Research Excerpts

Overview

Diflomotecan is an E-ring modified camptothecin analogue. It possesses greater lactone stability in plasma compared with other topoisomerase I inhibitors, a potential advantage for antitumor activity.

Pharmacokinetics

Diflomotecan administered as a 20-min intravenous infusion 3-weekly is characterised by a variable pharmacokinetic profile. Pharmacokinetic analyses revealed a less than dose-proportional increase in diflombecan and for the two metabolites BN80942 and P-20.

Dosage Studied

The current work integrates cell-cycle dynamics occurring in the bone marrow compartment as a key element in the structure of a semimechanistic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model for neutropenic effects. Alternative oral dosing schedules of diflomotecan have been shown to display a more predictable PK/PD and safety profile.

Roles (2)

RoleDescription
EC 5.99.1.2 (DNA topoisomerase) inhibitorA topoisomerase inhibitor that inhibits the bacterial enzymes of the DNA topoisomerases, Type I class (EC 5.99.1.2) that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. These bacterial enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing negatively, but not positively, supercoiled DNA.
antineoplastic agentA substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
