Overview

What is Topotecan hydrochloride?

Topotecan hydrochloride is a semi-synthetic derivative of camptothecin and is an anti-tumor drug with topoisomerase I-inhibitory activity. The chemical name for topotecan hydrochloride is (S)-10-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-4-ethyl-4,9-dihydroxy-1-pyrano[3’,4’:6,7] indolizino [1,2-]quinoline-3,14-(4,12)-dione monohydrochloride. It has the molecular formula CHNO•HCl and a molecular weight of 457.9. It is soluble in water and melts with decomposition at 213°C to 218°C.

Topotecan hydrochloride has the following structural formula:

Topotecan Hydrochloride for Injection is supplied as a sterile, lyophilized, buffered, light yellow to greenish powder available in single-dose vials. Each vial contains topotecan hydrochloride equivalent to 4 mg of topotecan as free base. The reconstituted solution ranges in color from yellow to yellow-green and is intended for administration by intravenous infusion.

Inactive ingredients are mannitol, 48 mg, and tartaric acid, 20 mg. Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide may be used to adjust the pH. The solution pH ranges from 2.5 to 3.5.

Topotecan hydrochloride

can cause severe myelosuppression. Administer only to patients with baseline neutrophil counts of greater than or equal to 1,500 cells/mm and platelet counts greater than or equal to 100,000 cells/mm. Monitor blood cell counts .


What might happen if I take too much Topotecan hydrochloride?

Overdoses (up to 10-fold of the prescribed dose) occurred in patients treated with intravenous topotecan. The primary complication of overdosage is bone marrow suppression. The observed signs and symptoms of overdose are consistent with the known adverse reactions associated with topotecan hydrochloride for intravenous use . In addition, elevated hepatic enzymes and mucositis have been reported following overdose. One patient received a single dose of 40 mg/m of intravenous topotecan and developed gastrointestinal toxicity, skin toxicity, and myelosuppression leading to septic shock. Another patient received a single dose of 35 mg/m and experienced severe, reversible neutropenia.

There is no known antidote for overdosage with topotecan hydrochloride. If an overdose is suspected, monitor the patient closely for bone marrow suppression and institute supportive-care measures (such as the prophylactic use of G-CSF and antibiotic therapy) as appropriate.

Clinical Information

Chemical Structure

Clinical Pharmacology

Topoisomerase I relieves torsional strain in DNA by inducing reversible single-strand breaks. Topotecan binds to the topoisomerase I-DNA complex and prevents re-ligation of these single-strand breaks. The cytotoxicity of topotecan is thought to be due to double-strand DNA damage produced during DNA synthesis, when replication enzymes interact with the ternary complex formed by topotecan, topoisomerase I, and DNA. Mammalian cells cannot efficiently repair these double-strand breaks.

Non-Clinical Toxicology

Topotecan hydrochloride

can cause severe myelosuppression. Administer only to patients with baseline neutrophil counts of greater than or equal to 1,500 cells/mm and platelet counts greater than or equal to 100,000 cells/mm. Monitor blood cell counts .

Bone marrow suppression (primarily neutropenia) is the dose-limiting toxicity of topotecan hydrochloride. Neutropenia is not cumulative over time. Severe myelotoxicity has been reported when topotecan hydrochloride is used in combination with cisplatin .

Neutropenia

Thrombocytopenia

Anemia

Administer topotecan hydrochloride only to patients with a baseline neutrophil count of greater than or equal to 1,500 cells/mm and a platelet count greater than or equal to 100,000/mm. Monitor peripheral blood counts frequently during treatment with topotecan hydrochloride. Refer to Section 2.4 for dose modification guidelines for hematological toxicities in subsequent courses. Do not treat patients with subsequent courses of topotecan hydrochloride until neutrophils recover to greater than 1,000 cells/mm, platelets recover to greater than 100,000 cells/mm, and hemoglobin levels recover to 9.0 g/dL (with transfusion if necessary).
