Product Description

TAS-102 (a mixture of Trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride in a 1:0.5 molar ratio) is a combination drug under investigation for treating metastatic colorectal cancer. It is an oral bioavailable combination medication containing a powerful thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor called tiracil hydrochloride (TTP) and antineoplastic thymidine-based nucleoside analog called trifluridine (TFT) in a molar ratio of 1: 0.5.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Trifluridine (FTD), a thymidine-based nucleoside analog, and tipiracil hydrochloride (TPI), an oral combination medication that increases the bioavailability of FTD by preventing thymidine phosphorylase (TP) from catabolizing it, make up TAS-102[1].
Trifluridine that has been phosphorylated is incorporated into DNA, causing DNA dysfunction and cell cycle arrest. Angiogenesis is inhibited and FTD degradation is inhibited by thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor. As a result, massive trifluridine incorporation into DNA and the activation of related DNA damage response pathways—which include cycle arrest during the G2/M-phase and Chk1 phosphorylation—are the outcomes of TAS-102 treatment[2].
ln Vivo
Due to the fast breakdown of FTD into its main metabolite, 5-trifluoromethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione, the elimination half-life of FTD in humans following intravenous administration is extremely short (18 minutes). After oral administration alone, the plasma FTD level in monkeys is remarkably low, indicating extensive first-pass metabolism by the intestine and liver TPase. Oral administration is found to be made possible by the addition of TPI (tipiracil hydrochloride). By blocking TP, TPI increases the bioavailability of FTD by preventing its breakdown in the intestines and liver after oral administration. TP is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorolysis of FTD and other pyrimidine 2'-deoxynucleosides. The greatest antitumor activity is attained with a 1:0.5 molar ratio, according to studies conducted on human CRC tumor xenografts in mice. Similarly, studies conducted on mice and monkeys demonstrate that the maximum plasma concentration of FTD is nearly attained with the same ratio. Additionally, a good balance between toxicity and antitumor activity is produced by this ratio. When TPI is administered in addition to FTD, mice exhibit less toxicity. Because the primary mechanism of TAS-102 is unrelated to the primary metabolic enzymes of 5-FU, such as TS and OPRT, it can overcome acquired resistance to 5-FU. TAS-102 has proven effective in cancers that are resistant to 5-FU[1].
