Q

Melphelan

A

DNA alkylation inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis.

Treats: multiple myeloma, ovarian cancer, AL amyloidosis, and occasionally malignant melanoma.

Side effects:

17
Q

Thalidomide

A

MOA: Inhibits NF-kB and thus inhibits TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12. Activates more TH2 response over TH1. Also suppresses VEG-F

Adverse effects: immune suppression, sedation. Phocomelia (terrible birth defects).

Positive side effects of anti-nausea and anti-anorexia which are useful for chemotherapy pts.

18
Q

Vincristine

A

Cell Cycle Specific -Metaphase MT inhibitor, Vincristine binds to tubulin dimers, inhibiting assembly of microtubule structures and arresting mitosis in metaphase.

IV treatment.

Non-cytotoxic

19
Q

Doxorubicin

A

CCNS. Intercalating agent

Inhibits Topo II and causes DNA breaks.

IV treatment.

20
Q

Ara-C

A

Pyrimidine imitator, cytosine analog, inhibits DNA polymerase.

S phase-specific.

IV treatment

21
Q

Lenalidomide

A

Thalidomide analog

Exhibits direct antitumor effects by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in certain myeloma cell lines. Interferes with growth signaling between myeloma cells and bone marrow stromal cells by modulating expression of cell surface adhesion molecules. Oral treatment. Discontinued in 2009 after pulmonary embolism.

2-4% risk of P.E. on lenalidomide

22
Q

Cyclophosphamide

A

Alkylating agent.

Non-cell cycle specific.

IV treatment

23
Q

6-mercaptopurine

A

Blocks purine synthesis. “Pseudofeedback inhibition” of PNP and PRPP.

DNA synthesis inhibitor.

Oral treatment

***Methotrexate and 6-MP are highly synergistic, possibly because methotrexate blocks the de novo synthesis of purines and enhances the use of preformed purines and purine analogues such as 6-MP.

24
Q

Methotrexate

A

Dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, limits purine synthesis→ limits DNA synthesis, s phase specific.

Oral treatment.

***Methotrexate and 6-MP are highly synergistic, possibly because methotrexate blocks the de novo synthesis of purines and enhances the use of preformed purines and purine analogues such as 6-MP.

25
Q

Erythropoeitin, Darbepoetin, Methoxy polyethylene glycol epoetin

A

MOA: Stimulates RBC production.

Hormone normally produced in kidney that works via Jak/Stat pathway when body senses low oxygen levels.

Inverse relationship between EPO and hemotocrit except during chronic liver failure.

EPO - short half life –> must be given 3-4x per week
Darbepoetin –> once per week
Methoxy polyethylene glycol epoetin - biweekly or monthly.

Therapeutic uses:

  • Anemia of chronic disease (+/- iron/folate)
  • high risk surgery

Don’t give to athletes!
Increased death when used in cancer patients

Side effects: Life threatening = thrombus
Common serious = hypertension
Rare serious = increased tumor growth, allergic rxns

26
Q

A

G-CSF analog –> increase neutrophils

Therapeutic uses: Cancer therapy, certain immunodeficiencies

A

GM-CSF analog –> increase all myeloid cells

Therapeutic uses: Cancer therapy, certain immunodeficiencies

Side effects:
Common serious = capillary leak syndrome, edema
Common innocuous = mod/severe bone pain, fever, malaise, arthrlagia, myalgia
Rare serious = allergic rxns

28
Q

IL-11 and Romiplostim

A

Megakaryocyte growth factors that increase platelet production.

Pharmacokinetics: every 3-4 days

Therapeutic uses: Cancer chemo adjunct, thrombocytopenia

29
Q

Dimercaprol (British Anti-Leweisite; BAL)

A

Uses: Acute arsenic poisoning, Acute mercury poisoning, lead poisoning (EDTA)

Binds most bivalent cations (monitor for hypocalcemia)

Side effect: Nephrotoxicity (give bicarb with drug to keep dimercaprol unprotonated)

30
Q

Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA)

A

Lead poisoning, arsenic poisoning, and mercury poisoning.

31
Q

Dimercapto-propane sulfonate (DMPS)

A

Severe acute arsenic poisoning and severe acute arsenic poisoning.

32
Q

Penicillamine

A

Mainly copper toxicity.

33
Q

Ethylenediamine (EDTA)

A

lead poisoning (w/ Dimercaprol)

34
Q

Defroxamine and Deferasirox

A

Acute iron poisoning and iron overload.

35
Q

Rhogam

A

Anti-D antibody. The medicine is a solution of IgG anti-D (anti-RhD) antibodies that take out any fetal RhD-positive erythrocytes which have entered the maternal blood stream from fetal circulation, before maternal immune system can react to them, thus preventing maternal sensitization

Administered at 28 weeks and within 72 hours of delivery to Rh- mothers to prevent erythroblastosis fetalis.

Only first pregnancy.

Must quantify amt of fetomaternal hemorrhage to dose; use kleihauer-Betke test or flow cytometry.

Contraindicated if:
Mother is Rh+
Infant is known to be Rh-
Rh- but have been previously alloimmunized

36
Q

Kleihauer-Betke Test

A
  1. ) Make a smear of mom’s blood
  2. ) Expose smear to acid bath (removes HbA)
  3. ) Stain smear
  4. ) Baby’s cells appear pink; mom’s appear ghostly
37
Q

Flow cytometry test for fetal cells

A
  1. ) Use mom’s blood
  2. ) apply anti-Hbf antibody
  3. ) run flow
  4. ) baby cells, if present, are intensely positive
