Abstract

Nicotinamide is a radiation sensitizer currently undergoing clinical testing. This was an experimental study to determine the importance of drug dose and time interval between drug administration and irradiation for radiosensitization. Nicotinamide (50-500 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into CDFI or C3H mice and drug plasma pharmacokinetics were determined by HPLC. Radiosensitization was measured in tumours and normal tissues after local irradiation. The tumours were a C3H mammary carcinoma, the KHT sarcoma and the SCCVII carcinoma. Tumour response was assessed using either growth delay (C3H) or clonogenic survival (KHT/SCCVII). Normal tissue toxicities evaluated included early responding skin (development of moist desquamation of the foot) and late responding bladder (reservoir function estimated by cystometry) and lung (ventilation rate measured by plethysmography). All nicotinamide peak plasma concentrations were seen within 30 min after injection. Irradiating tumours at peak times resulted in enhancement ratios (ERs) of 1.27 (C3H), 1.75 (KHT) and 1.45 (SCCVII) with high nicotinamide doses and 1.27 (C3H), 1.28 (KHT) and 1.36 (SCCVII) after giving clinically relevant doses (100-200 mg/kg). Lower ERs were observed when ...Continue Reading
