Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/EPAR_-_Product_Information/human/002055/WC500127968.pdf | https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/PIL.30473.latest.pdf

Pixantrone is a novel anthracenedione. It is a weak inhibitor of topoisomerase II. Pixantrone directly alkylates DNA forming stable DNA adducts and cross-strand breaks. Pixuvri is approved for the treatment of adult patients with multiply relapsed or refractory aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphomas. It is used for patients whose cancer does not respond or has returned after they have received other chemotherapy treatments. The most frequent AE were seen in the blood (mainly neutropaenia), gastrointestinal (nausea, abdominal pain, constipation) and respiratory systems (cough, dyspnea). No drug-drug interaction studies have been submitted and no drug interactions have been reported in human subjects

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Known to be CNS penetrant in rodents. Human data not available.

Sample Use Guides

The recommended dose is 50 mg/m^2 of pixantrone on day 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle for up to 6 cycles.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In separate 72-hour growth-inhibitory assays using direct cell counting, the etoposide-resistant K/VP.5 cells were 21.6-fold cross-resistant to pixantrone, yielding IC50 values of 0.04 and 0.85 uM for K562 and K/VP.5 cells, respectively.
