3-Deazaguanine (3DG), an antipurine antimetabolite, has recently completed a phase I clinical trial at this Institute. The drug was given on a daily x 5 schedule by i.v. infusion over 0.25-2.16 h. The pharmacokinetics of 3DG during 16 courses were studied in 12 patients at doses of 200-800 mg/m2. 3DG in plasma was measured by an isocratic reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) procedure carried out on IBM phenyl columns at 40 degrees C using 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7) as the mobile phase and detection at 300 nm. Plasma decay of 3DG was biexponential in all patients. The AUC correlated linearly with dose at 200-600 mg/m2 but deviated from linearity at doses greater than 600 mg/m2. The drug was cleared rapidly from plasma; at doses of 200-600 mg/m2, the mean plasma clearance was 61.64 +/- 9.97 l/h and the mean terminal-phase elimination half-life was 1.6 +/- 0.6 h. The steady-state volume of distribution (98.9 +/- 29.1 l) and distribution coefficient (1.24 +/- 0.39 l/kg) indicated extensive tissue distribution for the drug. No statistically significant difference was observed between the pharmacokinetics of 3DG on day 1 and that on day 4 as evaluated in three patients for whom complete plasma data were available on both days.
