Dược Lực Học :
Glucarpidase acts as an antidote to toxic methotrexate levels by elminating methotrexate by a non-kidney route.
Cơ Chế Tác Dụng :
Glucarpidase is the recombinant form of the Pseudomonas sp. (strain RS-16) enzyme carboxypeptidase G2 that is produced in Escherichia coli. In patients, glucarpidase inactivates methotrexate, and other antifolates, by hydrolyzing glutamate on the carboxyl terminal of these compounds. Therefore since methotrexate is eliminated enzymatically and not by the kidneys, glucarpidase is indicated in patients on methotrexate treatment who have kidney dysfunction, and are experiencing an abnormally high plasma concentration of methotrexate (>1 micromole per liter). Glucarpidase is marketed under the brand name Voraxaze®.
Glucarpidase inactivates methotrexate, and other antifolates, by hydrolyzing glutamate on the carboxyl terminal of these compounds. For methotrexate specifically, it is hydrolyzed to the inactive metabolites glutamate and 4-deoxy-4-amino-N10-methylpteroic acid (DAMPA).
Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
In healthy patients not taking methotrexate, the average maximum concentration for glucarpidase was 3.3 μg/mL.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
Glucarpidase is likely limited to the plasma volume since its volume of distribution is 3.6 L.
▧ Protein binding :
Plasma protein binding was not quantified.
▧ Metabolism :
Metabolism was not determined.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Route of elmination was not determined.
▧ Half Life :
In healthy patients not taking methotrexate, glucarpidase has an elimination half-life of 5.6 hours. In patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min), glucarpidase has an longer elimination half-life at 8.2 hours.
▧ Clearance :
In healthy patients not taking methotrexate, glucarpidase has a clearance of 7.5 mL/min.
Độc Tính :
Most common adverse reactions include hypotension, flushing, nausea, vomiting, headache, and paresthesia.
Chỉ Định :
Used in patients on methotrexate treatment who have kidney dysfunction, and are experiencing an abnormally high plasma concentration of methotrexate (> 1 micromole per liter).
Tương Tác Thuốc :
-
Leucovorin
Do not administer leucovorin within 2 hours of glucarpidase due to the fact that leucovorin is degraded by glucarpidase.
