Palonosetron (INN, trade name Aloxi) is a 5-HT3 antagonist used in the prevention and treatment of postoperative and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (PONV and CINV). Palonosetron is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with a strong binding affinity for this receptor and little or no affinity for other receptors. Cancer chemotherapy may be associated with a high incidence of nausea and vomiting, particularly when certain agents, such as cisplatin, are used. 5-HT3 receptors are located on the nerve terminals of the vagus in the periphery and centrally in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the area postrema. It is thought that chemotherapeutic agents produce nausea and vomiting by releasing serotonin from the enterochromaffin cells of the small intestine and that the released serotonin then activates 5-HT3 receptors located on vagal afferents to initiate the vomiting reflex. Postoperative nausea and vomiting is influenced by multiple patients, surgical and anesthesia-related factors and is triggered by the release of 5-HT in a cascade of neuronal events involving both the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. The 5-HT3 receptor has been demonstrated to selectively participate in the emetic response. The most common adverse effects are a headache, which occurs in 4–11% of patients, and constipation in up to 6% of patients. In less than 1% of patients, other gastrointestinal disorders occur, as well as sleeplessness, first- and second-degree atrioventricular block, muscle pain and shortness of breath. Palonosetron is similarly well tolerated as other sections, and slightly less than placebo.

In Vivo Use Guide

Adults 0.25 mg x 1 Infuse over 30 seconds beginning approx. 30 min before the start of chemotherapy. Pediatrics (1 month to less than 17 years) 20 micrograms per kilogram (max 1.5 mg) x 1 Infuse over 15 minutes beginning approx. 30 min before the start of chemotherapy

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

NG108-15 cells, known to express both 5-HT3 and NK-1 receptors, were grown in high-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with a mixture of sodium hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine, 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, and 2 mM glutamine to 90% confluence. Cells were incubated with palonosetron (10 nM), granisetron (60 nM), and ondansetron (300 nM) for 2 h. Antagonist concentrations were approximately 50-fold Kd in each case to make sure receptors were saturated. Subsequently, antagonists were removed and cells were incubated with growth media without antagonist for an additional hour to allow for dissociation of antagonists still bound to the cell. Next, cell media were replaced with isosmotic HEPES buffer (20 mM, pH 7.4, 130 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, and 2 mM CaCl2) containing 2 M Fluo-4 acetoxymethyl (AM) ester and pluronic acid (0.04%). Pluronic acid was added as nonionic surfactant to sequester the AM ester molecules into micelles for cell uptake. Cells were incubated for 1 h to allow for cell uptake of the AM ester. Cells were then incubated with SP at various concentrations for 1 h in HEPES buffer without the AM ester and pluronic acid. Subsequently, measurement of calcium-ion release caused by SP alone or SP plus serotonin (107 M final concentration added immediately before measurement) was made by using a fluorometric imaging plate reader.
