The hematologic toxicity of arabinosylcytosine (Ara-C) and carboplatin (CBDCA) as well as the stimulating effect of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) on murine bone marrow vary according to their dosing time along the 24-h time scale. In the present study, we investigated whether the tolerability of Ara-C or CBDCA, given at their least toxic circadian time, could be improved further with AcSDKP, a negative regulator of hemopoiesis, rhG-CSF or both. A total of 228 B6D2F1 mice received once-daily injection of either Ara-C (42 mg/kg/d s.c.) for 7 d (d 0-6) at 8 hours after light onset - HALO) or CBDCA (40 mg/kg/d i.p.) for 5 d (d 2-6) at 16 HALO. AcSDKP (24 microg/d) was continuously infused for 7 d (d 0-6), using an osmotic minipump. rhG-CSF (400 microg/kg/d s.c.) was injected for 4 d (d 9-12) at 9 HALO. Subgroups of mice were sacrificed at 3 HALO on various days following treatment. AcSDKP significantly increased CFU-GM count on d 7 and leukocyte, neutrophil and monocyte counts on d 13 and d 16 compared to Ara-C alone. Also, rhG-CSF produced similar protective effects to those of AcSDKP with regard to leukocyte and CFU-GM counts. The combination of AcSDKP with rhG-CSF induced a further increase in total leukocytes and their subsets as compared to either agent alone, but did not alter the CFU-GM counts. Neither AcSDKP nor rhG-CSF nor their combination reduced CBD CA-induced hematological toxicity. In conclusion, AcSDKP or rhG-CSF administration further improved the tolerability of Ara-C beyond that already achieved with optimal circadian timing, while no such effect was observed in mice receiving CBDCA at the dose used. The results warrant further exploration of chronopharmacologic delivery schedules combining Ara-C with AcSDKP.
