What is the mechanism of action of Alkylating agents
Impair cell function by forming covalent bonds on important molecules in proteins, DNA and RNA. Classified by their chemical structure and mechanism of covalent bonding.
These drugs impair cell function by forming covalent bonds on important molecules in proteins DNA and RNA. They are classified by their chemical structure and mechanism of covalent bonding.
Alkylating agents
These drugs are structural analogs of naturally occurring metabolites involved in DNA and RNA synthesis.
Antimetabolites
These drugs either substitute for metabolite that is normally incorporated into DNA or RNA or compete for the catalytic site of a key enzyme.
Antimetabolites
What is the MOA of antimetabolites
They are structural analogs of naturally occurring metabolites involved in DNA and RNA synthesis. They either substitute for metabolite that is normally incorporated into DNA or RNA or compete for the catalytic site of a key enzyme.
These drugs work by Intercalating DNA at specific sequences, creating free radicals, which cause strand breakage.
Antitumor antibiotics
These drugs are products of fungus having streptomyces. They also have the MOA of topoisomerase I and II.
Anthracyclines (doxorubicin, epi_rubicin)_
Classified under antitumor antibiotics
These drugs control the 3D structure of DNA. They inhibit enzymes responsible for the uncoling of DNA during replication.
Topoisomerase inhibitors
What is responsible for the uncoling of DNA during replication?
Topoisomerase I and II
These drugs bind to tubulin and prevent the formation of the microtubule which is important during mitosis but also for cell shape, intracellular transport and axonal function.
Vinca Alkaloids
Classified under tubulin-binding drugs
Impaired formation of microbubles by vinka alkaloids will result in?
- inhibited mitosis
- Ipaired cell shape
- Impaired intracellular transport and axonal function.
This signal transduction modifier drug will bind to specific antigens on tumor cells and thereby modify cell proliferation.
Monoclonal antibodies (Rituximab, Transtuzumab)
These drugs work by inhibiting a hormone responsible for the conversion of androgens into estrogens
Aromatase inhibitors (Aminoglutethimide, anastrazole, letrozole)
What is the mechanism of action of signal trusduction modifiers
Are hormonal treatments of cancer that results in disruption of the normal growth factor receptor interactions which lead to cell proliferation and is effective in cancer cells where mutations have resulted in uncontrolled cell proliferation utilizing activated signaling pathways.

- Nausea and Vomiting
This drug can cause alopecia and mucositis and is commonly used to treat Hodgkin desease and hodgkin lymphoma
Mechlorethamine
It can also cause mylosuppression
