Peripheral neuropathy occurring during zalcitabine therapy generally is a sensorimotor neuropathy characterized initially as numbness and burning dysesthesia involving the distal extremities. When manifestations of peripheral neuropathy occur, they often become evident during the first 7-24 weeks of therapy and involve pain and discomfort in the feet, followed several weeks later by a burning dysesthesia in the same area. Clinically, patients may have diminished light touch, pin prick, temperature, and vibration sensations in the area of the feet and up to the midcalf; ankle deep-tendon reflexes may be decreased or absent. If the drug is not discontinued when these initial manifestations appear, sharp shooting pains or severe continuous burning pain may occur and can progress to severe pain requiring opiate analgesics and is potentially irreversible. Discomfort may be severe enough to cause gait disturbances. In some patients, manifestations of peripheral neuropathy progress to include the hands and are sometimes described as occurring in a stocking-and-glove pattern. Nerve biopsy and electrophysical studies indicate that axonal degeneration may occur.

Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis (sometimes fatal) have been reported rarely in patients receiving zalcitabine and also have been reported in patients receiving other nucleoside reverse transcriptase agents. Most reported cases have involved women; obesity and long-term therapy with a nucleoside antiretroviral also may be risk factors.

Moderate to severe peripheral neuropathy has been reported in 3-35% of patients receiving oral zalcitabine at usual dosage (0.75 mg every 8 hours) either alone or in conjunction with zidovudine. Peripheral neuropathy occurs more frequently in patients with advanced HIV infection than in those with less advanced disease.

The duration of clinical benefit from antiretroviral therapy may be limited. Alterations in antiretroviral therapy should be considered if disease progression occurs during treatment with zalcitabine.

For the treatment of Human immunovirus (HIV) infections in conjunction with other antivirals.
FDA Label
Zalcitabine is an analog of 2'-deoxycytidine that is pharmacologically related to but structurally different from other nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Zalcitabine inhibits the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) both by competing with the natural substrate dGTP and by its incorporation into viral DNA.
Anti-HIV Agents
Agents used to treat AIDS and/or stop the spread of the HIV infection. These do not include drugs used to treat symptoms or opportunistic infections associated with AIDS. (See all compounds classified as Anti-HIV Agents.)
Antimetabolites
Drugs that are chemically similar to naturally occurring metabolites, but differ enough to interfere with normal metabolic pathways. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p2033) (See all compounds classified as Antimetabolites.)
Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Inhibitors of reverse transcriptase (RNA-DIRECTED DNA POLYMERASE), an enzyme that synthesizes DNA on an RNA template. (See all compounds classified as Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors.)

Absorption
Bioavailability is over 80% following oral administration.
Route of Elimination
Renal excretion of unchanged drug appears to be the primary route of elimination, accounting for approximately 80% of an intravenous dose and 60% of an orally administered dose within 24 hours after dosing (n=19). Renal clearance exceeds glomerular filtration rate suggesting renal tubular secretion contributes to the elimination of zalcitabine by the kidneys.
Volume of Distribution
0.304 to 0.734 L/kg
Clearance
285 mL/min [HIV-infected patients receiving 1.5 mg IV infusion for 1 hour]
Zalcitabine is eliminated principally in urine. Approximately 60-70% of an oral dose or 75-80% of an IV dose of the drug is eliminated unchanged in urine within 24 hours; approximately 10% of an orally administered dose is eliminated in feces as unchanged drug and ddU.

Only limited information is available on the pharmacokinetics of zalcitabine in children; however, oral bioavailability of the drug appears to be lower in children than in adults. In a study in children 6 months to 13 years of age with symptomatic HIV infection, oral bioavailability of zalcitabine averaged 54% (range: 29-100%). Following oral administration of 0.03- or 0.04-mg/kg doses of zalcitabine every 6 hours in these children, peak plasma concentrations were 23.1-52.5 or 31.5-63 ng/mL, respectively. Following IV administration over 1 hour of 0.03- or 0.04-mg/kg doses of zalcitabine every 6 hours in these children, peak plasma concentrations were 39.9-44.1 or 79.8-165.9 ng/mL, respectively.

Pregnant rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) that were near term (146 days) received radiolabelled zalcitabine as a bolus dose of 0.6 mg/kg body weight via the radial vein. During a 3 hour sampling of both the mother and the fetus, the fetal:maternal ratio of the integrated area under the curve of plasma concentration-time was 0.32 +/- 0.02, and the fetal tissues were found to contain zalcitabine (0.05-0.8 umol/l equivalents) and zalcitabine monophosphate (0.008-0.09 nmol/g).

About 10% of the drug appears in the feces and approximately 75% is excreted unchanged in the urine, suggesting that renal integrity is important for clearance.

Zalcitabine is not reported to undergo significant hepatic metabolism; it is mainly phosphorylated intracellularly to zalcitabine triphosphate, the active substrate for HIV-reverse transcriptase. The concentration of zalcitabine triphosphate remains low for quantitative detection and measurement in the plasma following administration of therapeutic doses.
The metabolic fate of zalcitabine has not been fully evaluated in humans. Dideoxyuridine (ddU) is the principal metabolite that has been identified for zalcitabine. In both urine and feces, ddU accounts for less than 15% of an oral dose of zalcitabine. Zalcitabine is not metabolized substantially in the liver and is relatively resistant to human cytidine deaminase, a catabolic enzyme that degrades many cytidine derivatives. Because zalcitabine is relatively resistant to degradation by cytidine deaminase, the drug is stable in plasma and resistant to first-pass metabolism in the liver.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service - Drug Information 2003. Bethesda, MD: American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Inc. 2003 (Plus Supplements)., p. 722
Hepatic metabolites have not been observed. The antiviral action of zalcitabine, like that of zidovudine and didanosine, is dependent on phosphorylation and incorporation into DNA. The first step is the formation of zalcitabine monophosphate by the enzyme 2'-deoxycytidine kinase, which is followed by formation of the diphosphate and triphosphate metabolites through the action of the cytosine monophosphate kinase and nucleotide diphosphate kinase enzymes, respectively.

Zalcitabine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). Within cells, zalcitabine is converted to its active metabolite, dideoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate (ddCTP), by the sequential action of cellular enzymes. ddCTP interferes with viral RNA-directed DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) by competing for utilization of the natural substrate deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate (dCTP), as well as incorpating into viral DNA. Due to it's lack of a 3'-OH group, the formation of a 5' to 3' phosphodiester linkage that is necessary for DNA chain elongation is inhibited, thus leading to the termination of viral DNA growth.
Zalcitabine enters the cell through carrier-mediated and non-carrier-mediated mechanisms. It is first phosphorylated by deoxycytidine kinase and further by cellular kinases to its active metabolite, dideoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate. Unlike other nucleoside analogs, zalcitabine is most efficiently triphosphorylated in resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The triphosphate terminates viral DNA elongation. Zalcitabine decrease the intracellular pool of deoxycytidine triphosphate and binds somewhat to host beta and gamma DNA polymerases.
