubating A549 cell lysates with increasing concentrations of curcumin (up to 60% less with 50 μM curcumin), suggesting a beneficial effect in the co-treatment of anthracycline anti-tumor drugs together with curcumin.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective ultra fast liquid chromatography (UFLC) method has been developed and validated for the determination of a potent and novel antitubercular compound S006-830 in Sprague Dawley (SD) rat plasma. Samples were extracted and processed by protein precipitation method using acetonitrile. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Phenomenex, Luna C-18 column (3μm, 100mm x 2mm i.d.) under isocratic condition. Detection was performed on UFLC-NEXERA system (LC-30AD, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) with a degasser (DGU-20A), auto-injector (SIL-30AC), fixed with a 100-μL loop. Method was found sensitive and reproducible over a linearity range of 15.6-2000 ng/mL. Recovery of S006-830 and internal standard was found >90% for spiked matrix control and standard quality control plasma samples. This validated method was successfully applied to generate pharmacokinetic profile of S006-830 in SD rats. Oral dose proportionality studies were conducted at 100, 50, 25 mg/Kg dose levels, while an IV study was conducted at 25 mg/Kg dose. There was dose dependent increase in AUC and Cmax indicating S006-830 to exhibit linear pharmacokinetics. S006-830 exhibited favorable bioavailability in the range of 45-55%.

Abstract
A fiber optic spectrometer setup was designed for white light excitation fluorescence 'WLEF' based measurements. Using this setup, two different analytical methods, a self referencing ratio-metric and a difference WLEF methods, were developed for the quantification of doxorubicin (DXR) in biofluids. It was seen that Acetonitrile (ACN) acts as an efficient and transparent extracting medium for DXR. The figures of merit and the percent recoveries of DXR in blood serum, even in presence of external fluorophores and in urine samples are comparable with existing analytical methods. The compact spectrometer is expected to be useful for easy quantification of fluorescent pharmaceuticals in biofluids.

Abstract
The usage of natural products in pharmaceuticals has steadily seen improvements over the last decade, and this study focuses on the utilization of palm oil in formulating liposomal doxorubicin (Dox). The liposomal form of Dox generally minimizes toxicity and enhances target delivery actions. Taking into account the antiproliferative and antioxidant properties of palm oil, the aim of this study is to design and characterize a new liposomal Dox by replacing phosphatidylcholine with 5% and 10% palm oil content. Liposomes were formed using the freeze_thaw method, and Dox was loaded through pH gradient technique and characterized through in vitro and ex vivo terms. Based on TEM images, large lamellar vesicles (LUV) were formed, with sizes of 438 and 453 nm, having polydispersity index of 0.21 ± 0.8 and 0.22 ± 1.3 and zeta potentials of about -31 and -32 mV, respectively. In both formulations, the entrapment efficiency was about 99%, and whole Dox was released through 96 hours in PBS (pH = 7.4) at 37°C. Comparing cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of LUV with Caelyx(R) on MCF7 and MDA-MBA 231 breast cancer cell lines indicated suitable uptake and lower IC50 of the prepared liposomes.

