Bendamustine, brand name Treanda, is a chemotherapeutic agent that displays a unique pattern of cytotoxicity compared with conventional alkylating agents. Treanda is indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), in addition Trenda in phase III of clinical trial for the treatment patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that has progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. Bendamustine is a bifunctional mechlorethamine derivative. Mechlorethamine and its derivatives dissociate into electrophilic alkyl groups. These groups form covalent bonds with electron-rich nucleophilic moieties. The bifunctional covalent linkage can lead to cell death via several pathways. The exact mechanism of action of bendamustine remains unknown. Molecular analyses have revealed that bendamustine differs from other alkylating agents in its mechanism of action. Differences have been observed about its effects on DNA repair and cell cycle progression. Moreover, bendamustine can induce cell death through both apoptotic and nonapoptotic pathways, thereby retaining activity even in cells without a functional apoptotic pathway. Bendamustine possesses the typical adverse reactions for the nitrogen mustards, and include nausea, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, constipation, loss of appetite, cough, headache, unintentional weight loss.

Sample Use Guides
TREANDA (bendamustine hydrochloride) is intended for administration as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes. The recommended dose is 100 mg/m2 administered intravenously on Days 1 and 2 of a 28-day cycle, up to 6 cycles. Consider using allopurinol as prevention for patients at high risk of tumor lysis syndrome for the first few weeks of treatment.

Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Sources: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12357363
Using chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells taken from 37 previously treated and untreated CLL patients, was investigated the influence of bendamustine alone, and in combination with fludarabine, on the induction of apoptosis and changes of Bcl-2 and Bax expression on mRNA and protein level. Using bendamustine alone in concentrations from 1 microg/ml to 50 microg/ml, a dose- and time-dependent manner of cytotoxicity from 30.4% to 94.8% after 48 h could be observed. The LD50 for untreated and pretreated CLL cells was 7.3 or 4.4 microg/ml, respectively. The level of the initial Bcl-2 and Bax protein and the m-RNA expression remained unchanged during the incubation with bendamustine.
