id="_Pentostatin_OVERVIEW_">OVERVIEW</h2><div id="Pentostatin.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Pentostatin is a purine analogue and antineoplastic agent used in the therapy of hairy cell leukemia and T cell lymphomas. Pentostatin is associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevations during therapy and has been linked to rare instances of severe acute liver injury with jaundice.</p></div><div id="Pentostatin.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Pentostatin (pen" toe stat' in) is a purine analogue (2'-deoxycoformycin) that is used in the treatment of hairy cell leukemia and T cell lymphomas. Pentostatin is a transition state analogue of a major intermediate in the pathway of the adenosine deaminase reaction. As a consequence, pentostatin inhibits adenosine deaminase and causes accumulation of intracellular adenosine and deoxyadenosine which cause a block DNA synthesis. This imbalance of nucleotide pools is particularly toxic to lymphocytes. Pentostatin was found to have marked activity against hairy leukemia and T cell lymphomas and was approved for this use in the United States in 1991. Pentostatin is available as a solution for injection generically and under the trade name Nipent. The typical dose regimen is 4 mg/m<sup>2</sup> given intravenously every other week for 6 months. Repeat courses are recommended only for patients who have a response and later relapse. Common side effects include bone marrow suppression, fever, infections, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, headache, fatigue and skin rash. Because pentostatin tends to deplete normal T cells, opportunistic infections can occur and immunosuppression can persist for months or years after discontinuation. At high doses, pentostatin can cause severe renal and neurologic toxicity and in combination with fludarabine can cause pulmonary toxicity. Pentostatin also has embryo-fetal toxicity.</p></div><div id="Pentostatin.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In clinical trials, serum enzymes elevations occurred in up to 25% of patients receiving pentostatin, but the abnormalities were generally mild and transient and rarely required dose modification. Clinically apparent liver injury from pentostatin is rare, but striking instances of severe liver injury leading rapidly to multiorgan failure and death have been described both in adults and children. The time to onset varied from a few days to six months. The possible role of shock, ischemia, opportunistic infections and sepsis in these cases has not always been well defined. Both hepatocellular and cholestatic patterns of enzyme elevations have been described. Immunoallergic features and autoantibodies were not typical.</p><p>Likelihood score: D (possible rare cause of clinically apparent liver disease).</p></div><div id="Pentostatin.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>In several instances, hepatic toxicity from pentostatin appeared to be somewhat dose related, suggesting that the liver injury is a direct effect of the purine analogue. Because pentostatin is a potent immunosuppressive agent, the possibility exists that some cases of hepatic injury are due to reactivation of hepatitis B or other opportunistic infections. While pentostatin has not been shown to cause reactivation of hepatitis B, there is a strong possibility that it might induce this syndrome, and several cases of hepatic injury during pentostatin therapy were described as due to concurrent hepatitis B.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntineoplasticAgents/?report=reader">Antineoplastic Agents</a>, Antimetabolites</p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, <a href="/books/n/livertox/PurineAnalogues/?report=reader">Purine Analogues</a>: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Azathioprine/?report=reader">Azathioprine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Cladribine/?report=reader">Cladribine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Clofarabine/?report=reader">Clofarabine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Fludarabine/?report=reader">Fludarabine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Mercaptopurine/?report=reader">Mercaptopurine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Nelarabine/?report=reader">Nelarabine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Thioguanine/?report=reader">Thioguanine</a></p></div></div><div id="Pentostatin.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Pentostatin_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