Abstract
The study compares the performances of three analytical methods devoted to Analytical Quality Control (AQC) of therapeutic solutions formed into care environment, we are talking about Therapeutics Objects(TN) (TOs(TN)). We explored the pharmacological model of two widely used anthracyclines i.e. adriamycin and epirubicin. We compared the performance of the HPLC versus two vibrational spectroscopic techniques: a tandem UV/Vis-FTIR on one hand and Raman Spectroscopy (RS) on the other. The three methods give good results for the key criteria of repeatability, of reproducibility and, of accuracy. A Spearman and a Kendall correlation test confirms the noninferiority of the vibrational techniques as an alternative to the reference method (HPLC). The selection of bands for characterization and quantification by RS is the results of a gradual process adjustment, at the intercept of matrix effects. From the perspective of a AQC associated to release of TOs, RS displays various advantages: (a) to decide quickly (~2min), simultaneously and without intrusion or withdrawal on both the nature of a packaging than on a solvant and this, regardless of the compound of interest; it is the founder asset of the method, (b) to explore qualitatively and quantitatively any kinds of TOs, (c) operator safety is guaranteed during production and in the laboratory, (d) the suppression of analytical releases or waste contribute to protects the environment, (e) the suppression.of consumables, (f) a negligible costs of maintenance, (g) a small budget of technicians training. These results already show that the SR technology is potentially a strong contributor to the safety of the medication cycle and fight against the iatrogenic effects of drugs.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are amongst the most widely used drugs in oncology, being part of the treatment regimen in most patients receiving systemic chemotherapy. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the sample preparation techniques and chromatographic methods that have been developed during the last two decades for the analysis of the 4 most administered anthracyclines, doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin and idarubicin in plasma, serum, saliva or urine, within the context of clinical and pharmacokinetic studies or for assessing occupational exposure. Following deproteinization, liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction or a combination of these techniques, the vast majority of methods utilizes reversed-phase C18 stationary phases for liquid chromatographic separation, followed by fluorescence detection, or, more recently, tandem mass spectrometric detection. Some pros and cons of the different techniques are addressed, in addition to potential pitfalls that may be encountered in the analysis of this class of compounds.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Human carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) converts the antitumor drug and anthracycline daunorubicin (DNR) into the alcohol metabolite daunorubicinol (DNROL) with significantly reduced antitumor activity and cardiotoxicity, and this limits the clinical use of DNR. Inhibition of CBR1 can thus increase the efficacy and decrease the toxicity of DNR. Here we report that (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea is a promising inhibitor of CBR1. EGCG directly interacts with CBR1 and acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor with respect to the cofactor reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and the substrate isatin. The inhibition is dependent on the pH, and the gallate moiety of EGCG is required for activity. Molecular modeling has revealed that EGCG occupies the active site of CBR1. Furthermore, EGCG specifically enhanced the antitumor activity of DNR against hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC7721 cells expressing high levels of CBR1 and corresponding xenografts. We also demonstrated that EGCG could overcome the resistance to DNR by Hep3B cells stably expressing CBR1 but not by RNA interference of CBR1-HepG2 cells. The level of the metabolite DNROL was negatively correlated with that of EGCG in the cell extracts. Finally, EGCG decreased the cardiotoxicity of DNR in a human carcinoma xenograft model with both SMMC7721 and Hep3B cells in mice. CONCLUSION These results strongly suggest that EGCG can inhibit CBR1 activity and enhance the effectiveness and decrease the cardiotoxicity of the anticancer drug DNR. These findings also indicate that a combination of EGCG and DNR might represent a novel approach for hepatocellular carcinoma therapy or chemoprevention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although body composition has emerged as an important predictor of drug efficacy and toxicity, explanations for this association are unclear. Our goal was to investigate relationships between lean body mass (LBM), liver size/function and epirubicin pharmacokinetics (PK) and toxicity. METHODS Data from a clinical study (n = 24) of patients with breast cancer receiving adjuvant intravenous FE(100)C chemotherapy were used to examine relationships between LBM, liver size, and epirubicin clearance. Muscle tissue and liver mass were measured by analysis of computerized tomography cross-sectional images, and an extrapolation of muscle mass to total LBM compartment was employed. Population PK analysis of epirubicin was undertaken to test effects of body composition on epirubicin clearance and area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Estimated LBM was extremely variable in this cohort ranging from 32.9 to 67.3 kg. LBM was associated with neutrophil nadir (r = 0.5, P = 0.023), and mean LBM was lower for patients presenting with toxicity compared to those where toxicity was absent (41.6 vs. 56.2 kg, P = 0.002); 33% of variance in clearance was explained by LBM and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Liver mass was not related to epirubicin clearance likely due to larger livers presenting with larger fat content, but liver attenuation (degree of fat infiltration) and AST were associated with AUC. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine relationships between LBM, liver mass/function and epirubicin PK and toxicity. This exploratory work investigates the notion of organs and tissues having distinctive contributions to the distribution and metabolism of antineoplastic drugs.

