Description

Gemcitabine is a 2’-deoxycytidine analog antimetabolite that inhibits ribonucleotide reductase and DNA synthesis. Gemcitabine exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic and antiviral activities. In pancreatic cancer cells, gemcitabine induces cell death via mitochondrial complexation of MST1 and cyclophilin D. Additionally, this compound is active against strains of HIV-1 and feline leukemia virus (FeLV/FeLuk).

Reconstituted gemcitabine as the hydrochloride salt in the original vials is chemically stable at room temperature for 35 days but may develop crystals when stored at 4 degrees C. The crystals do not redissolve upon warming. Gemcitabine prepared as intravenous admixtures of 0.1 and 10 mg/mL as the hydrochloride salt in 5% dextrose injection and 0.9% sodium chloride injection in PVC bags and as a solution of 38 mg/mL in 0.9% sodium chloride injection packaged in plastic syringes is physically and chemically stable for at least 35 days at 4 degrees C and 23 degrees C. Gemcitabine as the hydrochloride salt is stable for at least 7 days at concentrations of 0.1, 10, and 38 mg/mL in 5% dextrose injection and 0.9% sodium chloride injection stored at 32 degrees C during simulated ambulatory infusion.
