Antimitotic and Biological response modifiers - Slides 24-43 Flashcards
Our genome codes for how many protein kinases and how many protein phosphatases?
550 protein kinases
130 protein phosphatases
What are the two types of protein kinases?
Receptor tyrosine kinases (humans - 90) Insulin receptor Epidermal growth factor Platelet derived growth factor Fibroblast growth factor Vascular endothelial growth factor
Enzymatic tyrosine kinases (humans - 32)
MAP
RAS
MEEK
What are Imatinib, Dasatinib, Nilotinib?
Myeloid tyrosine kinase inhibitors
What is Imatinib used for?
CML (BCR-ABL mutation)
CMML (EVT6-PDGFR mutation)
How does Imatinib work?
Decreases myeloid TK’s responsible for cell proliferation
Binds closed BCR-ABL kinase
How is Imatinib administered?
Oral
Toxicities with Imatinib?
Nausea, vomiting, edema
How does Dasatinib work?
2nd generation
Binds both open and kinase
How does Nilotinib compare to Imatinib?
More potent
Works in Imatinib resistance!
What are Gefitinib, Erlotinib?
Epidermal growth factor Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors (ErbB1 or HER1)
How is Gefitinib administered?
Oral
How does Gefinitib work?
It blocks ATP binding/activation of the TK
What is Gefitinib used for?
Non-small cell lung cancer
EGRF mutants
Toxicities with Gefitinib?
Diarrhea Rash (50%) Nausea Vomiting Dry skin
What is Erlotinib used for?
2nd line metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
Pancreatic and head and neck cancer
Toxicities with Erlotinib?
Diarrhea
Rash
Elevated liver enzymes
What is Lapatinib?
ErbB1 (HER1), ErbB2 (HER2) tyrosine kinase inhibitor
How does Lapatinib work?
It’s taken orally, has an intracellular site of action
Increases time of tumor growth from 4.4 to 8 months when given with Capecitabine
Enters CNS and is effective in CNS metabolism
Metabolized by CYP3A4
Indications for Lapatinib?
CNS metastasis
Metastatic breast cancer no longer sensitive to Trastuzumab
Toxicities of Lapatinib?
Rash
Nausea
Fatigue
Anorexia
What is Bortezomib?
Proteosome inhibitor
MOA of Bortezomib?
Inhibits proteosome breakdown of IKB which stays bound to NF-KB to prevent moving into the nucleus
NF-KB is a potent cell survivor promoter gene
Indications for Bortezomib?
Approved for multiple myeloma
In trials for other solid tumors
Toxicities of Bortezomib?
Thrombocytopenia (28%) Fatigue Neuropathy Limb pain Hypotension CV failure
