ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Etoposide is a semi-synthetic derivative of podophyllotoxin used in
the treatment of certain neoplastic
diseases.
_In vitro_, etoposide has cytostatic action, which prevents the cells
from entering mitosis
or destroys
them in the premitotic phase. Etoposide interferes with the synthesis
of DNA and has a secondary
effect on arresting cells in resting (G
2
) phase in experiments with human lymphoblastic cell lines.
Etoposide has a marked action on human hemopoietic cells causing
leukopenia and
thrombocytopenia. Animal experiments have shown evidence of
teratogenicity.
An intravenous dose (259 mg/m
2
) of tritium-labelled etoposide given over one hour in man,
showed the mean volume of distribution to be 32% of body weight. The
plasma decay was
biphasic with a beta half-life of 11.5 hours. Urinary recovery was 44%
of which 67% was
unchanged drug. Recovery in feces was variable (1.5 - 16%) over a
three-day period.
In a limited number of children, etoposide administered in a do
