Cancer Chemotherapy Drugs Flashcards
Casodex/eulixin/nilandron MOA (2):
- Blocks androgen-induced growth.
- Normally combined with leuprolide or other LH releasing hormone agonist.
Mercaptopurine toxicities (2):
- Cholestasis
- Oral and intestinal ulcers
Bendamustine cell cycle profile:
CCNS
Cyclophosphamide cell cycle profile:
CCNS
Pentostatin/cladribine/fludarabine use:
Hairy cell leukemia.
Busulfan cell cycle profile:
CCNS
Docetaxel MOA:
Prevents MT depolymerization by binding to and stabilizing polymerized tubulin.
Leucovorin rescue:
Drug is used to minimize the toxic effects of folate depletion in normal cells. Bypasses the metabolic block induced by MTX.
Vincristine/vinblastine/vinorelbine toxicities (3):
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Alopecia
- Nephrogenic SIADH secretion
Interferons cell cycle profile:
CCNS
Prednisone MOA (2):
- Anti-inflammatory properties and alter immune responses.
- Cause apoptosis in leukemic cells.
Procarbazine MOA:
Blocks DNA replication and transcription. Damages DNA.
Doxorubicin/daunorubicin cell cycle profile:
CCNS
CVD use:
Pheochromocytoma
Vincristine/vinblastine/vinorelbine MOA:
Bind specifically to soluble tubulin of MTs, block polymerization and arrest cellular mitosis in metaphase.
Cytarabine cell cycle profile:
S phase
Dacarbazine/temozolomide:
Methylates DNA and RNA.
Dactinomycin Toxicity (2):
- Oral and GI ulceration.
- Stomatitis
Fluorouracil 5-FU toxicities (2):
- Oral and GI ulceration.
- Stop at early signs of stomatitis and diarrhea.
Carmustine/Lomustine/Semustine/Streptozocin toxicity (3):
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Nephrotoxicity
- Streptozotocin: pancreatic
Dacarbazine/temozolomide MOA:
Blocks DNA replication and transcription. Damages DNA.
CHOP use:
Non-hodgkin’s disease
Bleomycins toxicity (3):
- Pulmonary fibrosis.
- Pneumonitis.
- Cutaneous reaction.
Docetaxel toxicity:
Peripheral neuropathy
BEP use:
Ovarian
Cytarabine toxicity:
Oral ulceration
BIP use:
Cervical
Procarbazine (4):
- Decrease DNA, RNA, protein synthesis.
- Chromatid breakage and translocation.
- Inhibits G1 –> S.
- Avoid MAO inhibitors and alcohol.
Camptothecin/topotecan/irinotecan cell cycle profile:
S-phase
CAF use:
Breast
Chlorambucil toxicity:
Hepatotoxicity
Mercaptopurine cell cycle profile:
S phase
Etoposide/Tenopside MOA:
Forms a ternary complex with DNA and topisomerase II.
Procarbazine cell cycle profile:
CCNS
Pentostatin/cladribine/fludarabine MOA:
Inhibit adenosine deaminase directly or via metabolites –> build up of adenosine and deoxyadenosine decreases DNA synthesis by inhibiting ribonucleotide reductase.
Doxorubicin/daunorubicin MOA (2):
- Blocks activity of topoisomerase II.
- Binds between base pairs of DNA –> ROS.
Denusomab MOA:
Blocks RANK-RANKL in bone.
Interferons MOA (2):
- Inhibits tumors by regulating the host immune system.
- Direct activity against cancer cells.
