and humans (dt: Dycker ('1 at 1988; Shepherd et al. 1987). Male rats rea:ived mitoxantrone ]mg eit her intravenously or injected into the carotid arlery. I nthe lalter group, brain tissue concen trations were 18 times higher than in the former. Infusions into the hepatic anery for primary hepatocellular carcinoma, and into the internal mammary artery for palients with advanced carcinoma of the breast. have betn tried with good clinical success. Systemic toxicity was reduced In companson with intravenous treatment, bu t pharmacokinetic data were not given.

3.6 Discussion of Phannacokinetic Data in Huma ns

All of the studies reviewed above demonstrated a vel')' short t 'hl.l (range 4. 1 to 10.7 minutes). Serum

mitoxantro ne concentrations 31 the end of infusion were between several hundred ,.glL and I mg/l and declined to below 10 ~81L. which was in the ra nge of the assay sensi tivity of several methods, within 8 to 24 hours. T hus, mitoxantrone rapid ly leaves the plasma compartment, and binds to endo thelial surfaces and penetrates into the formed elemen ts of blood (Albens et al. 1983, 1985a, b, 1989; Savaraj et al. 1982b). T he d is tribution phase (tYl.lo2) is given at between 0.3 and 3.1 hours. Many of the reported half-life values o f the elimination phase (tYl.lo}) a re between 10 and 40 hours, but 3 authors reponed much longer values (between 7 and 12 days). It is possible that in the present autho rs' own study the adm inistration of cyclophospha mide might have altered the e li mination ofmitoxantrone, altho ugh in a study in leukaemia patien ts wi th si ngle agent treatment, the same values were achieved. In addition, the authors' concept is supported by pharmacokinetic studies in animals and the data from autopsy studies with high tissue coocen tralions a variably long time after dosing. Variabilities in the estimated pharmaco. kinetic parameters in these studies may also be due to the differences in data poin ts beyond 24 hours, weight ing a nd assay sensi tivi ty. Concentra tions at day 21 after administration were between 290 and 1000 n8lL as measured by RIA ; none o f the HPLC

methods ISsenSItI ve enough to measure mLloxantrone concentratIons in the lower range. The auth· ors' combination of the measurement of mitox· an trone concentra tions in plasma and unne mIght help to overcome these problems panly, Since the solid phase extractIon method permItted the load· ing o f large volumes of urine and resulted In a sen· sitivity of 0.2 I181L murine. In summary. the foll owing consensus may be suggested: mItoxantrone ex hibits arapid inlllal dIS' tribution phase followed by a relatively slow eltm· ination phase. The results suggest a deep tIssue companment with a slow release. The very large volume of distribution shown by all studies sug· gests that much of the drug is sequestered in the tissues. All tissue measurements showed that mItoxantrone persists m human tissues for prolonged pe. riods. However, concentrations of drug in tIssues in which a tumour was located generally did not correlate with concentration of drug In the tumour itself, although exceptions to this were the lIver and brain (Stewart et al. 1986). The calculated mea n renal clearance values were between 0.9 and 2.7 L/ h/ m2 and accounted for about 4% of the dose in 48 hours. The observation in humans that 28% of the dose is excreted in the faeces within 5 days. as well as the high rate of biliary excretion in animals. supports the concept that bile may be the major route for the ehmmation of mitoxantrone.

4, Elimination, Metabolism, Metabolites 4. 1 Elimi nation and Metabolism Investigations with bi le--duct cannula ted rats. rabbi ts, dogs and monkeys, and isolated perfused rat liver (Batra et al. 1986: Chiccarelll ct al. 1984; Ehninger et al. 1984; Lu el al. 1984: Richard et al. 1989). showed that biliary excret io n is the major excretory pathway for mitoxantrone and ItS me· tabolites. In rats 56% of the radioacti vi ty of 14C·labelled mitoxantrone was excreted in 120 hours via the bile, and in to faeces of non-cannu1ated rats; an avo erage of 35% o f administered radioactivity was

a major problem in elucidation of the chemical struclure. The low solubility could be related to chemical denaturing during i50lation or to ionic or hydrophobic interactions with components ofbiological origin, especially proteins. which denature during enrichment procedures. The identification of metabolites as drug-related material has been achieved either by application of a radioactive now detector monitoring the radioactivity of the eluate after adminiSU'ation of 14e. labelled mito;\antrone (Richard el al. 1989). or by monitoring the typical light absorption of the ch romophoric system al 658nm . Two metabolites of mitoxantrone isolated from the urine ofpalienls have been characterised as the mono- and dicarboxyiic acid derivatives resulting from the oxidation of the terminal methylene groups of the side chains (Chiccarelli et al. 1986).
