Abstract:
PURPOSE:Low-dose methotrexate (MTX) therapy is the cornerstone treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and may enhance the activation of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) to 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN). Yet, data have established that high-dose MTX (HDMTX) hampers the accumulation of 6-TGN in red blood cells (RBC) and lymphoblasts. METHODS:To clarify the pharmacokinetic interactions between these two antimetabolites, we serially measured RBC 6-TGN and MTX polyglutamates (MTXPG) levels following repeated courses of HDMTX (5 g/m(2) over 24 h) with daily oral 6-MP (25 mg/m(2)) during interval therapy in 20 children with ALL. RESULTS:HDMTX produced a rapid reduction in RBC 6-TGN 24 h after the start of MTX, and this effect was sustained at least by the third day (median decrease -21%; P < 0.001). However, a return to pre-infusion of 6-TGN levels was observed by the time of the following HDMTX course 14 days later (P < 0.001). RBC MTX polyglutamates accumulation followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics but was not associated with the change in pre-infusion 6-TGN levels which remained stable during the interval period. CONCLUSION:HDMTX does not appear to enhance 6-MP activation to 6-TGN. Moreover, given that the deleterious effect of HDMTX on intracellular 6-MP disposition has been shown to be several folds greater in lymphoblasts than in RBC. Our data warrant additional studies elucidating the optimal MTX dose synergizing with 6-MP.
