Temonat uses


Temonat (Temodar and Temodal) is an oral alkylating agent used for the treatment of refractory anaplastic astrocytoma - a type of cancerous brain tumor. Temonat is not active until it is converted at physiologic pH to the active form, 5(3-methyltriazen-1-yl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (MTIC).

Indication: For the treatment of adult patients diagnosed with anaplastic astrocytoma whose disease has progressed after therapy with nitrosourea and procarbazine, as well as concomitantly with radiation therapy for treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme. Also used as maintenance therapy for glioblastoma multiforme.

Temonat is an imidazotetrazine deritave and an antineoplastic agent. It is a prodrug that has little to no pharmacological activity until it is hydrolyzed in vivo to 5-(3-methyltriazen-1-yl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (MTIC). After administration, Temonat undergoes rapid, nonenzymatic hydrolysis at physiological pH to MTIC, which is the active form of the drug. MTIC is generated through the effect of water at the highly electropositive C4 position of Temonat, causing the ring of Temonat to open, release carbon dioxide, and generate MTIC.
