SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include nausea, vomiting, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Other symptoms include somnolence, lethargy, hallucinations, confusion, agitation, cerebellar ataxia, paresthesias, myalgia, decrease of deep tendon reflexes, hypotension and allergic skin reactions. Exposure may cause arthralgia, fever, weakness, dermatitis, coma, alopecia and convulsions. It may also cause anorexia, stomatitis, diarrhea, drowsiness and depression. Other symptoms include bone marrow depression, hemolysis, bleeding tendencies, psychoses, dizziness, peripheral neuropathy, tremors, flu-like syndrome, pulmonary reactions, tachycardia, ocular defects such as blurred vision and papilledema, impaired liver function, shortness of breath, pneumonitis and productive cough. It may also cause reversible depression of peripheral leukocyte and platelet counts, optic neuroretinitis and pulmonary eosinophilia. Other symptoms include hemolytic anemia, dry mouth, dysphagia, constipation, fatigue pruritus, herpes, hyperpigmentation, flushing, intercurrent infections, pleura effusion, edema, jaundice, headache, apprehension, nervousness, inability to focus, insomnia, pyrexia, hypersensitivity reactions, hemorrhage, pancytopenia eosinophilia, petechiae, purpura, epistaxis, hemoptysis, hematemesis, melena, nystagmus, urticaria, hearing loss, diaphoresis, chills, hoarseness, slurred speech, enteritis, nightmares, falling, unsteadiness, abdominal pain, syncope, retinal hemorrhage, photophobia, diplopia, hematuria, urinary frequency, nocturia, foot drop and fetal harm. Exposure to this compound and alcohol can cause flushing of the head and neck, palpitations, sweating, hypotension and dyspnea.
PROCARBAZINE HYDROCHLORIDE
Alkylating Drug [EPC]; Alkylating Activity [MoA]
UsesProcarbazine hydrochloride USP is used to traet Hodgkin’s disease; non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas; lung cancer.
UsesAntineoplastic.
UsesAntineoplastic;DNA replication inhibitor
General DescriptionWhite to pale yellow crystalline powder with a slight odor. Acid to litmus.
General DescriptionProcarbazine is available in 50-mg tablets for oral administrationin the treatment of Hodgkin’s (part of MOPP) andnon-Hodgkin’s disease, brain cancer, and mycosis fungoides.The major mechanisms of resistance appear to beenhanced activity of DNA-repair enzymes including enhancedO-6-alkylguanine DNA transferase (AGAT),which removes the methyl group from the O-6 of guanine.The agent is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administrationand extensively metabolized in the liver togive azo-procarbazine followed by further oxidation tomethyldiazine and the aldehyde. The parent drug andmetabolites cross the blood-brain barrier. Elimination occursin the urine mostly as metabolites with an eliminationhalf-life of 1 hour. Myelosuppression is dose limiting, generallypresenting as thrombocytopenia that may be followedby leucopenia. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenasedeficient patients may develop hemolytic anemia duringprocarbazine therapy. Other adverse effects include nausea,vomiting, hypersensitivity, flulike symptoms, amenorrhea,and azoospermia. Central nervous symptom effectsmay be seen, including lethargy, confusion, neuropathies,and seizure.

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: If a spill of this chemical occurs you should dampen the solid spill material with water and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container Use absorbent paper dampened with acetone to pick up any remaining material. Seal your contaminated clothing and the absorbent paper in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with acetone followed by washing with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.
RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR: Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH-approved half face respirator equipped with a combination filter cartridge, i.e. organic vapor/acid gas/HEPA (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid gas, SO2 and a high efficiency particulate filter).
