BOXED WARNING
Melphalan should be administered under the supervision of a qualified
physician
experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Severe bone
marrow
suppression with resulting infection or bleeding may occur. Controlled
trials
comparing intravenous (IV) to oral melphalan have shown more
myelosuppression
with the IV formulation. Hypersensitivity reactions, including
anaphylaxis, have
occurred in approximately 2% of patients who received the IV
formulation.
Melphalan is leukemogenic in humans. Melphalan produces chromosomal
aberrations in vitro and in vivo and, therefore, should be considered
potentially
mutagenic in humans.
Melphalan, also known as L-phenylalanine mustard, phenylalanine
mustard, L-PAM, or L-
sarcolysin, is a phenylalanine derivative of nitrogen mustard.
Melphalan is a bifunctional
alkylating agent that is active against selected human neoplastic
diseases. It is known
chemically as 4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]- _L_-phenylalanine. The
molecular formula is C
H
Cl
N
O
and the molecular weight is 305.20. The structural formula is:
melphalan-structure
Melphalan is the active L-isomer of the compound and was first
synthesized in 1953 by
Bergel and Stock; the D-isomer, known as medphalan, is less active
against certain
animal tumors, and the dose needed to produce effects on chromosomes
is larger than
that required with the L-isomer. The racemic (DL-) form is known as
melphalan or
sarcolysin.
Melphalan is practically insoluble in water and has a pKa
of ∼2.5.
Melphalan hydrochloride for Injection is supplied as a sterile,
nonpyrogenic, white to off
white lyophilized cake or powder. Each single-use vial contains
melphalan hydrochloride
equivalent to 50 mg melphalan and 20 mg povidone. Melphalan
hydrochloride for
Injection is reconstituted using the sterile diluent provided. Each
vial of sterile diluent
contains sodium citrate 0.2 g,
