ABSTRACT
The pharmacokinetics of 5-azacytidine (5-azaCR) and tetrahydrouridine (THU) were considered in evaluating the effect of THU on chemotherapy with 5-azaCR in L1210 leukemia mice. The administration of three different dose levels of THU and 5-azaCR ip in either a 6- or 72-hour infusion gave minimal increases in therapeutic effect. At the high-dose combinations (except in the 72-hour infusion), THU appeared to enhance toxicity. Toxicity, however, occurred only after exceeding a theoretic plasma concentration for 5-azaCR of 61 microgram/ml. THU was effective in increasing the excretion of 5-azaCR by sixfold and in altering its urinary metabolites when given simultaneously with or up to 1 hour prior to 5-azaCR.