Abstract
Drug Eluting Microsphere-Transarterial Chemoembolization (DEM-TACE) is a new delivery system to administrate drugs in a controlled manner useful for application in the chemoembolization of colorectal cancer metastases to the liver. DEM-TACE is focused to obtain higher concentrations of the drug to the tumor with lower systemic concentrations than traditional cancer chemotherapy. Therefore a specific, precise and sensitive LC-ESI-MS/MS assay procedure was properly designed to detect and quantify epirubicin at the concentrations expected from a transarterial chemoembolization with microspheres. Serum samples were kept acidic (pH approximately of 3.5) and sample preparation consisted of a solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure with HLB OASIS cartridges using a methylene chloride/2-propanol/methanol mixture solution to recover epirubicin. The analyses consisted of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Accuracy, precision and matrix effect of this procedure were carried out by analyzing four quality control samples (QCs) on five separate days. The validation parameters were assessed by recovery studies of spiked serum samples. Recoveries were found to vary between 92 and 98% at the QC levels (5, 40, 80 and 150 microg/L) with relative standard deviation (RSD) always less than 3.7%. The limit of detection (LOD) was set at 1 microg/L. The developed procedure has been also applied to investigate the different capability of two types of commercially available microspheres to release epirubicin into the human circulatory system.

Induction of 1C aldoketoreductases and other drug dose-dependent genes upon acquisition of anthracycline resistance. Pharmacogenet Genomics 2009; 19:477-88.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent studies suggest that tumor cells overexpressing aldoketoreductases (AKRs) exhibit increased resistance to DNA damaging agents such as anthracyclines. AKRs may induce resistance to the anthracycline doxorubicin by catalyzing its conversion to the less toxic 13-hydroxy metabolite doxorubicinol. However, it has not been established whether during selection for anthracycline resistance, AKR overexpression in tumor cells can be correlated with the onset or magnitude of drug resistance and with appreciable conversion of anthracyclines to 13-hydroxy metabolites. METHODS AND FINDINGS Through microarray and quantitative polymerase chain reaction studies involving rigid selection criteria and both correlative discriminate statistics and time-course models, we have identified several genes whose expression can be correlated with the onset and/or magnitude of anthracycline resistance, including AKR1C2 and AKR1C3. Also associated with the onset or magnitude of anthracycline resistance were genes involved in drug transport (ABCB1, ABCC1), cell signaling and transcription (RDC1, CXCR4), cell proliferation or apoptosis (BMP7, CAV1), protection from reactive oxygen species (AKR1C2, AKR1C3, FTL, FTH, TXNRD1, MT2A), and structural or immune system proteins (IFI30, STMN1). As expected, doxorubicin-resistant and epirubicin-resistant cells exhibited higher levels of doxorubicinol than wild-type cells, although at insufficient levels to account for significant drug resistance. Nevertheless, an inhibitor of Akr1c2 (5beta-cholanic acid) almost completely restored sensitivity to doxorubicin in ABCB1-deficient doxorubicin-resistant cells, while having no effect on ABCB1-expressing epirubicin-resistant cells. CONCLUSION Taken together, we show for the first time that a variety of genes (particularly redox genes such as AKR1C2 and AKR1C3) can be temporally and causally correlated with the acquisition of anthracycline resistance in breast tumor cells.

Abstract
We describe the characterization of a DNA aptamer that displays high affinity and specificity for the anthracyclines daunomycin and doxorubicin, both of which are frequently used in chemotherapy. Aptamers were isolated from a pool of random sequences using a semiautomated procedure for magnetic beads. All selected aptamers displayed high affinity for the target molecule daunomycin. One aptamer was further characterized and exhibited a dissociation constant (KD) of 20 nM. To examine the aptamer's binding properties and clarify its applicability for diagnostic assays, its performance under various buffer conditions was evaluated. The aptamer proved to be very robust and not dependent on the presence of specific ions. It also tolerated a wide pH range and immobilization via 5'-biotinylation. Furthermore, a competition assay for sensitive daunomycin detection was established. This not only allows the determination of the aptamer's specificity but also allows the quantification of as little as 8.4 microg/L daunomycin and doxorubicin.

