갈륨 니트레이트

The structural formula of gallium nitrate is Ga(NO3)3. Gallium nitrate is an anhydrate salt that is very soluble in water and soluble in 95% ethanol. It is stable in commonly used intravenous fluids for 14 days at room temperature and at 5 ℃, and physically compatible for injection with selected drug products, with the exception of diazepam injection.This chemical is an oxidizer, and is probably combustible

개요Gallium nitrate, initially developed as an anticancer agent, was introduced by Fujisawa as an orphan drug for the treatment of cancer-related hypercalcemia and bone metastases that do not respond to adequate hydration. The compound acts specifically on bone by inhibiting calcium resorption and also possibly by stimulating bone formation. Compared with calcitonin and etidronate, gallium nitrate is more potent and substantially longer acting. Other potential uses could be in the treatment of osteoporosis and Paget’s disease.

용도Gallium is the second metal ion with clinical activity used in cancer treatment. Gallium nitrate has demonstrated antitumor activity in a variety of murine tumor models, including Walker 256 carcinosarcoma, fibrosarcoma M-89, leukemia K-1964, adenocarcinoma 755, mammary carcinoma YMC, reticulum cell sarcoma A-RCS, lymphoma P1798, and osteosarcoma 124F. It was, however, ineffective in ascites, leukemias, plasma cell tumors, or Ehrlich carcinoma. In phase II evaluation studies, gallium nitrate has shown antitumor activity in patients with either refractory lymphomas or small-cell lung carcinomas or bladder cancer, with total objective response rates of 28% and 11%, respectively. This drug has displayed its strongest antineoplastic activity in the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and bladder cancer. In addition, according to two phase III comparative trials,thanks to an inhibitory effect on calcium reabsorption from bone, gallium nitrate is superior to alternative therapies in the treatment of hypercalcemia associated with malignancy and related disease states. Based on its clinical efficacy, gallium nitrate (Ganite ) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancerassociated hypercalcemia.Apart from its ability to control hypercalcemia, gallium nitrate has been shown to inhibit bone turnover and decrease osteolysis in patients with multiple myeloma and in patients with bone metastases from a variety of different cancers.
