Duodenal biopsies were collected from animals in each group via endoscopy and were incubated in the presence of | '1l|ili> miilim- as an Adult pure-bred beagle dogs of both sexes (Marshall Farms, North Rose, NY) were divided into three treatment groups (n = 5): ADR,2 i.v. Adriamycin-HCl (Adria Labs, Columbus, OH) at 30 mg/m2; WBH, whole-body hyperthermia at 42°Cfor 1 h; and ADR plus WBH, 42°C index of cell turnover. Additional duodenal biopsies were assayed for the enzymes 7-glutamyltranspeptidase, /V-acetyl-j8-i>-glucosaminidase, and succinate dehydrogenase. Complete blood chemistry profiles and differ ential blood cell counts were done prior to and following treatment. Cell turnover was most depressed 3 days after ADR or ADR plus WBH; \YBII alone had little effect on cell turnover. Neither 7-glutamyltrans peptidase, /V-acetyl-iS-D-glucosaminidase, nor succinate dehydrogenase activities were significantly altered by any of the treatment protocols. High performance liquid Chromatograph) was used to quantify Adri amycin and adriamycinol in samples collected up to 6 h after drug administration. Duodenal biopsies were collected immediately and I h after drug administration for measurement of tissue concentrations of Adriamycin. A significant increase in the apparent volume of distribution and whole-body clearance and decrease in area under the plasma Adria mycin concentration versus time curve occurred when drug was adminis tered concurrently with YVBII.This differs from results reported in some other mammalian species. INTRODUCTION Hyperthermia has been shown to potentiate cytotoxicity of several antitumor drugs, including the anthraeycline antibiotic Adriamycin (1-3). At the cellular level, hyperthermic conditions lead to an increased influx of Adriamycin into cells and in creased cell kill (4). The in vivo situation is clearly more com plex, because it includes additional factors; most notably, drug delivery to a given tissue must be considered. Milligan et al. (5) reported that whole-body hyperthermia increased blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract, heart, and pancreas. The phenomenon of increased drug delivery to the gastrointestinal tract is supported by a report of bloody diarrhea in dogs after concurrent whole-body hyperthermia and Adria mycin (6). Other studies have reported nonuniform drug deliv ery with concurrent whole-body hyperthermia (7). The purpose of this study was to determine whether wholebody hyperthermia altered the pharmacokinetics of Adriamycin and whether the concurrent administration of whole-body hy perthermia and Adriamycin increased gastrointestinal toxicity.

Dogs were fasted over night before treatment but were given free access to water. In all groups, dogs were premedicated with butorphanol (0.4 mg/lb), diazepam (0.2 mg/lb), and atropine (0.04 g/lb); anesthesia was mask-induced and maintained with isoflurane. WBH (42°C)was induced in appropriate groups with a thermal blanket that utilized recirculating heated water. Temperature was monitored using a Bailey TM-10A with internal calibration and i.p., i.m., and rectal thermocouples (one probe/site). Rectal temperature was used as the primary indicator for monitoring purposes; approximately 1 h was needed to raise rectal temperature to 42°C. Adriamycin Pharmacokinetics. In the ADR and ADR plus WBH groups, venous blood (3 ml) was collected immediately, at 15, 30, and 45 min and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 h after Adriamycin administration. Duodenal biopsies were collected via endoscopy immediately after and 1 h after drug administration, for measurement of ADR tissue concen trations. All samples were placed on ice immediately, blood was then centrifuged, and the plasma and biopsies were stored at —20°C until analysis. Plasma extraction of ADR and its metabolites was carried out using a modification of the method of Robert (12). Briefly, daunomycin was added as internal standard to I ml plasma, and the sample was purified using C-18 Sep-Pak minicolumns (Waters Assoc., Milford, MA), with phosphate buffer and methanol. Duodenal biopsies were homogenized with a Dounce tissue grinder in 1 ml phosphate buffer and then treated like plasma (13). The HPLC system consisted of a ^-Bondapak phenyl (10-cm x 80mm) column protected by a CN-type Guardpak (Waters Associates) column. The mobile phase consisted of a gradient of 0.1% ammonium formate (pH 4.0) and acetonitrile. Fluorescence of the eluate was monitored with excitation at 480 nm and emission at 550 nm (Waters model 470 detector). Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using an automated curve-stripping program followed by a SAS-based nonlinear regression program. Calculation of parameters shown in Table 1 was as follows: C'fO= extrapolated drug concentration in the central compartment at time = 0 (•„ = dose/C^ Kfó= dose/fi- AUC, where fi is the slope of the elimination phasee V¿m= dose/K- AUC, where K is the first-order elimination rate constant CL = dose/AUC I'.;.,= In 2/«,where H is the slope of the distribution phase /vin= In 2//ÃŽ, where ß is the slope of the elimination phase AUC was calculated by the trapezoidal method (14).