Abstract
Anthracycline antibiotics (e.g. doxorubicin and daunorubicin) are among the most effective and widely used anticancer drugs. Unfortunately, their clinical use is limited by the dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Flavonoids represent a potentially attractive class of compounds to mitigate the anthracycline cardiotoxicity due to their iron-chelating, antioxidant and carbonyl reductase-inhibitory effects. The relative contribution of various characteristics of the flavonoids to their cardioprotective activity is, however, not known. A series of ten flavonoids including quercetin, quercitrin, 7-monohydroxyethylrutoside (monoHER) and seven original synthetic compounds were employed to examine the relationships between their inhibitory effects on carbonyl reduction, iron-chelation and antioxidant properties with respect to their protective potential against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Cardioprotection was investigated in the neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes whereas the H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells were used for cytotoxicity testing. Iron chelation was examined via the calcein assay and antioxidant effects and site-specific scavenging were quantified by means of inhibition of lipid peroxidation and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, respectively. Inhibition of carbonyl reductases was assessed in cytosol from human liver. None of the flavonoids tested had better cardioprotective action than the reference cardioprotector, monoHER. However, a newly synthesized quaternary ammonium analog with comparable cardioprotective effects has been identified. No direct correlation between the iron-chelating and/or antioxidant effect and cardioprotective potential has been found. A major role of carbonyl reductase inhibition seems unlikely, as the best two cardioprotectors of the series are only weak reductase inhibitors.

Abstract
Chloroform is commonly used to extract anthracyclines from various biological matrices. However, their determination can be seriously compromised by phosgene traces present as a result of failing stabilization of chloroform. Out of the three varieties in which chloroform exists (not stabilized, stabilized with an alcohol and stabilized with a hydrocarbon) only the ethanol stabilized type minimizes chances on creating artifacts. Chromatographic separation after extraction of four anthracyclines (doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin and idarubicin) and two metabolites (13-S-dihydrodoxorubicin and 13-S-dihydroepirubicin) with chloroform under various conditions indicate that the appropriate choice of stabilizer in this extraction solvent is highly relevant.

Abstract
Doxorubicin executes topoisomerase II mediated apoptosis, a process known to result in mitochondrial dysfunction, such as the leakage of cytochrome c and the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (PTP). To further define the effects of doxorubicin on cell metabolism, we measured cellular respiration, cellular ATP, DNA fragmentation, and cytochrome c leakage in Jurkat (supersensitive), human leukemia-60 (HL-60, sensitive), and HL-60/MX2 (resistant) cells following exposure to 1.0 microM doxorubicin for 30 min. The measurements were made after 24 h of exposure to the drug. In Jurkat and HL-60 cells, doxorubicin treatment increased cellular mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP content by 2-3-fold. The increment in oxygen consumption was blocked by the pan-caspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-dl-Asp-fluoromethylketone (zVAD-fmk) and by the PTP inhibitor cyclosporin A. In HL-60/MX2 cells, which are resistant because of a reduced topoisomerase II activity, doxorubicin treatment was without effect on either respiration or ATP content, suggesting that topoisomerase II was essential for induction of apoptosis and stimulation of respiration and ATP content. The conclusion that both of the latter processes were products of oxidations in the mitochondrial respiratory chain was supported by the further observation that rotenone and sodium cyanide inhibited oxygen consumption and substantially lowered ATP content in the treated and untreated cells. Thus, oxidative phosphorylation is enhanced in cells briefly incubated with doxorubicin for as long as 24 h post drug exposure despite apoptosis-associated mitochondrial insults caused by the drug.

Abstract
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, transcription of several drug transporter genes, including the major transporter gene PDR5, has been shown to peak during mitosis. The significance of this observation, however, remains unclear. PDR1 encodes the primary transcription activator of multiple drug transporter genes in S. cerevisiae, including PDR5. Here, we show that in synchronized PDR1 and pdr1-3 (multidrug resistant) strains, cellular efflux of a known substrate of ATP-binding-cassette transporters, doxorubicin (a fluorescent anticancer drug), is highest during mitosis when PDR5 transcription peaks. A genetic screen performed to identify regulators of multidrug resistance revealed that a truncation mutation in ELM1 (elm1-300) suppressed the multidrug resistance of pdr1-3. ELM1 encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase required for proper regulation of multiple cellular kinases, including those involved in mitosis, cytokinesis, and cellular morphogenesis. elm1-300 as well as elm1Delta mutations in a pdr1-3 strain also caused elongated bud morphology (indicating a G2/M delay) and reduction of PDR5 transcription under induced and noninduced conditions. Interestingly, mutations in several genes functionally related to ELM1, including cla4Delta, gin4Delta, and cdc28-C127Y, also caused drastic reductions in drug resistance and PDR5 transcription. Collectively, these data show that ELM1, and genes encoding related serine/threonine protein kinases, are required for regulation of multidrug resistance involving, at least in part, control of PDR5 transcription.

