The therapeutic utility of cytochrome P450-based enzyme prodrug therapy is well established by preclinical studies and in initial clinical trials. The underlying premise of this gene therapy is that intratumoral P450 expression leads to in situ activation of anticancer P450 prodrugs, such as cyclophosphamide (CPA), with intratumoral accumulation of its activated 4-OH metabolite. In mice bearing 9L gliosarcomas expressing the CPA 4-hydroxylase P450 2B6, enhanced tumor apoptosis was observed 48 h after CPA treatment; however, intratumoral 4-OH-CPA levels were indistinguishable from those of P450-deficient tumors, indicating that the bulk of activated CPA is derived from hepatic metabolism. In contrast, in 9L tumors expressing P450 2B11, a low Km CPA 4-hydroxylase, intratumoral 4-OH-CPA levels were higher than in blood, liver and P450-deficient tumors. Intratumoral 4-OH-CPA increased dose-dependently, without saturation at 140mgkg(-1) CPA, suggesting restricted tumor cell permeation of the parent drug. To circumvent this problem, CPA was administered by direct intratumoral injection, which increased the maximum concentration and area under the curve of drug concentration x time (AUC) of intratumoral 4-OH-CPA by 1.8- and 2.7-fold, respectively. An overall 3.9-fold increase in intratumoral 4-OH-CPA AUC, and in antitumor activity, was obtained when CPA release to systemic circulation was delayed using the slow-release polymer poloxamer 407 as vehicle for intratumoral CPA delivery. These findings highlight the advantage of gene therapy strategies that combine low Km P450 prodrug activation enzymes with slow, localized release of P450 prodrug substrates.
