159351-69-6 Usage
Uses
Used in Transplantation Medicine:
Everolimus is used as an immunosuppressant to prevent rejection of organ transplants. It is marketed under the trade names Zortress (USA) and Certican (Europe) and is often used in conjunction with cyclosporin.
Used in Oncology:
Everolimus is used for the treatment of various types of tumors, including renal cell cancer. It is marketed under the trade names Afinitor (general tumors) and Votubia (tumors as a result of TSC). It inhibits cytokine-mediated lymphocyte proliferation and has shown to reduce the incidence of efficacy failure and cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in transplant patients.
Used in Drug Development:
Everolimus is a starting material for calibrators, controls, or linearity standards for therapeutic drug monitoring or clinical and diagnostic testing in patient whole blood samples by LC-MS/MS.
Used in Pharmaceutical Formulation:
The 40-O-(2-hydroxyethyl) group in Everolimus alters the physico-chemical properties of the macrolide, allowing for galenic formulation and improved pharmacokinetics compared to Rapamycin.
Everolimus is extensively metabolized, primarily by CYP3A4, and is well-tolerated in transplant patients. However, it may cause adverse events such as thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, and elevated serum lipids and creatinine.
Indications
Everolimus is indicated for the treatment of numerous diseases and disorders. It indicated for the treatment of the following cases including both tumors and organ transplantation:
Patients with advance kidney cancer[7];
Postmenopausal women with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer(advanced HR+ BC)?in combination with exemestane, after failure of treatment with letrozole or anastrozole[8-10];
Adult patients with progressive neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic origin(PNET)?with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease[9, 10];
Adult patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma(RCC)?after failure of treatment with sunitinib or sorafenib;
Adult patients with renal angiomyolipoma and tuberous sclerosis complex(TSC), not requiring immediate surgery[11];
Pediatric and adult patients with tuberous sclerosis complex(TSC)?for the treatment of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma(SEGA)?that requires therapeutic intervention but cannot be curatively resected[12];
Adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex(TSC)-associated partial-onset seizures[10];
Preventing the organ rejection during/after renal and liver transplantation[14, 15];
Progressive, well-differentiated non-functional, neuroendocrine tumors[NET] of gastrointestinal(GI)?or lung origin with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease[16].
Mode of action
The mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)?pathway is one of the most clinically important molecular signalling networks to emerge over the past decade. It is the protein kinase at the core of this intricate and continually evolving pathway, controls cellular growth and behavior, impacting vital processes from immune reactivity to cancer progression[17, 18]. Everolimus is an mTOR inhibitor that binds with high affinity to the FK506 binding protein-12(FKBP-12), thereby forming a drug complex that inhibits the activation of mTOR[19-20]. This inhibition reduces the activity of effectors downstream, which leads to a blockage in the progression of cells from G1 into S phase, and subsequently inducing cell growth arrest and apoptosis. Everolimus also inhibits the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor, leading to a decrease in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor[19, 20]. The result of everolimus inhibition of mTOR is a reduction in cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and glucose uptake. Since highly expression of mTOR is an important factor that promoting the cancer, blocking mTOR by Everolimus can effectively treat some kinds of cancer and the organ rejection due to immune response during/after organ transplantation[21, 22].
Pharmacokinetics
Oral everolimus is absorbed rapidly, and reaches peak concentration after 1.3–1.8 hours. Steady state is reached within 7 days, and steady-state peak and trough concentrations, and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), are proportional to dosage. In adults, everolimus pharmacokinetic characteristics do not differ according to age, weight or sex, but bodyweight-adjusted dosages are necessary in children.
