Abstract
With the advance of cancer therapy in recent years, the knowledge of the mechanisms involved in this disease has increased, which has meant an increase in the quality of life and survival of patients with tumor pathologies previously considered incurable or refractory to treatment. The number of drugs used has increased exponentially in number, and although the implicit toxicity is lower than that of conventional antineoplastic therapy, they lead to the appearance of new associated adverse effects that the ophthalmologist must recognize and manage.

Abstract
A formal total synthesis of ecteinascidin 743 and lurbinectedin is achieved. Key features involve a Pictet-Spengler cyclization coupling of the tetrahydroisoquinoline and phenylalaninol moieties prepared by a common route with high yield and selectivity, a Parikh-Doering oxidation with good chemoselectivity and functionality tolerance, and a light-mediated A-ring elaboration of pentacyclic methoxyquinone substrates. By the approach, the known advanced intermediate (4-step conversion to Et-743) can be obtained conveniently in 21 total steps from N-Cbz-l-tyrosine.

Abstract
Trabectedin is a therapeutic option for patients with advanced sarcoma. While a randomized trial demonstrated its prolonged progression-free survival (PFS), the reported PFS was <6 months. Some patients can achieve long-term disease control with this treatment. However, the reference information is insufficient. Herein, we retrospectively reviewed 51 sarcoma patients who received trabectedin. We analyzed the clinicopathological features, trabectedin dose, administration schedule, and clinical outcomes, including the overall response rate (ORR) and PFS. Among them, we assessed the detailed data of patients who achieved long-term disease control (PFS >1 year). The ORR in the 49 evaluable patients was 8%, and the median PFS in 51 patients was 7.5 months. Six patients (12%) achieved PFS of >1 year. Five of the six patients had metastatic lesions at trabectedin initiation. The pathological subtypes were myxoid liposarcoma (n = 2), leiomyosarcoma (n = 2), synovial sarcoma (n = 1), and Ewing sarcoma (n = 1). The final administration dose was the minimum dose (0.8 mg/m2) in two patients who continued the treatment over 20 cycles. The best radiological response was partial response (PR) in two myxoid liposarcoma patients and stable disease in four. The durations from trabectedin initiation to the first response in the two PR cases were 163 and 176 days, respectively. Our results support the validity of continuing trabectedin at a sustainable dose and interval in patients who can tolerate it. These results may be useful when considering the clinical application of trabectedin.

Abstract
A new series of composite materials (PLMTPA) based on tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) included in a polymeric matrix of polyacrylamide (PLM), with a TPA:PLM ratio of 20/80, 40/60, and 60/40, were synthesized and well characterized by FT-IR, XRD, 31P MAS-NMR, TGA-DSC, and SEM-EDAX. Their acidic and textural properties were determined by potentiometric titration and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, respectively. Considering 31P MAS-NMR and FT-IR analyses, the main species present in the samples is the [PW12O40]3− anion that, according to XRD results, is highly dispersed in the polymeric matrix or appears as a noncrystalline phase. The thermogravimetric analysis revealed that PLMTPA materials did not undergo any remarkable chemical changes up to 200 °C. Additionally, the PLMTPA materials showed strong acid sites whose number increased with the increment of their TPA content. Finally, PLMTPA materials were used as efficient and recyclable noncorrosive catalysts for the synthesis of 2-benzazepines and related compounds. Good yields (55–88%) and high purity were achieved by a Pictet-Spengler variant reaction between N-aralkylsulfonamides and s-trioxane in soft reaction conditions: low toluene volume, at 70 °C, for 3 h. The described protocol results in a useful and environmentally friendly alternative with operative simplicity. The best catalyst in the optimized reaction conditions, PLMTPA60/40100, was reused six times without appreciable loss of activity.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone tumor that mainly affects adolescents and young adults. Although standard treatment modality can achieve up to 60%-70% 5-year survival rate, there has not been any substantial improvement over the past four decades. Furthermore, those presenting with pulmonary metastatic lesions often undergo a highly unfavorable clinical course. Therefore, there is a severely unmet clinical need to provide a more effective treatment for patients with OS. In this study, we show that trabectedin (TBD), a chemotherapeutic agent approved for soft tissue sarcomas, significantly suppresses pulmonary metastasis in a mouse OS xenograft model. In vitro experiments revealed that TBD suppresses cell migration potentially by downregulating the activity of ERK1/2, intracellular molecules that are critically involved in the regulation of cell motility. Collectively, our data may provide a basis for further investigation of TBD on the potential use for OS patients who are at great risk of pulmonary metastasis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION All anticancer drugs can cause idiosyncratic liver injury. Therefore, hepatoprotective agents assume particular importance to preserve liver function. Hepatic injury represents 10% of cases of acute hepatitis in adults; drug-related damage is still misjudged because of relative clinical underestimation and difficult differential diagnosis. Chemotherapeutic agents can produce liver toxicity through different pathways, resulting in different categories of liver injuries, but these drugs are not homogeneously hepatotoxic. Frequently, anticancer-induced hepatotoxicity is idiosyncratic and influenced by multiple factors. AREAS COVERED The aim of this paper is to perform a review of the literature regarding anticancer-induced liver toxicity. We described hepatotoxicity mechanisms of principal anticancer agents and respective dose reductions. Furthermore, we reviewed studies on hepatoprotectors and their optimal use. Tiopronin, magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate and S-Adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) demonstrated, in some small studies, a potential hepatoprotective activity. EXPERT OPINION Actually, in the literature only small experiences are reported. Even though hepatoprotective agents seem to be useful in the oncologic setting, the lack of well-designed prospective Phase III randomized controlled trials is a major limit in the introduction of hepatoprotectors in cancer patients and these kind of studies are warranted to support their use and to give further recommendations for the clinical practice.

