Adsorption of irinotecan onto oral adsorbent AST-120 (KremezinTM) for preventing delayed diarrhea
2006
Purpose
One of the significant dose-limiting toxicities of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) is severe diarrhea due to impairment of the intestinal membrane induced by the excreted CPT-11 and its metabolites. AST-120 (Kremezin) is a prominent oral adsorbent that consists of porous spherical carbonic particles. To evaluate whether Kremezin can prevent the diarrhea induced by CPT-11, we investigated the adsorption characteristics of CPT-11 and its metabolites onto Kremezin in vitro and in vivo.
