Gemcitabine Hydrochloride for Injection
Function and Efficacy
This product is a cell cycle specific antimetabolite drug, which mainly acts on tumor cells in the DNA synthesis phase, that is, S phase cells. Under certain conditions, it can prevent the progression from G1 phase to S phase. It has obvious cytotoxic activity against various cultured human and mouse tumors. Its anticancer activity is related to the drug resistance mode. For example, daily administration will lead to animal death, while the anticancer activity is very small. When the drug is given once every 3 to 4 days, it has good anticancer activity against various tumors in mice at non-lethal doses. Gemcitabine is a prodrug and is a good substrate for deoxythymidine kinase phosphorylation in cells. It is converted into the following metabolites under the action of enzymes: gemcitabine monophosphate (dFdCMP), gemcitabine diphosphate (dFdCDP) and gemcitabine triphosphate (dFdCTP), of which dFdCDP and dFdCTP are active products. dFdCDP inhibits ribonucleotide reductase and reduces the amount of deoxynucleotides (especially dCTP) required for repair of DNA synthesis. Low levels of dCTP transfer normal negative feedback inhibition of deoxyside kinase, resulting in more accumulation of dFdCTP. At the same time, dFdCDP inhibits the deamination of dFdCMP by deoxycytidine aminoaminase induced by dCT, and dFdCTP directly inhibits deoxycytidine deamination, thereby converting more dFdCMP into active metabolites dFdCDP, dFd-CTP, and dFdCTP competes with dCTP to enter the DNA chain, insert into the site of deoxycytidine in the DNA chain, and allow guanosine to pair with it. The gemcitabine molecule is shielded by this guanosine to prevent it from being removed and repaired by ribonuclease exonuclease, and then DNA chain synthesis stops, leading to DNA breakage and cell death.

This product is a cell cycle specific antimetabolite drug, which mainly acts on tumor cells in the DNA synthesis phase (S phase), and can prevent the progression from the G1 phase to the S phase under certain conditions; it has obvious cytotoxic activity against various cultured human and mouse tumors, and its anticancer activity is related to the mode of administration. Gemcitabine is a prodrug, which is converted into active metabolites gemcitabine monophosphate (dFdCMP), gemcitabine diphosphate (dFdCDP) and gemcitabine triphosphate (dFdCTP) after phosphorylation by deoxythymidine kinase in cells. Among them, dFdCDP inhibits ribonucleotide reductase, reduces the amount of deoxynucleotides (especially dCTP), and at the same time, low levels of dCTP relieve the negative feedback inhibition of deoxycytidine kinase, resulting in more accumulation of dFdCTP; dFdCDP and dFdCTP promote the formation of active metabolites by inhibiting deoxycytidine aminotransferase and deoxycytidine deoxygenase, respectively. dFdCTP competes with dCTP for incorporation into the DNA chain, inserts into the deoxycytidine site and allows guanosine pairing, which is then shielded from exoribonuclease repair, ultimately leading to cessation of DNA chain synthesis, breakage, and cell death.

Appearance
This product is white freeze-dried block.
Indication
Suitable for the treatment of intermediate and advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Usage and Dosage
The recommended dose of gemcitabine for adults is 1000 mg/m2 intravenous infusion for 30 minutes once a week for three consecutive weeks, followed by a one-week break, and repeated every four weeks. The dose is reduced accordingly based on the patient's toxicity. Elderly patients: Elderly patients over 65 years old can also tolerate it well. Although age has an effect on the clearance and half-life of gemcitabine, there is no evidence that elderly patients need to adjust the dose.
Adverse Reactions
1. Blood system: bone marrow suppression, anemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia may occur. 2. Gastrointestinal tract: about 2/3 of patients have abnormal liver transaminase, mostly mild, non-progressive damage; about 1/3 of patients have nausea and vomiting reactions, and 20% of patients need drug treatment. 3. Kidney: about 1/2 of patients have mild proteinuria and hematuria, and some cases have unexplained renal failure. 4. Allergies: about 25% of patients have skin rashes, 10% of patients have itching, and less than 1% of patients may have bronchospasm. 5. Others: about 20% of patients have flu-like symptoms; the incidence of edema/peripheral edema is about 30%; the incidences of hair loss, lethargy, diarrhea, oral toxicity and constipation are 13%, 10%, 8%, 7% and 6% respectively.
Precautions
1. Patients who are allergic to the ingredients of this product are prohibited from using it. 2. Pregnant women are prohibited from using it.
Special Population Medication
Precautions for children: Gemcitabine has not been studied in children, so it should be used with caution in children. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: Pregnant women are prohibited from using this drug. Precautions for the elderly: There is no significant change in tolerance in elderly patients over 65 years old. Although age has an effect on the clearance and half-life of gemcitabine, there is no evidence that the dose needs to be adjusted in elderly patients.
Drug Interactions
In a trial for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, patients who were treated with 1000 mg/m2 of gemcitabine and given 6 weeks of continuous chest radiotherapy developed severe, even life-threatening toxic reactions, including esophagitis and pneumonia, especially when receiving high-dose radiotherapy. Currently, there is no suitable combination of gemcitabine and therapeutic dose radiotherapy for combined treatment.