Statistical comparison of these parameters was performed using the Wilcoxon test (SAS, Cary, NC). Cell Turnover. Duodenal biopsies were collected via endoscopy prior to treatment and at the following times after treatment: 1 h, 3 days, and 7 days. Six biopsies were collected at each time and placed in polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes (two biopsies/tube) containing 1 ml ice-cold Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate/glucose buffer. Procaine penicil lin G (2000 units/ml), dihydrostreptomycin (0.25 mg/ml), and gentamicin (0.05 mg/ml) were added to eliminate bacterial growth. [3H]Thymidine (0.5 ¿iCi;ICN Biomedicals, Costa Mesa, CA) was added, and the open vials were placed in a 37°Cwater bath for 1 h. The atmosphere of the bath was maintained at 5% COV95% Ch. At the end of the incubation, DNA was extracted with perchloric acid and quantified with diphenylamine, as described by Leyva and Kelley (15). ['H]Thymidine uptake was quantified by mixing aliquots of the acid extract with Pico-Flor 40 (Packard, Downers Grove, IL) and counting (Packard liquid scintillation analyzer model 1500). Histopathology. Duodenal biopsies were collected for histopathological examination prior to treatment and on day 3 following treatment. Biopsies were fixed in neutral buffered formalin prior to sectioning, hemotoxylin-eosin staining, and light microscopic examination. Enzyme Assays. Duodenal biopsies were collected prior to treatment and on day 3 following treatment, for assay of GGT, NAG, and SDH. These assays were performed according to the micromethods developed by Andersen et al. (16). When necessary, multiple biopsies for a given time were combined to give a sample size of at least 5 mg.

TIME, WITH HYPF.RTHERMIA samples were homogenized in 1 ml of ice-cold 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.O. with a Dounce tissue grinder (Wheaton, Millville, NJ). Protein concen tration of this homogenate was determined using the Bio-Rad protein assay (Bio-Rad, Richmond. CA). GGT and NAG assays consisted of incubation of homogenate aliquots with the fluorescently labeled sub strate analogs A/-7-glutamyl-<v-naphthylamide and 4-methylumbelliferyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-£i-r>-glucopyranoside, respectively. At 40 and 60 min for GGT and NAG. respectively, the reactions were stopped, and liberated fluorescent label was quantified using a Perkin-Elmer LS5B fluorometer. The SDH assay was based on reduction of piodonitrotetrazolium to its UV-absorbing form. p-Iodonitrotetrazolium-formazan was then extracted with ethyl acetate and quantified using a Shimadzu UV-visible spectrophotometer (490 nm). RESULTS Pharmacokinetics. The HPLC system used in this study was capable of separating daunomycin (internal standard), ADR, and the metabolites of ADR, ADR-OL, ADR aglycone, and ADR-OL aglycone. ADR-OL was the only metabolite detected in significant quantities in the plasma; however, its appearance varied between dogs. Whole-body hyperthermia decreased peak plasma concentrations of ADR-OL [0.0126 ±0.0016 Mg/ml (mean ±SE) versus 0.573 ±0.020 Mg/ml; P = 0.09]. Repre sentative plasma concentration versus time profiles are shown in Fig. 1. ADR aglycone and ADR-OL aglycone (both at <5 ng/ml) were seen in four animals (two ADR, two ADR plus WBH). ADR aglycone was detected no later than 45 min after drug administration in the ADR group and no later than 5 min after drug administration in the ADR plus WBH group. ADROL aglycone was detected up to 30 min after drug administra tion in the ADR group and up to 15 min after drug administra tion in the ADR plus WBH group. Plasma elimination of ADR was best described by a twocompartment model (Fig. 2) characterized by a rapid distribu tion phase (t<A„ = 0.07 h) and a slower elimination phase (f,/1(j= 1.34 h). WBH induced significant changes in clearance (CL), apparent volumes of distribution (Vdc, Vde, Vdmi), and AUC (Table 1). ADR concentrations in duodenal samples did not differ sig nificantly between the two drug treatment groups. WBH caused higher ADR concentrations initially, followed by more rapid elimination of ADR from the duodenal epithelium (Fig. 3); however, these differences were not statistically significant. Cell Turnover. Cell turnover data showed considerable vari ability. Although comparisons of mean cell turnover values, at specific time points, to pretreatment control values were not statistically significant, some trends were seen (Fig. 4).

