The mechanisms underlying the circadian rhythm of the toxicity induced
by irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11;
7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino]carbonyloxycamptothecin) were investigated from the viewpoint of the sensitivity of living organisms and the pharmacokinetics of the drug. ICR male mice were
housed under standardized light-dark cycle conditions (lights on at
0700, off at 1900) with food and water ad libitum. The
loss of body weight after an intraperitoneal injection of CPT-11 (100 mg/kg) was more serious in the late dark and the early light and milder
in the late light and the early dark. The CPT-11-induced leukopenia was
more serious in the late dark and milder in the late light. The lower
toxicity of CPT-11 was observed when DNA synthesis and type I DNA
topoisomerase activity in bone marrow cells decreased and the higher
toxicity was observed when these activities began to increase. There
were circadian stage-dependent changes in the concentrations of CPT-11
and its major metabolite (SN-38; 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin) in
plasma. The higher concentrations of CPT-11 and SN-38 in plasma were
observed when the level of CPT-11-induced toxicity increased. The
present study suggests that the toxicity of CPT-11 is influenced by
circadian rhythm-dependent processes.