Abstract
Daunorubicin (DNR) is a significant antineoplastic antibiotic, which is usually applied to a chemotherapy of acute lymphatic and myelogenous leukaemia. Unfortunately, cardiotoxicity research in animals has indicated that DNR is cardiotoxic. Therefore, it is important to quantify DNR in biological fluids. A new algorithm, the alternating fitting residue (AFR) method, and the traditional parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) have been utilized to directly determine DNR in human plasma and urine. These methodologies fully exploit the second-order advantage of the employed three-way fluorescence data, allowing the analyte concentrations to be quantified even in the presence of unknown fluorescent interferents. Furthermore, in contrast to PARAFAC, more satisfactory results were gained with AFR.

Abstract
Doxil is a pegylated liposome formulation of the anthracycline doxorubicin. To better explain observed differences in the toxicity of Doxil and free doxorubicin in solution, the intracellular metabolism of the formulations after treatment in CCRF-CEM and CEM/C2 human leukemia cell lines was investigated. Using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection, with a 63 zepto (10(-21)) mole doxorubicin limit of detection, five common metabolites and doxorubicin were detected upon treatment with both of these drug delivery systems. Two unique metabolites appeared with the Doxil and two unique metabolites appeared with the free doxorubicin delivery systems. For common metabolites, the relative amount of metabolite generated from Doxil was approximately 10 times higher than for free doxorubicin.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of zosuquidar.3HCl, an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein, on the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin and daunorubicinol was examined in a phase I trial using a population approach. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of zosuquidar.3HCl were also determined. METHODS The pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin and daunorubicinol were studied following daunorubicin administration on day 1 (50 mg/m2 i.v. infusion over 10 min) alone and on day 3 concomitantly with zosuquidar.3HCl (i.v. 200 or 300 mg/m2 over 6 h or 400 mg over 3 h). Of a total of 18 patients entered, 16 with acute leukemia completed the study. RESULTS A three-compartment pharmacokinetic model adequately described daunorubicin concentration-time profiles. Five- and four-compartment models adequately described the daunorubicin-daunorubicinol pharmacokinetics in the absence and presence of zosuquidar.3HCl, respectively. The impact of zosuquidar.3HCl on coadministered daunorubicin was minimal, with a 10% reduction in daunorubicin clearance. The model predicted a 50% decrease in daunorubicinol apparent clearance in the presence of zosuquidar.3HCl. A direct concentration-effect relationship between zosuquidar.3HCl concentrations and inhibition of rhodamine 123 (Rh123) efflux in CD56 lymphocytes was defined by a sigmoid E(max) model. The IC(50) was 31.7 microg/l. The zosuquidar.3HCl dosing regimen led to concentrations in excess of the IC(90) (169.6 microg/l) and provided maximal P-glycoprotein inhibition during the distribution phases of daunorubicin. CONCLUSIONS The decrease in daunorubicin and daunorubicinol clearance in the presence of zosuquidar.3HCl likely reflects inhibition of P-glycoprotein in the bile canaliculi impeding their biliary excretion. The results need to be interpreted carefully due to the sequential nature of daunorubicin administration and analysis.

