Cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside, Ara-C) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of acute myelogenous leukaemia and lymphocytic leukaemias. As cytarabine is an S-phase-specific drug, prolonged exposure of cells to cytotoxic concentrations is critical to achieve maximum cytotoxic activity. However, the activity of cytarabine is decreased by its rapid deamination to the biologically inactive metabolite uracil arabinoside. This rapid deamination is the reason for the ongoing search for effective formulations and derivatives of cytarabine that cannot be deaminated and exhibit better pharmacokinetic parameters. Protection of cytarabine from fast degradation and elimination has been investigated by encapsulating the drug into pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Cytarabine derivatives have shown promise in vitro and in animal models. For example, ancitabine (cyclocytidine), enocitabine and cytarabine ocfosfate have been used clinically in Japan. Cytarabine encapsulated into multivesicular liposomes has been approved in several countries for the intrathecal treatment of lymphomatous meningitis. Although many compounds have been investigated, few cytarabine derivatives are currently available for clinical use. Further research is needed to improve the efficacy of cytarabine against haematological and solid tumours.

Antiviral effect of antileukemic drugs N⁴‐Behenoyl‐1‐β‐D‐Arabinofuranosylcytosine (BH‐AC) and 2,2′‐Anhydro‐1‐β‐D‐Arabinofuranosylcytosine (Cyclo‐C) Against Human Cytomegalovirus

AbstractThe antiviral activities of antileukemic drugs 1‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosylcytosine (Cytarabine; Ara‐C), 2,2′‐anhydro‐1‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ancitabine; Cyclo‐C), and N4‐behenoyl‐1‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosylcytosine (Enocitabine; BH‐AC) were evaluated in vitro against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in comparison with those of five other antiviral drugs. Both Ara‐C and Cyclo‐C showed the strongest inhibitory effect to HCMV. BH‐AC inhibited the replication of HCMV and depicted almost as the same dose‐response curve as Ganciclovir (DHPG). In the presence of Ara‐C, Cyclo‐C, or BH‐AC, triphosphate forms of the nucleoside analogs were detected in the HCMV‐infected cells, and synthesis of HCMV DNA was strongly suppressed. Thus, Ara‐C, Cyclo‐C, and BH‐AC were not only antileukemic, but also antiviral in vitro. However, Ara‐C and Cyclo‐C may not be suitable as anti‐HCMV agents, because they are cytotoxic or excreted rapidly in the urine in vivo [Van Voris, 1984; Hirayama et al., 1974]. Because of lower toxicity and longer retention in vivo, BH‐AC may be expected as an anti‐HCMV agent in patients with leukemia, in addition to serving as an antileukemic drug.

Cytarabine (ara-C) is the first line agent with its excellent activity for acute myelogenous leukemia. Combination therapy of MFC (mitomycin C, 5-FU, ara-C) has been used for GI tract cancer with a synergistic effect on L-1210 mouse leukemia. In the results of research on the administration, a high dose ara-C is an effective agent in the refractory cases to the standard dose ara-C and the combination with daunorubicin is applied to a remission consolidation therapy. A small dose ara-C is used against an atypical leukemia with its mechanism of induction of differenciation. On the other hand, in the development of its derivertive compounds ancitabine or enocitabine (BH-AC) were induced to a treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia. Especially BH-AC is the first choice agent for acute myelogenous leukemia combined with other agents.
