1
Q

5-FU

A

anti pyramiding drug that is used for solid tumors
gets converted by thymidylate phosphorylase in tumors
inhibits thymidylate synthase

Q

Capecitabine

A

oral form of 5-FU
gets converted into 5-fu by liver carboxyesterase 1a1 and cytidine deaminase
tymadine phospholase is the final conversion to 5-fu which happens in tumor

toxicity = hand foot syndrome

Q

cytarabine (ara-c)

A

enter tumor cells via hENT1 transporter
get phosphorated 3 times get incorporated into DNA and cause chain termination

used for acute leukemia

gets deactivated by Cytocine deaminase and pyrimidine nucleotidase

important because the rate Are-c gets converted to its toxic product hex go bd high than the rate it gets converted to inactive metabolite by cytosine deaminase and pyrimidine nucleotidase!!!!

toxicity is myelosupression

S phase drug

Q

Methotrexate

A
  • S phase drug
  • Folate antimetabolite
  • competitively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase
  • prego catagory d
  • Used for ped. leukemias, NHL, choriocarcinoma, Primary CNS lymphoma

-enters cell via RFC (reduced folate carrier)

want to alkalize the urine because it can cause crystallura tubular obstruction.

  • MTX-glutamate accumulates and inhibits DHFR
  • Glutamate THF accumulates and inhibits thymidylate synthase

Toxicity

  • bone marrow suppression -> leukovorin rescue
  • renal toxicity “7-OH-MTX” doing damage

Q

6-mercaptopurine

A

S phase drug

  • used in maintenance and remission of ALL
  • toxicity of myleosupression

6-MP gets converted to thiopurine methyl transferase then to active metabolites like TIMP

xanthine oxidase (80% metabolized by) and thiopurine methyltransferase form inactive metabolite.
