3'-C-ethynylcytidine (Ethynylcytidine, TAS-106) is a synthetic cytidine nucleoside containing a covalently bound ethynyl group with potential antineoplastic and radiosensitizing activities. 3'-C-ethynylcytidine is metabolized in tumor cells to ethynylcytidine triphosphate (ECTP), which inhibits RNA synthesis by competitive inhibition of RNA polymerases I, II and III; subsequently, RNase L is activated, resulting in apoptosis. RNase L is a potent antiviral and antiproliferative endoribonuclease that cleaves singled stranded RNA, causes 28s rRNA fragmentation, and activates Janus Kinase (JAK), a mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis signaling molecule. Development of a cytosine derivative of 3'-ethynyl ribonucleoside, TAS-106, as an intravenously administered treatment for solid tumours was discontinued. A phase II trial in patients with head and neck cancer was terminated in the US.

Sample Use Guides

Thirty patients were treated with 66 courses of TAS-106 at eight dose levels ranging from 0.67-9.46 mg/m(2). A cumulative sensory peripheral neuropathy was the principal dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of TAS-106 at the 6.31 mg/m(2) dose level, which was determined to be the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The recommended phase II dose of TAS-106 is 4.21 mg/m(2).
Route of Administration: Intravenous
he IC50 values of Ethynylcytidine in the five human tumors with 4, 24 and 72 h exposure range from 0.114 to 1.032 uM, 0.015 to 0.067 uM, and 0.008 to 0.058 uM, respectively.
