Anti-cancer

Inhibits topoisomerase II

17
Q

Actinomycin D

Category and mechanism

A

Anti-cancer

Inhibit RNA polymerase BOTH pro/eukarytoes

18
Q

Rifampin

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Inhibit RNA polymerase–> inhibit initiation of transcription

19
Q

Alpha-Amantin (mushroom!)

Category and mechanism

A

Toxin

Inhibits RNA polymerase II–> heptatoxicity–>death

20
Q

Streptomycin

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Blocks initiation: prevents assembly of ribosomes by binding to 30S

21
Q

Tetracycline

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Blocks elongation:prevents aminoacyl-tRNA access to A site

22
Q

Erythromycin

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Blocks elongation: blocks ribosome translocation by binding to 50S

23
Q

Chloramphenicol

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Blocks elongation: prevents peptidyl transferase activity in prokaryotes

If you give too much it can stop translation in mitochondria and effect your patient monitor concentration

24
Q

Cycloheximide

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Blocks elongation: prevents peptidyl transferase activity in eukaryotes

25
Q

Puromycin

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Blocks elongation: premature termination in translation by bearing structural resemblance to aminoacyl-tRNA

26
Q

Diptheria Toxin

Category and mechanism

A

Toxin

Inactivates EF-2–>prevent translocation

27
Q

Mycophenolic Acid

Category and mechanism

A

Immunosuppressive

Inhibits conversion of IMP to GMP

Inhibits IMP dehydrogenase

28
Q

Sulfomide/sulfa drugs

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Inhibit BACTERIAL folate synthesis

29
Q

Trimethoprim

Category and mechanism

A

ABX

Inhibit BACTERIAL dihydrofolate

30
Q

Methotrexate

Category and mechanism

A

Inhibit EUKARYOTIC dihydrofolate reductase.

This in turn inhibits purine and thymidine synthesis

31
Q

Hydroxyurea

Category and mechanism

A

Anti-cancer

Inhibits ribonucleotide reductase

Conversion of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides

32
Q

Allopurinol/Febuxostat

Category and mechanism

A

Anti-gout

Inhibits xanthine oxidase

Inhibits hypo to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid

33
Q

5’ Fluorouracil

Category and mechanism

A

Anti-cancer

Inhibits thimidylate synthase that converts dUMP to dTMP.

This Rx also requires Tetrahydrofolate

34
Q

Zidovudine

Category and Mechanism

A

Anti-viral

A viral reverse transcriptase that uses host cellular kinase to initiate chain termination due to the lack of a 3’OH

35
Q

NSAIDs

Category and Mechanism

A

Anti-inflammatory

Inhibits cyclooxygenase
