Chemo flash cards - SS/LC
what is the role of RAD51
associates with BRCA2
ATPase that forms a nucleoprotein filament on single-stranded DNA
RAD51 binds ssDNA leading to invasion of homologous dsDNA for homologous DNA repair
Describe the process of nucleotide excision repair (NER)
Large complex of > 24 subunits
requires:
- sig chang of Watson crick structure
- chemically change base
1. recognition of problem
2. cleavage on both sides ( dual incision 5’ and 3’ ) of the DNA lesion ~25 - 30 nucleotides
3. damaged sequence dissociate in an ATP-dependent manner and become bound to replication protein A (RPA). Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) binds DNA and gap is filled in by DNA polymerase (y or E or k)
4. ligases seal the nicks and complete NER
Formula for clearance
dose = auc x Cl
why are heterocyclic amines carcinogenic
- A chemical that is formed when meat, poultry, or fish is cooked at high temperatures, such as frying, broiling, and barbecuing
- (CYP) cytochrome P450 oxidation
- ring oxidation -> detox amino oxidation -> followed by acetylation or sulfation to form direct-acting reactive mutagens that attack key elements in DNA
topotecan generase pk
and what is it
Topotecan (Hycamtin), a semisynthetic water-soluble derivative of camptothecin, is a potent inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I in vitro and has demonstrated encouraging antitumour activity in a wide variety of tumours, including ovarian cancer and small cell lung cancer.
- given IV admin
- lactone ring -> rapid hydrolysis to carboxylate (undergo renal excretion) - non enzymatic and less active
- minor metabolite - n- desmonyl
- further metabolism into UGT mediated glucuronide product (reversible)
anthracyclines and apoptosis
- increased interaction of FAS Rw/FASL cascade activation
- anthracyclines increase cytochrome c release independent of DNA damage
- increase p53 -> p21 (G1 arrest), increase Cyclin G (G2/m arrest), increase BAX
Doxo and NfkB
key to response to cell damage and stress and DNA
increase in resistance in cells - associated with superoxide dismutase increase
Why is gemcitabine not given as a prolonged infusion?
Myelosuppression increases with length of infusion
describe BER
- glycosylases recognize abnormal base and cleave covalent bond to deoxyribose
- sugar cleavage endonuclease ape on 5’
- APlyase cleaves on 3’ - liberation of sugar
- dna polymerase base repair
- ligase
what are major proteins that localize for dsb repair
MRE, RAD50, NBS1 -> ATM
Ku70, Ku80 -> DNA pk
s phase dna check point
ATM -> NBS1 -> SMC1 -> S phase
ATM/ATR -> CHK2 CHk1 blocks CBC25A from phosphorylating cyclin A CDK2 -> stops s phase
BER action - what occurs/
cleavage og bond linking a modified base to deoxyribose sugar
endogenous DNA damage - ROS, depurination
what occurs during ner
excision of entire nucleotide including base and sugar
exogenous damage - chemicals, UV
what abnormality is most commonly cause by UV damage
pyrimidine dimers - intrastrand
60% are TT - weak mutagen
30 % are CT
10% CC - most significant mutagenic potential
what drug should vincas not be given with due to increase toxicity
erythromycin
itraconazole
other cyp3A inhibitors
MTD doxo in horse
75 mg/m2
mechanism of chemo resistance; dec affinity of a drug
- tubule - taxanes, vincas
- topo i - topotecan, Irinotecan
- topo ii - anthracyclines, Epipodophyllotoxin -etoposides
- DHFR - mitoxantron
- thymidylate synthase - 5fu
what drug can increase microtubule formation and thus dec neurotoxicity
glutamine - anecdotal
what drug does vincas increase the efficacy of
methotrexate - inc accumulation in cells due to vInca blocking drug efflux
BSA formula
10.1 x Wt(kg) ^ 2/3 / 1000 - dog
10 x wt (kg) ^ 2/3 / 1000
27 kg = 1 m2 ( same dose)
how to vinca interact with lspar
decrease hepatic clearance of vincas
vinblastine metabolism
binds to proteins extensively
so more sequestration in tissues
vincristine metabolism
bind proteins extensively
cyp450 and cyp 3A
increased clearance with phenytoin and carbamazepine due to increase cyp3A
why does vincristine target platelets
high tubular concentration
