- Background
Omacetaxine mepesuccinate (formerly known as HHT or Homoharringtonine), is a cephalotaxine ester and protein synthesis inhibitor with established clinical activity as a single agent in hematological malignancies. Omacetaxine mepesuccinate is synthesized from cephalotaxine, which is an extract from the leaves of the plant, Cephalotaxus species. In October 2005, omacetaxine mepesuccinate received Orphan Drug designation from the EMEA for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Then in March 2006, it received Orphan Drug status from the FDA for the treatment of CML. In November 2006, omacetaxine mepesuccinate, for the treatment of CML, was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA. Most recently, in October 2012, omacetaxine mepesuccinate was marketed under the brand name Synribo and FDA approved for patients who are intolerant and/or resistant to two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors used to treat accelerated or chronic phase CML.

- Pharmacodynamics
The pharmacodynamics of homoharringtonine is not fully understood. It is known that homoharringtonine is involved with protein synthesis inhibition and this leads to its antineoplastic activity.
- Mechanism of action
Homoharringtonine inhibits protein synthesis by not directly binding to Bcr-Abl. It binds to the A-site cleft in the large ribosomal subunit, which affects chain elongation and prevents protein synthesis.
Target Actions Organism A50S ribosomal protein L2 antagonistHaloarcula marismortui (strain ATCC 43049 / DSM 3752 / JCM 8966 / VKM B-1809) A60S ribosomal protein L3 antagonistHumans - Absorption
Homoharringtonine absorption was not quantified, but maximum concentration is reached after about 30 mins.
- Volume of distribution
Homoharringtonine has a steady state Vd of 141 ± 93.4 L.
- Protein binding
Plasma protein binding is equal or less than 50%.
- Metabolism
Homoharringtonine has undergoes little hepatic metabolism and is mostly metabolized to 4’-DMHHT by plasma esterase hydrolysis.
- Route of elimination
The main route of elimination for homoharringtonine is still unknown, but renal elimination is less than 15%.
- Half-life
Homoharringtonine has a half life of about 6 hours after subcutaneous administration.
- Clearance
Clearance for homoharringtonine was not quantified.