A comprehensive safety evaluation of trabectedin and drug-drug interactions of trabectedin-based combinations. BioDrugs 2015; 28:499-511.

Abstract
Trabectedin (Yondelis(®)) is a potent marine-derived antineoplastic drug with high activity against various soft tissue sarcoma (STS) subtypes as monotherapy, and in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) for the treatment of patients with relapsed platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. This article reviews the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of trabectedin. Records were identified using predefined search criteria using electronic databases (e.g. PubMed, Cochrane Library Database of Systematic Reviews). Primary peer-reviewed articles published between 1 January 2006 and 1 April 2014 were included. The current safety and tolerability profile of trabectedin, based on the evaluation in clinical trials of patients treated with the recommended treatment regimens for STS and recurrent ovarian cancer, was reviewed. Trabectedin as monotherapy or in combination with PLD, was not associated with cumulative and/or irreversible toxicities, such as cardiac, pulmonary, renal, or oto-toxicities, often observed with other common chemotherapeutic agents. The most common adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were myelosuppression and transient hepatic transaminase increases that were usually not clinically relevant. However, trabectedin administration should be avoided in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Serious and fatal ADRs were likely to be related to pre-existing conditions. Doxorubicin or PLD, carboplatin, gemcitabine, or paclitaxel when administered before trabectedin, did not seem to influence its pharmacokinetics. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 has an important role in the metabolism of trabectedin, suggesting a risk of drug-drug interactions with trabectedin used in combination with other CYP3A4 substrates. Trabectedin has a favorable risk/efficacy profile, even during extended treatment in pretreated patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and survival of trabectedin, metabolized primarily by cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 enzyme, when coadministered with rifampin (CYP3A4 inducer) or ketoconazole (CYP3A4 inhibitor) in adult patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS Two phase 1/2a, 2-way crossover studies were conducted. For rifampin study, 12 patients were randomized (1:1) to sequence of a cycle of trabectedin (1.3 mg/m(2), 3 h, i.v.) coadministered with rifampin (600 mg/day, 6-days), and a cycle of trabectedin monotherapy (1.3 mg/m(2), 3 h, i.v.). In ketoconazole study, eight patients were randomized (1:1) to sequence of a cycle of trabectedin (0.58 mg/m(2), 3 h, i.v.) coadministered with ketoconazole (200 mg, twice-daily, 15-doses), and a cycle of trabectedin monotherapy (1.3 mg/m(2), 3 h, i.v.). RESULTS The systemic exposure (geometric means) of trabectedin was decreased [22% (C max) and 31% (AUClast)] with rifampin coadministration and increased [22% (C max) and 66% (AUClast)] with ketoconazole coadministration. This correlated with an increased clearance with rifampin (39.6-59.8 L/h) and a decreased clearance with ketoconazole (20.3-12.0 L/h). Consistent with earlier studies, the most common (≥40%) treatment-emergent adverse events in both studies were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hepatic function abnormal, anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. CONCLUSIONS Coadministration of rifampin or ketoconazole altered the pharmacokinetics of trabectedin, but no new safety signals were observed. Coadministration of trabectedin with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers should be avoided if possible. If coadministration of trabectedin with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is required, close monitoring for toxicities is recommended, so that appropriate dose reductions can be instituted as warranted.

Abstract
The Ewing sarcoma family of tumors or Ewing sarcoma (ES) is the second most common malignant bone tumor of childhood. The prognosis for localized Ewing sarcoma has improved through the development of intense multimodal therapy over the past several decades. Unfortunately, patients with recurrent or metastatic disease continue to have a poor prognosis. Therefore, a number of complementary approaches are being developed in both the preclinical and clinical arenas to improve these outcomes. In this review, we will discuss efforts to directly target the biologic drivers of this disease and relate these efforts to the experience with several different agents both in the clinic and under development. We will review the data for compounds that have shown excellent activity in the clinic, such as the camptothecins, and summarize the biological data that supports this activity. In addition, we will review the clinical experience with IGF1 targeted agents, ET-743 and epigenetically targeted therapies, the substantial amount of literature that supports their activity in Ewing sarcoma and the challenges remaining translating these therapies to the clinic. Finally, we will highlight recent work aimed at directly targeting the EWS-FLI1 transcription factor with small molecules in Ewing tumors.

Abstract
Clinical mass balance studies aim to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of a(n) (often radiolabeled) drug, following a single administration to humans. They are perfectly suited to determine the disposition and major metabolic pathways of a drug, the exposure to the parent drug and its metabolites, and the rate and route of elimination. A mass balance study, however, poses interesting challenges to the analysis of parent drug and metabolites in different biological matrices. Using recent clinical mass balance studies in oncology as an example, this review focuses on the aspects of mass balance studies, from bioanalytical assay development, analysis of clinical samples to reporting of study results. Along the way, it discusses bioanalytical problems and practical solutions.
