/PRECAUTIONS FOR ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS:/ Class 100 clean-air work stations, both horizontal and vertical airflow (with no containment characteristics), are inappropriate engineering controls for handling hazardous drugs because they provide no personnel protection and permit environmental contamination. Although there are no engineering controls designed specifically for the safe handling of hazardous chemicals as sterile products, Class II contained vertical-flow biological safety cabinets (biohazard cabinets) have been adopted for this use. Biohazard cabinetry is, however, designed for the handling of infectious agents, not hazardous chemicals. ... Based on design, ease of use, and cost considerations, Class II contained-vertical-flow biohazard cabinetry is currently recommended for use in preparing sterile doses of hazardous drugs. Class II cabinetry design and performance specifications are defined in NSF Standard 49. Biological safety cabinets selected for use with hazardous drugs should meet NSF Standard 49 specifications to ensure the maximum protection from these engineering controls. /Antineoplastic agents/

Chemotherapy with mitomycin in combination with other agents is associated with serum enzyme elevations in a proportion of patients, depending upon the dose and other agents used. ALT elevations during mitomycin therapy are usually asymptomatic and transient and may resolve without dose modification. In many instances, it is difficult to attribute the liver test abnormalities to mitomycin, because of the exposure to other potentially hepatotoxic agents. High doses of mitomycin have been linked to cases of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, typically presenting with right upper quadrant pain 10 to 30 days after the infusion, followed by weight gain, ascites and liver test abnormalities. Fatalities due to hepatic failure have occurred, but most patients recover within 1 to 3 months of onset. The frequency of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome limits the dosage of mitomycin that can be used in cancer chemotherapy and in myeloablation in preparation for bone marrow transplantation. There have been no convincing instances of acute, clinically apparent idiosyncratic liver injury with jaundice associated with mitomycin therapy.；Likelihood score: B[H] (very likely but now uncommon cause of sinusoid obstruction syndrome when given in high doses and in combination with other cytotoxic agents).

IARC Carcinogen - Class 3: Chemicals are not classifiable by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Bone marrow toxicity is the most commonly reported adverse effect, occurring in most patients treated with mitomycin in one study. It produces cumulative myelosuppression. Thrombocytopenia and possibly leukopenia may occur anytime within the first two months after beginning therapy, with an average duration of one month. The recovery time after the termination of therapy was about ten weeks. About 25% of the leukopenic or thrombocytopenic episodes were permanent and did not return to baseline levels. As these patients are already immunocompromised, extreme caution is necessary to ensure further bone marrow suppression does not contribute to overwhelming subsequent infections.；Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) has been observed in patients receiving systemic medication, with an incidence of In another study, nausea, fever, vomiting, and anorexia occurred in up to 14% of people taking mitomycin. Alopecia and stomatitis occurred in up to 4% of individuals. Roughly 2% of the patients showed a statistically significant rise in creatinine. However, there was no correlation between the dose given or duration of therapy with the degree of renal impairment.；Pulmonary toxicity has been infrequently reported, with patients presenting with dyspnea, nonproductive cough, and pulmonary infiltrates on radiologic imaging. Vinca alkaloids, a common class of chemotherapeutic agents, also showed severe or life-threatening dyspnea and bronchospasm within minutes to hours of mitomycin administration. Adult respiratory distress syndrome has also occurred in patients receiving mitomycin with other medications.；The most frequent adverse events with ocular administration of mitomycin occur locally and include blebitis, hypotony maculopathy, hypotony, endophthalmitis, cataract development, vascular reactions, and corneal reactions.

Pulmonary toxicity is a rare but well-documented adverse effect of mitomycin C. In one trial at the Mayo Clinic, despite pre-medication with the use of corticosteroids, pulmonary toxicity occurred, with changes in diffusing lung capacity of 9 and PaO2 of 49 mm Hg. A significant number of patients who had bronchoscopies had changes noted on pulmonary histology consistent with lung injury.；Despite initial responses to corticosteroids, 40% of patients still experienced progressive pulmonary insufficiency despite very high corticosteroid doses. Attention must focus on the chronic and progressive phase of lung toxicity associated with mitomycin C, as this event is a largely underestimated complication of the treatment regimen.

Mitomycin is activated in vivo to a bifunctional and trifunctional alkylating agent. Binding to DNA leads to cross-linking and inhibition of DNA synthesis and function. Mitomycin is cell cycle phase-nonspecific.

Mitomycin is one of the older chemotherapy drugs, which has been around and in use for decades. It is an antibiotic which has been shown to have antitumor activity. Mitomycin selectively inhibits the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The guanine and cytosine content correlates with the degree of mitomycin-induced cross-linking. At high concentrations of the drug, cellular RNA and protein synthesis are also suppressed. Mitomycin has been shown <i>in vitro</i> to inhibit B cell, T cell, and macrophage proliferation and impair antigen presentation, as well as the secretion of interferon gamma, TNFa, and IL-2.

Mitomycin is activated in vivo to a bifunctional and trifunctional alkylating agent. Binding to DNA leads to cross-linking and inhibition of DNA synthesis and function. Mitomycin is cell cycle phase-nonspecific.

The drug inhibits DNA synthesis and cross-links DNA at the N6 position of adenine and at the O6 and N2 positions of guanine. In addition, single-strand breakage of DNA is caused by reduced mitomycin; this can be prevented by free radical scavengers. Its action is most prominent during the late G1 and early S phases of the cell cycle.

SUGGESTED ALKYLATING METABOLITES OF CARCINOGENS: MITOMYCIN C: REDUCTION PRODUCTS. /FROM TABLE/

Inactivation occurs by metabolism, but the products have not been identified. It is metabolized primarily in the liver, and less than 10% of the active drug is excreted in the urine or the bile.

The drug is eliminated primarily by hepatic metabolism with about 20% hepatic extraction and 10-30% recovery of intact drug in the urine. Clearance is 0.3-0.4 l/hr/kg.

Mitomycin disappears rapidly from the blood after intravenous injection. It is widely distributed but does not appear to cross the blood-brain barrier. Mitomycin is metabolized mainly in the liver; up to 10% of a dose is excreted unchanged in the urine.

MITOMYCIN

Mechanisms of Action [MoA] - Alkylating Activity

Established Pharmacologic Class [EPC] - Alkylating Drug

Mitomycin is an Alkylating Drug. The mechanism of action of mitomycin is as an Alkylating Activity.

MITOMYCIN

Highly reactive chemicals that introduce alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevent their proper functioning. Many are used as antineoplastic agents, but most are very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. They have also been used as components in poison gases.

Chemical substances, produced by microorganisms, inhibiting or preventing the proliferation of neoplasms.

Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

Compounds that inhibit cell production of DNA or RNA.

Mitomycin is absorbed inconsistently from the gastrointestinal tract, and it is therefore administered intravenously. It disappears rapidly from the blood after injection. Peak concentrations in plasma are 0.4 ug/ml after doses of 20 mg/m sq ... The drug is widely distributed throughout the body but is not detected in the brain.

In animals, highest mitomycin concentrations are found in the kidneys, followed by muscles, eyes, lung, intestines, and stomach. The drug is not detectable in the liver, spleen, or brain which rapidly inactivate mitomycin. Higher concentrations of the drug are generally present in cancer tissues than in normal tissues.

Used as an alkylating agent in cancer chemotherapy; [HSDB]
