Abstract:4'-(9-Acridinylamino)-methanesulfon-m-anisidide (m-AMSA) is an acridine compound that has been found useful in the systemic treatment of acute leukemia. This paper specifically investigates the CSF pharmacokinetics of m-AMSA following both intravenous and intraventricular administration in a subhuman primate model. Following intravenous administration, m-AMSA crossed the blood-brain barrier poorly; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations were only 1-3% of systemic concentrations. Intraventricular administrati… Show more
