Dacarbazine for injection

Function and Efficacy

1 Pharmacology: This product has anti-tumor effects. Since it is a precursor of purine biosynthesis, it can interfere with purine biosynthesis. After entering the body, it demethylates in the liver microsomes to form monomethyl compounds, which have direct cytotoxic effects. It mainly acts on the G2 phase. It inhibits the synthesis of purine, RNA and protein, and also affects the synthesis of DNA. Therefore, it is also considered to be an alkylating anti-tumor drug. 2 Toxicology: The experimental results show that the acute median lethal dose (LD50) of this product for mice injected intraperitoneally is 815mg/kgplusmn;50.9mg/kg.

Indication

This product is used to treat malignant melanoma

Usage and Dosage

1. Intravenous injection. 200-400mg/m2 per day, for 5-10 days. To reduce irritation to blood vessels, use 10-15ml of normal saline, dissolve it, and then dilute it with 250ml of 5% glucose solution and drip it. It takes more than 30 minutes to drip it. 5-10 days of continuous use is a course of treatment. Generally, it is repeated every 3-6 weeks. For malignant melanoma of the limbs, arterial injection with a nutrient dose can be used. The blood concentration reaches a peak 30 minutes after each intravenous injection, drops to zero within 6 hours, and 30% is excreted in the urine within 0-6 hours. It cannot pass the blood-brain barrier. Single large dose: 650-1450mg/㎡, once every 4-6 weeks. 2. Intravenous drip: 200mg/㎡ each time, once a day, for 5 consecutive days, and repeated every 3-4 weeks. 3 Arterial perfusion: Arterial perfusion: Malignant melanoma located in the limbs can be treated with the same dose of arterial injection.

Adverse Reactions

1. Gastrointestinal reactions: such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., which may be alleviated or disappear after 2 to 8 hours. 2. Bone marrow suppression: It may cause a decrease in white blood cells and platelets, and anemia, which is more obvious at high doses. Generally, a decrease in blood count occurs 2 to 3 weeks after medication, and it may return to normal in the 4th to 5th week. 3. A small number of patients may experience "flu"-like symptoms, such as general discomfort, fever, and muscle pain, which may occur 7 days after medication and last for 1 to 3 weeks.
