Abstract
The paper presents data on the use of human biomonitoring methodology to assess the effects of medicines on the body of pharmaceutical and healthcare workers in various countries. The authors have conducted a search and analysis of relevant scientific literature in the scientometric databases Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, RSCI, Cyberleninka, regulatory documents in the ConsultantPlus legal reference system and foreign registers of relevant departments.
Data are presented on the contamination of surfaces in production workshops, pharmacy premises, wards, procedure rooms, pharmaceutical isolators, and compounding units in healthcare facilities with antitumor drugs: cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, megestrol, bicamitacide, capecitabine, and etoposide in concentrations exceeding the maximum permissible concentration (MPC). Several studies demonstrated contamination with antibiotics such as piperacillin, amoxicillin, meropenem, benzylpenicillin, and vancomycin on surfaces and in the ambient air of procedure rooms and wards in various departments.
An analysis of the literature revealed that when conducting biomonitoring studies in medical workers of cancer hospitals, cyclophosphamide was detected in urine at the level of 0.05–0.99 mcg/l, ifosfamide at a concentration of 0.10–0.44 mcg/l, methotrexate 0.10–3.17 mcg/l, 5-fluorouracil 1.0–24.5 mcg/l. Qualitative analysis of blood plasma from medical personnel in more than 30% of samples identified various antitumor agents at the level of 0.1–1 ng/ml, including platinum‒containing (irinotecan) in the range of 92 pg/ml – 266 pg/ml and platinum in hair at the level of 3.24 (2.35–4.74)×10–³ ng. A number of studies have shown the results of quantitative determination of narcotic and non-narcotic analgesics in the biological environment of pharmaceutical workers.
The presented data indicates the relevance of the introduction of biological control of the production environment with the establishment of biomarkers of exposure to priority drugs with toxic properties.
At this stage of the introduction of human biomonitoring in Russia, there are limitations associated with the imperfection and incompleteness of the regulatory framework, as well as the lack of systematic approaches in the selection of biological substrates, analytical methods for the determination of drugs in the biological environment of workers, and therefore the comparison of research results is difficult.
