Anaphylaxis, dyspnea, flushing, and chest pain have been reported. Temsirolimus should be used with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug or its metabolites (eg, sirolimus), polysorbate 80, or any other ingredient in the formulation.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 1242
Pretreatment with an antihistamine prior to each dose of temsirolimus is recommended to prevent hypersensitivity reactions. Temsirolimus should be used with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to antihistamines or with conditions requiring avoidance of antihistamines.

The safety and pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus were evaluated in a dose escalation phase 1 study in 110 patients with normal or varying degrees of hepatic impairment. Patients with baseline bilirubin >1.5 x ULN experienced greater toxicity than patients with baseline bilirubin /= grade 3 adverse reactions and deaths, including deaths due to progressive disease, were greater in patients with baseline bilirubin >1.5 x ULN. temsirolimus is contraindicated in patients with bilirubin >1.5 x ULN due to increased risk of death. Use caution when treating patients with mild hepatic impairment. Concentrations of temsirolimus and its metabolite sirolimus were increased in patients with elevated AST or bilirubin levels. If temsirolimus must be given in patients with mild hepatic impairment (bilirubin >1 - 1.5 x ULN or AST >ULN but bilirubin

No clinical studies were conducted with temsirolimus in patients with decreased renal function. Less than 5% of total radioactivity was excreted in the urine following a 25 mg intravenous dose of (14)C-labeled temsirolimus in healthy subjects. Renal impairment is not expected to markedly influence drug exposure, and no dosage adjustment of temsirolimus is recommended in patients with renal impairment.

Following administration of a single 25 mg dose of temsirolimus in patients with cancer, mean temsirolimus Cmax in whole blood was 585 ng/mL (coefficient of variation, CV =14%), and mean AUC in blood was 1627 ng.hr/mL (CV=26%). Typically Cmax occurred at the end of infusion. Over the dose range of 1 mg to 25 mg, temsirolimus exposure increased in a less than dose proportional manner while sirolimus exposure increased proportionally with dose. Following a single 25 mg intravenous dose in patients with cancer, sirolimus AUC was 2.7-fold that of temsirolimus AUC, due principally to the longer half-life of sirolimus.

Sirolimus, an active metabolite of temsirolimus, is the principal metabolite in humans following intravenous treatment. The remainder of the metabolites account for less than 10% of radioactivity in the plasma.

Temsirolimus is metabolized by hydrolysis to sirolimus, the principal active metabolite. Both temsirolimus and sirolimus also are metabolized by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isoenzyme 3A4. Although temsirolimus is metabolized to sirolimus, temsirolimus itself exhibits antitumor activity and is not considered a prodrug.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 1243
The in vitro metabolism of temsirolimus, (rapamycin-42-[2,2-bis-(hydroxymethyl)]-propionate), an antineoplastic agent, was studied using human liver microsomes as well as recombinant human cytochrome P450s, namely CYP3A4, 1A2, 2A6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, and 2E1. Fifteen metabolites were detected by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS or MS/MS/MS). CYP3A4 was identified as the main enzyme responsible for the metabolism of the compound. Incubation of temsirolimus with recombinant CYP3A4 produced most of the metabolites detected from incubation with human liver microsomes, which was used for large-scale preparation of the metabolites. By silica gel chromatography followed by semipreparative reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, individual metabolites were separated and purified for structural elucidation and bioactivity studies. The minor metabolites (peaks 1-7) were identified as hydroxylated or desmethylated macrolide ring-opened temsirolimus derivatives by both positive and negative mass spectrometry (MS) and MS/MS spectroscopic methods. Because these compounds were unstable and only present in trace amounts, no further investigations were conducted. Six major metabolites were identified as 36-hydroxyl temsirolimus (M8), 35-hydroxyl temsirolimus (M9), 11-hydroxyl temsirolimus with an opened hemiketal ring (M10 and M11), N- oxide temsirolimus (M12), and 32-O-desmethyl temsirolimus (M13) using combined LC-MS, MS/MS, MS/MS/MS, and NMR techniques. Compared with the parent compound, these metabolites showed dramatically decreased activity against LNCaP cellular proliferation.

Temsirolimus exhibits a bi-exponential decline in whole blood concentrations and the mean half-lives of temsirolimus and sirolimus were 17.3 hr and 54.6 hr, respectively.

Temsirolimus is an inhibitor of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). Temsirolimus binds to an intracellular protein (FKBP-12), and the protein-drug complex inhibits the activity of mTOR that controls cell division. Inhibition of mTOR activity resulted in a G1 growth arrest in treated tumor cells. When mTOR was inhibited, its ability to phosphorylate p70S6k and S6 ribosomal protein, which are downstream of mTOR in the PI3 kinase/AKT pathway was blocked. In in vitro studies using renal cell carcinoma cell lines, temsirolimus inhibited the activity of mTOR and resulted in reduced levels of the hypoxia-inducible factors HIF-1 and HIF-2 alpha, and the vascular endothelial growth factor.

Temsirolimus, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase, is an antineoplastic agent. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are involved in the initiation of various cascades of intracellular signaling events that lead to cell proliferation and/or influence processes critical to cell survival and tumor progression (eg, angiogenesis, metastasis), inhibition of apoptosis. Although the exact mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, temsirolimus binds with high affinity to the intracellular protein FK506 binding protein-12 in vitro, forming a drug-protein complex that inhibits the activation of mTOR, which regulates cell division. This disruption of mTOR signaling suppresses proteins that regulate cell-cycle progression, thereby blocking cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Inhibition of mTOR by temsirolimus also has been associated with reduced expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1alpha and 2alpha (HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha) in vitro, resulting in reduced expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and a potential antiangiogenic effect.

Temsirolimus inhibited T lymphocyte activity in mice, but the effects were reversible and T lymphocyte activity returned to normal within 24 hours of discontinuance. No consistent effect on lymphocyte population or activation was demonstrated in humans. However, infections may result from immunosuppression.

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signal transduction pathway integrates signals from multiple receptor tyrosine kinases to control cell proliferation and survival. Key components of the pathway are the lipid kinase PI3-K, the small guanosine triphosphate-binding protein Rheb, and the protein kinases Akt and mTOR. Important natural inhibitors of the pathway include the lipid phosphatase PTEN and the tuberous sclerosis complex. Several components of this pathway are targeted by investigational antineoplastic agents. Rapamycin (sirolimus), the prototypic mTOR inhibitor, exhibits activity in acute myeloid leukemia. Three rapamycin analogs, temsirolimus, everolimus, and AP23573, are in clinical trials for various hematologic malignancies. Temsirolimus has produced a 38% overall response rate in relapsed mantle cell lymphoma, and AP23573 has demonstrated activity in acute leukemia. Everolimus is undergoing clinical testing in lymphoma (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin) and multiple myeloma. In addition, perifosine, an inhibitor of Akt activation that exhibits substantial antimyeloma activity in preclinical models, is being examined in relapsed multiple myeloma. Based on results obtained to date, it appears that inhibitors of the PI3-K/mTOR pathway hold promise as single agents and in combination for hematologic malignancies.
