AbstractThe extent of and factors controlling arsenic penetration into the central nervous system (CNS) remain unclear. Elemental arsenic levels in 67 paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma samples from 9 patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) on oral arsenic trioxide (As 2O 3), obtained during intrathecal chemotherapy (treatment of CNS APL, n = 6; prophylaxis, n = 3) were measured. Median arsenic levels of CSF and plasma were 95.8 nmol/L (range, 3.5-318.9 nmol/L) and 498.9 nmol/L (range, 36.3-1892.8 nmol/L). As a group, CSF and plasma arsenic was linearly correlated (P < .001), with CSF at 17.7% the plasma level. The CSF/plasma arsenic ratio, which reflected the arsenic CSF penetration efficiency, varied significantly in individual patients (P<.001). Repeated intrathecal chemotherapy and presence of blasts in CSF did not affect the CSF/plasma arsenic ratio. Plasma arsenic was the only significant determinant of CSF arsenic levels. CSF arsenic was present at therapeutically meaningful levels, implying that As 2O 3 therapy might be beneficial in CNS APL. © 2008 by The American Society of Hematology.