Abstract
Health-care workers handling antineoplastic agents may be exposed to extremely low doses of these drugs. Very sensitive and specific analytical methods are therefore needed for biological monitoring. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a method for trace level determination of doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin and idarubicin in human urine, using epi-daunorubicin as an internal standard. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used for sample preparation. Urine samples were loaded onto Bond Elut C18 cartridges. The analytes were eluted in methylene chloride/2-propanol (1:1, v/v) and then evaporated to dryness. The residue was reconstituted with the mobile phase prior to high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) analysis. Quantitation of each analyte was performed using the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method. The urine assay was linear over the range 0.1-2.0 microg/L, with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.10 microg/L for doxorubicin and epirubicin, and 0.03 microg/L for daunorubicin and idarubicin. The respective limits of detection (LODs) were 0.04 and 0.01 microg/L. The precision and accuracy of the assay were determined on three different days. The within-series precision was found to be always less than 13.9% for all the analytes. The overall precision expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) was always less than 10.6%. The recovery of anthracyclines was assessed at two concentrations of the range tested (0.1 and 2.0 microg/L) and it ranged from 87.7% (daunorubicin) to 102.0% (doxorubicin) and from 79.1% (daunorubicin) to 90.7% (idarubicin) for the lower and the higher level, respectively, with a RSD always less than 9.1%. The uncertainty of the present assay was also evaluated and the combined uncertainty was always less than 20% over all the days of the validation study. This is the first method that makes use of LC/MS/MS for the biological monitoring of occupational exposure to anthracyclines.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is an antineoplasic agent active against sarcoma pulmonary metastasis, but its clinical use is hampered by its myelotoxicity and its cumulative cardiotoxicity, when administered systemically. This limitation may be circumvented using the isolated lung perfusion (ILP) approach, wherein a therapeutic agent is infused locoregionally after vascular isolation of the lung. The influence of the mode of infusion (anterograde (AG): through the pulmonary artery (PA); retrograde (RG): through the pulmonary vein (PV)) on doxorubicin pharmacokinetics and lung distribution was unknown. Therefore, a simple, rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method has been developed to quantify doxorubicin in four different biological matrices (infusion effluent, serum, tissues with low or high levels of doxorubicin). The related compound daunorubicin was used as internal standard (I.S.). Following a single-step protein precipitation of 500 microl samples with 250 microl acetone and 50 microl zinc sulfate 70% aqueous solution, the obtained supernatant was evaporated to dryness at 60 degrees C for exactly 45 min under a stream of nitrogen and the solid residue was solubilized in 200 microl of purified water. A 100 microl-volume was subjected to HPLC analysis onto a Nucleosil 100-5 microm C18 AB column equipped with a guard column (Nucleosil 100-5 microm C(6)H(5) (phenyl) end-capped) using a gradient elution of acetonitrile and 1-heptanesulfonic acid 0.2% pH 4: 15/85 at 0 min-->50/50 at 20 min-->100/0 at 22 min-->15/85 at 24 min-->15/85 at 26 min, delivered at 1 ml/min. The analytes were detected by fluorescence detection with excitation and emission wavelength set at 480 and 550 nm, respectively. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 2-1000 ng/ml for effluent and plasma matrices, and 0.1 microg/g-750 microg/g for tissues matrices. The method is precise with inter-day and intra-day relative standard deviation within 0.5 and 6.7% and accurate with inter-day and intra-day deviations between -5.4 and +7.7%. The in vitro stability in all matrices and in processed samples has been studied at -80 degrees C for 1 month, and at 4 degrees C for 48 h, respectively. During initial studies, heparin used as anticoagulant was found to profoundly influence the measurements of doxorubicin in effluents collected from animals under ILP. Moreover, the strong matrix effect observed with tissues samples indicate that it is mandatory to prepare doxorubicin calibration standard samples in biological matrices which would reflect at best the composition of samples to be analyzed. This method was successfully applied in animal studies for the analysis of effluent, serum and tissue samples collected from pigs and rats undergoing ILP.

Abstract
Clinical use of the anticancer anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DNR) is limited by development of cardiotoxicity upon chronic administration. Secondary alcohol metabolites, formed after two-equivalent reduction of a carbonyl group in the side chain of DOX or DNR, have been implicated as potential mediators of chronic cardiotoxicity. In the present study we characterized how human heart converted DOX or DNR to their alcohol metabolites DOXol or DNRol. Experiments were carried out using post-mortem myocardial samples obtained by ethically-acceptable procedures, and results showed that DOXol and DNRol were formed by flavin-independent cytoplasmic reductases which shared common features like pH-dependence and requirement for NADPH, but not NADH, as a source of reducing equivalents. However, studies performed with inhibitors exhibiting absolute or mixed specificity toward best known cytoplasmic reductases revealed that DOX and DNR were metabolized to DOXol or DNRol through the action of distinct enzymes. Whereas DOX was converted to DOXol by aldehyde-type reductase(s) belonging to the superfamily of aldo-keto reductases, DNR was converted to DNRol by carbonyl reductase(s) belonging to the superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenase/reductases. This pattern changed in cardiac cytosol derived from rabbit, a laboratory animal often exploited to reproduce cardiotoxicity induced by anthracyclines and to develop protectants for use in cancer patients. In fact, only carbonyl reductases were involved in metabolizing DOX and DNR in rabbit cardiac cytosol, although with different K(m) and V(max). Collectively, these results demonstrate that human myocardium convert DOX and DNR to DOXol or DNRol by virtue of different reductases, an information which may be of value to prevent alcohol metabolite formation during the course of anthracycline-based anticancer therapy. These results also raise caution on the preclinical value of animal models of anthracycline cardiotoxicity, as they demonstrate that the metabolic routes leading to DOXol in a laboratory animal may not be the same as those occurring in patients.

