PurposeO6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) repairs DNA damage from alkylating agents by transferring the alkyl adducts from the O6-position of guanine in DNA to AGT. The folate analog O4-benzylfolic acid (O4BF) is an inhibitor of AGT with reported selectivity of the alpha-folate receptor in tumors. We studied plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pharmacokinetics and CSF penetration of O4BF in a non-human primate model.MethodsRhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)received O4BF (10–50 mg/kg) intravenously, and serial blood and CSF samples were obtained. Analyte concentrations in plasma were measured by HPLC/photo diode array, and an HPLC/MS/MS assay was used for CSF samples.ResultsA putative metabolite of O4BF was detected in plasma and CSF. O4BF and the metabolite inactivated purified AGT with ED50of 0.04 mcM. The median clearance of O4BF was 8 ml/min/kg and half-life was 1.1 h. The metabolite had a substantially longer half-life (>20 h) and greater AUC than O4BF. The AUC of the metabolite increased disproportionately to the dose of O4BF, suggesting saturable elimination. CSF penetration of O4BF and its metabolite was < 1%. At the 50 mg/kg dose level, the Cmaxin CSF for O4BF was less than 0.09 mcM and for the metabolite the Cmaxranged from 0.02 to 0.04 mcM (O4BF equivalents).ConclusionsConcentrations of O4BF and the metabolite in CSF exceeded the ED50of AGT; however, recently reported lack of receptor specificity and pharmacokinetic data suggesting saturable elimination of both O4BF and its metabolite may limit dose-escalation and future clinical development of this agent.
