drugs Flashcards
5-FU
anti pyramiding drug that is used for solid tumors
gets converted by thymidylate phosphorylase in tumors
inhibits thymidylate synthase
damages DNA
Damages RNA
toxicities= cerebellar ataxia, neurologic symptoms, hair loss
S phase drug
Capecitabine
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
S phase drug
cytarabine (ara-c)
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
Gemciatibe
enter tumor cells via hENT1 transporter
get phosphorated 3 times get incorporated into DNA and cause chain termination
used for pancreatic treatment and non small cell lung cancer
toxicity is myelosupression
S phase drug
Methotrexate
- 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
Pemetrexed
-S phase drug
1000X less potent of DHFR blocker
-Can be used in MTX resistant cancer
-Used for malignant pleural mesothelioma
-Competetive inhibitor of thymalate synthase and GAR transformylase
6-mercaptopurine
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.
6- thioguanine
S phase drug
- acute Non lymphocytic leukemia
- toxicity of myelosupression
anti purine drug
fludarabine
S phase drug
- CLL
- Tox: given IV to prevent bacteria from produciting fluoroadenine, myleosupression, and opportunistic infection.
adenosine analog that gets triphosphate and incorporated and stops replication
Cladribine
S phase drug
- Hairy cell leukemia
- tox: myelosupression and drug fever
adenosine analog that gets triphosphate and incorporated and stops replication
Vinblastine
M phase drug
blocks microtubual assembly
testicular cancer, lymphomas, neuroblastoma
Vincristine
M phase drug
blocks microtubual assembly
Pediatri ALL, Lymphoma, neuroblastoma, Willms tumors, ewings sarcome
Neurotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy.
Venorelbine
M phase drug
blocks microtubual assembly
Advanced non-small cell cancer
Taxol (paclitaxel)
M phase drug
Stabilize microtubules
Advanced breast and ovarian
side effect is Sever HTN during infusion and required corticosteroid pretreatment
Taxotere (docetaxel)
M phase drug
Stabilize microtubules
advanced breast and ovarian recurrence
etoposide
topoisomerase II inhibitor -> DS DNA break
causes leukopenia secondary cancer
Mixed phase drug
oat cell carcinoma and testicular cancer
Trnioside
topoisomerase II inhibitor -> DS DNA break
causes leukopenia
Mixed phase drug
glioma and neuroblastoma
topotecan
Topoisomerase I blocker
Single stranded DNA breaks
S phase drugs
causes neutropenia and mucositis
second line drug
Irinotecan
Topoisomerase I blocker
Single stranded DNA breaks
S phase drugs
causes Severe diarrhea.
metastatic colorectal cancer.
bleomycin
causes DNA strand breaks because of Fe radical production -> superoxide radical production.
testicular cancer
causes pulmonary fibrosis
daztinomycin