Adverse reactions
Some serious adverse reactions associated with Everolimus include non-infection pneumonitis, infections, severe hypersensitivity reactions, angioedema with concomitant use of ACE inhibitors, stomatitis, renal failure, impaired wound healing, metabolic disorders and myelosuppression[10]. Various common side effects include Bloating or swelling of the face, arms, hands, lower legs, or fee bloody nose, chest pain or tightness, chills, cough, decreased weight, diarrhea, difficult or labored breathing, difficulty with swallowing, fever, general feeling of discomfort or illness, hoarseness, lower back or side pain, painful or difficult urination, rapid weight gain, sores, ulcers, or white spots on the lips, tongue, or inside the mouth and tingling of the hands or feet[23]. Less common side effects include bleeding gums, bloody urine, blurred vision, burning, crawling, itching, numbness, prickling, or tingling feelings, coughing up blood, extreme tiredness or weakness, fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeat or pulse, increased thirst or urination, irregular breathing, loss of appetite, nausea, nervousness, nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding from cuts, red or black, tarry stools, red or dark brown urine, slow heartbeat, stomach ache, sweating, unusual tiredness or weakness and vomiting[23].
Warning and precautions
People who are allergic to Everolimus should be disabled. Since it can increase your risk of serious infections or getting certain cancers, such as lymphoma or skin cancer. The patients should ask their doctor about the specific risk[10, 23].
Patients who have the following conditions should consult for doctor for advice before administration: problem in digesting lactose or galactose(sugar); high cholesterol or triglycerides; liver disease; a heart transplantation; or skin cancer in them or their family members[23].
Since it may harm the unborn baby as well as affect fertility(the capability to have children), women should take effective birth control during administration of Everolimus and for at least eight weeks after stopping drugs. Should consult the doctor for advice if you want to or has become pregnant. It may also affect the fertility of men as well. It is generally not recommended to have breast-feed during the administration of Everolimus for women[10, 23].

Biochem/physiol Actions
Everolimus, the 40-O-(2-hydroxyethyl) derivative of rapamycin (sirolimus), is a potent and selective inhibitor of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Everolimus is selective for the mTORC1 protein complex. Everolimus exhibit potent immunosuppressive and anticancer activities.
Clinical Use
#N/A
Synthesis
Everolimus (IX) was
discovered by Sandoz (Novartis) scientists by modifying
rapamycin drug in the 40-hydroxyl position. Thus,
treatment of rapamycin (84) with t-butyldimethylsilyloxy
ethyl triflate in the presence of 2,6-lutidine at 60°C for 3.5
hrs gave ether 85. Deprotection of the silyl group was done
by treating silyloxy ether 85 in methanol with 2N HCl to
give the product IX (everolimus), which was purified by
chromatography. No yields were given for the reactions.
Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
ACE-Is: increased risk of angioedema.
Antibacterials: erythromycin, clarithromycin and
telithromycin increase everolimus levels - avoid
with clarithromycin and telithromycin; rifampicin
decreases everolimus levels by factor of 3.
Antidepressants: St John’s wort decreases everolimus
levels.
Antifungals: concentration increased by ketoconazole
and possibly itraconazole, posaconazole and
voriconazole - avoid.
Antipsychotics: increased risk of agranulocytosis
with clozapine - avoid.
Antivirals: concentration possibly increased by
atazanavir, darunavir, indinavir, ritonavir and
saquinavir - avoid; concentration significantly
increased by dasabuvir and ombitasvir/paritaprevir/
ritonavir - avoid concomitant use.
Calcium channel blockers: concentration of both
drugs increased with verapamil.
Ciclosporin: increases everolimus AUC by 168% and
Cmax by 82%.
Cytotoxics: concentration increased by imatinib -
consider reducing everolimus dose.
Grapefruit juice: increases everolimus levels.
Metabolism
Everolimus is metabolised in the liver and to some
extent in the gastrointestinal wall, and is a substrate of
P-glycoprotein and the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme
CYP3A4. Six main metabolites of everolimus have
been detected in human blood, including three
monohydroxylated metabolites, two hydrolytic ringopened products, and a phosphatidylcholine conjugate
of everolimus. These metabolites were shown to have
approximately 100 times less activity than everolimus
itself. Following the administration of a single dose of
radiolabelled everolimus, 80% of the radioactivity was recovered from the faeces, while 5% was excreted in the
urine. The parent substance was not detected in urine or
faeces.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 159351-69-6 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,5,9,3,5 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 9 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 159351-69:
(8*1)+(7*5)+(6*9)+(5*3)+(4*5)+(3*1)+(2*6)+(1*9)=156
156 % 10 = 6
So 159351-69-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
