Topotecan is primarily eliminated by the kidneys, with 60 to 70% of
the dose recovered as topotecan total in the urine. To elucidate the
mechanisms of topotecan renal clearance, we evaluated the effect of
probenecid on topotecan renal and systemic disposition in mice.
Topotecan lactone or hydroxy acid (1.25 mg/kg i.v.) was administered
alone or in combination with probenecid (600 or 1200 mg/kg) given by
oral gavage 30 min before and 3 hr after topotecan. Serial blood
samples (three mice per time point) and urine samples (five mice per
treatment arm) were collected during a 6-hr period. Compared with
topotecan alone, coadministration of topotecan lactone or hydroxy acid
with probenecid (600 mg/kg) decreased topotecan lactone, total, and
hydroxy acid systemic clearance, and total renal clearance. The
predominant effect of probenecid was to increase hydroxy acid area
under the plasma concentration time curve after administration of
topotecan lactone (238.8 vs. 109.9 ng·hr/ml alone,
P < .05), or hydroxy acid (1297.2 vs. 355.0 ng·hr/ml alone, P < .05). By inhibiting renal tubular
secretion, probenecid decreased renal and systemic clearance which led
to an increase in topotecan systemic exposure. These data suggest that
probenecid primarily inhibited secretion of the anionic hydroxy acid
form, and by direct or indirect mechanisms increased topotecan lactone
systemic exposure. Topotecan elimination through renal tubular
secretion may have clinical relevance for the use of topotecan in
patients with altered renal function.
