  • Protein binding2.0
  • Volume of distribution (VD)22.0~22.4 L/m2 (or 0.5 to 1.3 L/kg), tends to be higher in children compared with adults.
  • Blood/Plasma Partitioning ratio (D_blood)N/A
  • MetabollsmHydrolysed, by dihydropyrimidine amidohydrolase (DHPase) to 1-ring and 2-ring open EDTA (ethylenediamminetetra-acetate)-like products. Metabolites (active) include a diacid–diamide cleavage product and the two monoacid–monoamide ring products.
  • Half life2.1~2.5 h
  • ExcretionDexrazoxane is excreted in urine as the unchanged drug and the metabolites. Approximately 42% of a dose is recovered in urine.
  • Urinary ExcretionN/A
  • Clerance6.25~7.88 L/h/m2, tends to be higher in children than adults.
  • ToxicityHaematological toxicity can occur, caused by chemotherapy, but is more common in dexrazoxane-treated patients. Dose-limiting leucopenia has been observed with doses > 4000 mg/m2 dexrazoxane (on its own) but there is no evidence of cumulative toxicity.
  • LD50 (rat)Intravenous, dog LD10 = 2 gm/kg.
  • LD50 (mouse)Intraperitoneal, mouse LD10 = 500 mg/kg