Biopsies were collected immediately after and l h after drug administration from dogs receiving drug alone (ADR) or drug concurrent with 42°Chyperthermia (ADR plus WBH). Thymidine uptake in drug-containing groups (ADR, ADR plus WBH) reached a maximum depression on day 3 following treatment, whereas the WBH group values were most depressed on the day of treatment. The two drug-containing groups had similar responses; their absolute differences were probably due to the higher pretreatment values of the ADR plus WBH group. Histopathology and Clinical Parameters. Duodenal biopsies from each treatment group were histopathologically normal. Complete blood counts and chemistry panels were normal; mean values within groups were never outside the clinically normal range. Creatinine clearance was significantly reduced on day 3, compared to pretreatment clearance (4.04 versus 2.67 ml/min-kg), in the ADR plus WBH group. Posttreatment creatinine clearance was within normal limits for the ADR and WBH treatment groups. Enzyme Assays. Activities for the enzymes GGT, NAG, and SDH were not statistically changed by the treatment protocols, when day 3 samples were compared to pretreatment (Table 2). Posttreatment GGT activity was increased slightly in the WBH and ADR plus WBH treatment groups, whereas the ADR group was relatively unchanged. DISCUSSION Altered plasma or tissue concentrations of Adriamycin or its metabolites resulting from concurrent administration of wholebody hyperthermia may affect toxicity towards cancer cells as well as normal tissues. Only Adriamycin and adriamycinol have been previously described in the dog (17). In the present study, the HPLC system used was capable of separating Adriamycin, adriamycinol, and the respective aglycones. All four compounds were detected in plasma; no metabolites were detected in duo denal biopsies. The alcohol derivative of Adriamycin, ADROL, probably does not have significant antitumor activity but has been implicated in Adriamycin-induced cardiotoxicity (18). Increased cardiotoxicity in humans receiving concurrent wholebody hyperthermia and Adriamycin has been reported ( 19). The present study did not examine the ADR-OL content of cardiac tissues; however, our results indicate that peak ADR-OL plasma concentrations were increased by hyperthermia. This study demonstrated that whole-body hyperthermia al tered the pharmacokinetics of Adriamycin in the normal dog. Specifically, increases in the rate of drug distribution to tissue and the volume of distribution of drug occurred. An increase in whole-body clearance, a decrease in AUC, and a trend toward decreased peak plasma concentration (CA))were noted. These increases in tissue distribution did not seem to result in overt toxicity to the duodenum. Although changes in other parame ters were seen (e.g., B, ß,and K/r), these changes were not statistically significant, probably due to small sample size and variability within groups. Various investigators have reported different results for Adri amycin pharmacokinetics in response to whole-body hyperther mia. Daly et al. (6) reported no change in mean Adriamycin plasma concentrations during 43°Chyperthermia induced by extracorporeal heating of blood in heparinized dogs. Animals were given a dose (2 mg/kg) comparable to the dose used in the present study, but spectrofluorometric methods were used and pharmacokinetic parameters were not calculated for the four animals used. Daly's study reported bloody diarrhea lasting for 7 days after treatment, which was attributed to increased drug levels in the