• Beschreibung

  Bischloroethyl nitrosourea (BCNU) is a mustard-gas-derived alkylating agent that underwent clinical trials for use as an antineoplastic agent in the mid-1960s. Intravenous BCNU received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for brain tumor treatments in 1977. Further development and trials led to the FDA approval of a BCNU-impregnated polymer wafer for use as an intracavity surgical adjunct for recurrent glioblastoma moltiforme in 1996. These wafers were again reapproved in 2003 for use in high-grade malignant glioma as an adjunct to surgery and radiation.

• Beschreibung

  Carmustine is a nitrogen mustard β-chloro-nitrosourea compound that is used as an alkylating agent. It forms interstrand crosslinks in DNA, which prevents DNA replication and transcription leading to apoptosis. Carmustine is also reported to inhibit glutathione reductase, thioredoxin reductase, and lipoamide dehydrogenase. Carmustine has been tested in clinical trials as a cytostatic agent for Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, myeloma, malignant melanoma, glioblastoma, and other brain tumors.

  An alkylating and carbamoylating nitrosourea compound. It interacts with DNA, RNA and proteins causing DNA interstrand cross linking which is cytotoxic and leads to apoptotic cell death

• Definition

  ChEBI: A member of the class of N-nitrosoureas that is 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)urea in which one of the nitrogens is substituted by a nitroso group.

• Manufacturing Process

  A solution of sodium nitrite (6.9 g, 0.10 mole) in water (60 ml) was added dropwise to a cold (0-5°C), stirred solution of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)urea (8.0 g, 0.044 mole) in formic acid (50 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred further at 0°C until the pale yellow oil that had formed solidified. The nitrosourea was collected and washed quickly with cold water (2 x 10 ml), and dried in vacuum; yield 6.7 g. (71%).

• Allgemeine Beschreibung

  Carmustine is available in a 100-mg vial for IV administrationin the treatment of several types of brain tumors,Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s disease, and multiplemyeloma. The agent is also available as an implantablewafer containing 7.7 mg of drug for intracavity implantationin the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme. Cytotoxicity isassociated with cross-linking of DNA and RNA and carbamoylationof glutathione reductase. Cross-resistance isnot seen with other alkylating agents. The agent is very lipidsoluble and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, achievingconcentrations greater than 50% of those seen in plasma.Metabolism involves both the nonenzymatic formation ofreactive intermediates that may react with glutathione andother thiol-containing proteins, as well as enzymatic reductivedenitrosation and dechlorination. The half-life of theagent in plasma is short (15–20 minutes) because of rapiddecomposition. Myelosuppression is dose limiting and maypresent as thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, or more rarely asanemia. This is generally seen 24 to 48 days after treatment.Pulmonary toxicity occurs rarely at low doses but at highdoses such as those seen during bone marrow transplantmay present as dyspnea, cough, pulmonary infiltrates, andprogress to respiratory failure. This may be seen years afterthe completion of therapy. Other toxicities include nausea,vomiting, pain at the injection site, impotence, sterility,amenorrhea, and infertility. Hepatotoxicity may initiallypresent as elevations in serum transaminase levels. There isalso an increased risk of secondary cancers as is often seenwith the alkylating agents.

• mögliche Exposition

  BCNU has been used since 1971 as an antineoplastic agent in the treatment of Hodgkin’slymphoma; multiple meyloma; and primary or metastatic brain tumors. It also has been reported to have antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal activity, but no evidence was found that it is used in these ways. BCNU is not known to be naturally occurring. Health professionals who handle this drug (for example, pharmacists, nurses, and physicians) may possibly be exposed to BCNU during drug preparation, administration, or cleanup; however, the risks can be avoided through use of containment equipment and proper work practices

• Arzneimittelwechselwirkung

  Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
  Antipsychotics: avoid with clozapine (increased risk of agranulocytosis).

• Erste Hilfe

  Skin Contact: Flood all areas of body that havecontacted the substance with water. Do not wait to removecontaminated clothing; do it under the water stream. Usesoap to help assure removal. Isolate contaminated clothingwhen removed to prevent contact by others. Eye Contact:Remove any contact lenses at once. Immediately flush eyeswell with copious quantities of water or normal saline for atleast 20-30 min. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Leavecontaminated area immediately; breathe fresh air. Properrespiratory protection must be supplied to any rescuers. Ifcoughing, difficult breathing, or any other symptomsdevelop, seek medical attention at once, even if symptomsdevelop many hours after exposure. Ingestion: Contact aphysician, hospital, or poison center at once. If the victim isunconscious or convulsing, do not induce vomiting or giveanything by mouth. Assure that the patient’s airway is openand lay him on his side with his head lower than his bodyand transport immediately to a medical facility. If consciousand not convulsing, give a glass of water to dilute the substance. Vomiting should not be induced without a physician’s advice.

• Carcinogenicity

  Bis(chloroethyl) nitrosourea (BCNU) is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.

• Environmental Fate

  It is generally assumed that BCNU exerts its cytotoxicity through the liberation of alkylating and carbamoylating moieties. An alkylating entity, particularly chloroethyl carbonium ion, is strongly electrophilic and can alkylate a variety of biomolecules, including the purine and pyrimidine bases of DNA. BCNU causes DNA interstrand cross-linking, which is associated with cytotoxicity. The carbamoylation of lysine residues of protein can inactivate certain enzymes, thus interfering with DNA and RNA synthesis and repair processes. The inhibition of glutathione reductase by this carbamoylation further contributes to cytotoxicity.

• Stoffwechsel

  Intravenous carmustine is rapidly metabolised, and no intact drug is detectable after 15 minutes. It is partially metabolised to active metabolites by liver microsomal enzymes, which have a long half-life. It is thought that the antineoplastic activity may be due to metabolites. Approximately 30% of a dose is excreted in the urine after 24 hours, and 60-70% of the total dose after 96 hours. About 10% is excreted as respiratory CO2 . Terminal halflife of the metabolites is about 1 hour.

• Toxicity evaluation

  There is no information available on the environmental fate of BCNU. However, it is predicted that BCNU spontaneously decomposes due to its high reactivity. Estimates indicate that the half-life of BCNU particulates and vapor in air is 4.4 days. Though expected to be highly mobile when adsorbed to soil and suspended solids, it is likely that this adsorption may be precluded by hydrolysis. Volatilization from soil or water is not expected, and the potential for bioaccumulation is low. BCNU degrades into 2-chloroethylamine, which is not considered hazardous to the environment.

• Inkompatibilitäten

  Acids and acid solutions above pH 7 cause rapid decomposition. Most stable at pH 4 in aqueous solution or petroleum ether.

• Waste disposal

  It is inappropriate and possibly dangerous to the environment to dispose of expired or waste pharmaceuticals by flushing them down the toilet or discarding them to the trash. Household quantities of expired or waste pharmaceuticals may be mixed with wet cat litter or coffee grounds, double-bagged in plastic, discard in trash. Larger quantities shall carefully take into consideration applicable DEA, EPA, and FDA regulations. If possible return the pharmaceutical to the manufacturer for proper disposal being careful to properly label and securely package the material. Alternatively, the waste pharmaceutical shall be labeled, securely packaged and transported by a state licensed medical waste contractor to dispose by burial in a licensed hazardous or toxic waste landfill or incinerator.
