To better characterize the disposition of cytosine arabinoside (Ara‐C) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), its kinetics were studied in seven patients with meningeal leukemia in complete remission. After intraventricular injection of 30 mg Ara‐C, CSF and plasma samples were obtained over a 24‐hr period. Ara‐C levels were measured by a reverse‐phase HPLC assay (with a sensitivity of 0.5µM in CSF and 1.0 µM in plasma) that readily separated Ara‐C from its major metabolite uracil arabinoside (Ara‐U). Elimination of Ara‐C from CSF followed a biphasic pattern, with an initial t½ of 1 hr and a terminal t½ of 3.4 hr. Ara‐C clearance from CSF was 0.42 ml/min, suggesting that drug elimination was primarily by CSF bulk flow. The ratio of the AUC of Ara‐U to the AUC of Ara‐C was 0.08, indicating only minor metabolism of Ara‐C to Ara‐U in CSF, in contrast to that after systemic Ara‐C. Despite initial CSF Ara‐C concentrations exceeding 2 mM, Ara‐C was not detectable in plasma in any patient. Intraventricular Ara‐C results in very high levels in CSF, but systemic tissues are relatively spared from exposure to Ara‐C.
