Tác dụng
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Azacitidine, a synthetic pyrimidine nucleoside analog of cytidine, is believed to exert its antineoplastic effects by inhibiting DNA methyltransferase (the enzyme responsible for methylating newly synthesised DNA in mammalian cells) thereby causing hypomethylation of DNA and by direct toxicity on abnormal hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Rapidly and completely absorbed (SC). Bioavailability: Approx 89% (SC). Time to peak plasma concentration: 30 min (SC). Distribution: Volume of distribution: 76 ± 26 L (IV). Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver via spontaneous hydrolysis and deamination by cytidine deaminase into several metabolites. Excretion: Mainly via urine, approx 50% (SC) and 85% (IV), as metabolites; faeces (<1%). Elimination half-life: Approx 4 hr. |