Abstract
Preliminary randomized studies have failed to show a survival benefit of high-dose chemotherapy with alkylators in advanced breast cancer. Idarubicin is an active agent in breast cancer and is suitable for dose escalation. We designed a dose finding study with escalating high-dose idarubicin (HD-Ida) followed by fixed high-dose thiotepa+melphalan (HD-TM) with peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) in MBC patients with stable disease or in partial response after six courses of induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m(2) days 1 and 4, epirubicin 90 mg/m(2) day 1, taxol 175 mg/m(2) day 1 (GET). Aims of the study were to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of idarubicin, to evaluate the cardiac safety and activity of HD-Ida and HD-TM after GET and to study the pharmacokinetic profile of idarubicin and idarubicinol. A total of 14 patients were treated. Idarubicin was administered as a 48 h continuous i.v. infusion at the following dose levels: 40 mg/m(2) (three patients), 50 mg/m(2) (three patients), 60 mg/m(2) (five patients) and 70 mg/m(2) (three patients). Mucositis was the dose-limiting toxicity and the MTD was 60 mg/m(2). C(max) of Idarubicin and idarubicinol were 7.7+/-2.0 and 26.3+/-9.7 ng/ml at 40 mg/m(2) and increased to 14.8+3.0 and 47.4+12.6 ng/ml at 70 mg/m(2). AUCt(0-264) of idarubicin and idarubicinol increased from 423.2+/-111.6 and 2581+/-606 hng/ml at 40 mg/m(2) to 732.8+/-140.2 and 4590+/-1258 hng/ml at 70 mg/m(2). Conversion rates after HD-Ida and HD-TM were 28.6 and 38.5%, respectively. No episodes of cardiac toxicity were observed. We conclude that HD-Ida followed by HD-TM is feasible and devoid of cardiac toxicity. Moreover, the activity of HD-Ida after a epirubicin-containing regimen suggests incomplete cross-resistance between the two drugs.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) treatment of NS-1 mouse hybridoma cells results in the formation of zeptomole amounts of metabolites per cell that are difficult to determine by confocal microscopy or HPLC. The native fluorescence of DOX and its metabolites together with laser-induced fluorescence detection (HF) has previously been used to detect a maximum of four components. In this study, we use capillary electrophoresis with postcolumn LIF (CE-LIF) to separate and detect 12 components attributed to DOX metabolism, resulting from treatment of NS-1 cells with 25 microM DOX for 8 h. The so-called metabolites 8 and 10 have been identified as doxorubicinone (DOXone) and 7-deoxydoxorubicinone (7-deoxyDOXone), respectively, by comigration with the corresponding synthetic standard. Due to comigration of DOX with doxorubicinol (DOXone), the presence of DOXone had to be determined separately by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The rest of the metabolites remain unidentified and are referred to by their number assignment. In comparison with the whole cell lysate, fractionation by differential centrifugation results in a better separation resolution of metabolites due to reduced amounts of metabolites in each fraction. This approach was chosen to compare the distribution of 13 metabolites in three subcellular fractions that form a pellet at < 1,400 g, 1,400-14,000 g, and > 14, 000 g and that generically are enriched in nuclei, organelles (mitochondria and lysosomes), and cytosolic components, respectively. The most abundant metabolite, DOXone, was estimated to be 90 +/- 15, 18 +/- 2, and 60 +/- 12 amol/cell (n = 5) in the nuclear-enriched, organelle-enriched, and cytosole-enriched fractions, respectively. In contrast, the total amount of other metabolites in a given fraction varied from 0 to 1,300 zmol. 7-DeoxyDOXone is the only metabolite that was present at similar levels in the three fractions. Other salient observations are metabolites 3, 7, and 11 are not detectable in the nuclear-enriched, organelle-enriched, and cytosole-enriched fractions, respectively; metabolite 9 and DOXone are more abundant in the nuclear-enriched fraction than in the other two fractions. The observations presented here suggest that subcellular fractionation followed by CE-LIF could be a powerful diagnostic for monitoring drug distribution, which is highly relevant to DOX cytoxicity studies.
