MedKoo Cat#: 100760 | Name: Procarbazine HCl
Featured New

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Procarbazine is an antineoplastic chemotherapy drug for the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma and certain brain cancers (such as glioblastoma multiforme). It is a member of a group of medicines called alkylating agents. The drug is metabolized and activated in the liver. It also inhibits MAO thus increasing the effects of sympathomimetics, TCAs, and tyramine. It gained FDA Approved in July 1969. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.

Biological target:
Procarbazine Hydrochloride is an alkylating agent, with anticancer activity.
In vitro activity:
Electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis combined with the use of 4-pyridyl-1-oxide-t-butyl nitrone (4-POBN) and dibromonitroso benzenesulfonic acid (DBNBS) as spin-trapping agents was used to characterize free radical generation during the metabolism of the anticancer agent procarbazine [N-isopropyl-a-(2-methylhydrazino)-p-toluamide hydrochloride]. The formation of free radical species, identified as methyl radicals, was observed during oxidation of procarbazine in rat liver microsomes and isolated hepatocytes in vitro. The metabolic pathway leading to free radical formation was characterized using various procarbazine metabolites and revealed strict analogies with previously published data on methane production from procarbazine. These results supported the identification of the trapped species as methyl free radical and suggested that C-oxidation of azoprocarbazine is the main source of radical intermediates derived from this anticancer drug.

In vivo activity:
Flow cytometry-based erythrocyte and T lymphocyte assays were employed in order to quantify the frequencies of cells deficient in glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored surface markers CD59 and CD48 (presumed mutants in the endogenous X-linked Pig-a gene) in rats. The rats were treated once daily with 100 mg/kg procarbazine HCl for 3 days. In addition, we sorted mutant-phenotype spleen T cells and immediately analysed their Pig-a gene using next generation sequencing of dual-indexed multiplex libraries and error-correcting data filtering. More than 100-fold increase in the frequencies of CD59-deficient RBCs was observed at Day 29 after the last administration, and a 10-fold increase in the frequency of CD48-deficient T cells was observed at Days 45 to 50. Sequencing revealed that, in T cells from procarbazine-treated rats, mutations in the Pig-a gene occurred predominantly at A:T basepairs when A was located on the non-transcribed DNA strand. A→T transversion was the most common mutation. The results suggest that, at least for the transcribed X-linked Pig-a gene, in vivo methyl guanine adducts are not the major contributors to mutations induced by procarbazine.