gastrointestinal tissues. Mimnaugh et al. (20) reported that WBH affected only the initial rate of Adriamycin distribution to tissues (fi..,J in rabbits and not the volume of distribution. This conflicts with our finding of increased vol umes of distribution of Adriamycin with concurrent hyperther mia. Mimnaugh et al. also reported that whole-body hyperther mia did not increase Adriamycin concentrations in tissue sam ples (including duodenum) collected 60 min after treatment, with the exception of cardiac muscle. Our finding of a tendency toward decreased peak ADR plasma concentration (CAl) with WBH also does not agree with Mimnaugh's significantly in 15 a. WITH HYPERTHERM1A 10 o >I DAY Fig. 4.

ADRIAMYCIN PHARMACOKINETICS results of the present study are similar to the changes in the pharmacokinetic disposition of cisplatin when it is administered concurrently with whole-body hyperthermia to dogs (7). The differences in pharmacokinetics may be attributable to different physiological responses to hyperthermia in the two species. Ex vivo ['H]thymidine incorporation has been used to study the effects of drugs on intestinal mucosa proliferarne activity (23). In the present study, a single dose of Adriamycin decreased proliferative activity in the duodenal mucosa for at least 2 days; however, activity returned to normal by 1 week. A pilot study evaluating cell turnover on days 1-7 showed maximum depres sion of activity on day 3; therefore, dogs in this study were biopsied only on days 1, 3, and 7, to minimize anesthesia and trauma to the gastrointestinal tract. Whole-body hyperthermia alone produced little change in the proliferative activity of duodenal mucosa. The depression of proliferative activity seen in the groups receiving Adriamycin can be attributed to the well documented effects of Adriamycin on DNA replication systems (24-27). The effects include inhibition of DNA topoisomerase II and intercalation into DNA, both of which may interfere with DNA replication. The variability in these data may be a result of the inherent nonuniformity in biopsy size and depth. Differences in the number of villus tips versus crypt cells could be reflected in cell turnover rates. Additionally, ['Hjthymidine incorporation in larger biopsies may have been limited by diffusion of labeled thymidine into the entire biopsy. The results of the enzyme assays indicated that the treatment protocols significantly affected neither GGT, NAG, nor SDH activities. These enzymes are brush border, lysosomal, and mitochondrial enzymes, respectively (28). The activities of these three enzymes have been shown to be altered by intestinal disease (28). There seemed to be a slight induction of GGT in the hyperthermic groups, which was not seen in the ADR group. The reason for this enzyme induction is not clear. Significant changes in complete blood counts and serum chemistry parameters were not seen in the present study. These parameters would more likely be changed with repeated drug administration. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that whole-body hy perthermia increases the distribution of Adriamycin in the normal dog. There is not, however, a uniform increase to all tissues. It seems likely that blood flow to tumors in various tissues would differ, just as it differs in various normal tissues. Whether the pharmacokinetic changes seen would increase or decrease Adriamycin concentrations in a spontaneous tumor and the effect on tumor cell killing would likely depend on the location of the tumor. Whole-body hyperthermia also increased clearance of Adriamycin from plasma, which may be a result of increased excretion as well as distribution. Since fractionated hyperthermia protocols are often used clinically, the effects of repeated heating on plasma and tissue pharmacokinetics and toxicity should be examined. Additionally, because blood flow patterns probably change during hyperthermia, the question of pharmacokinetics after continuous infusion with concurrent hyperthermia needs to be addressed.
