Adriamycin was administered by IV injection to seven patients with various solid tumors at a dose of 30 mg/m2 during successive courses. Extraction was carried out by the SEP-PAK method for plasma and by solvents for urine. Plasma and urinary levels of adriamycin and adriamycinol were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography over 72-h period after injection. Pharmacokinetic parameters for adriamycin and adriamycinol were calculated for each course of treatment. The results show significant inter- and intra-individual variations in the kinetics and elimination of both compounds. The analysis of pharmacokinetic data reveals a wide variability in the fluctuations observed during the successive courses in different patients. This study confirms the time-dependency of ADR kinetics.
