Q

what is the significance of 5-FU being converted into fDUMP or fUTP?

A

5-FU has a short half life in plasma, the others get into the cell and persist

Q

what is the connection between 5-FU and leucovorate?

A

leucovorate is a folate cofactor that is converted to tetrahydrofolate in cells, higher levels of tetrahydrofolate increases the efficacy of 5-FU

Q

what class is cytarabine?

A

cytosine analog

17
Q

Cytarabine gets converted to ______ intracellularly

A

Ara-CTP

18
Q

what is Ara-CTP

A

the thing cytarabine gets converted into, it is a competitive inhibitor of DNA polymerase alpha

19
Q

what converts cytarabine into non-toxic uracil arabinoside?

A

cytidine deaminase

20
Q

T or F:
Increased levels of cytidine deaminase in the CNS makes Ara-C highly toxic

A

False, decreased levels

21
Q

what class is gemcitabine

A

cytosine analog

22
Q

T or F:
Cytarabine is more potent than the other cytosine analog Gemcitabine

A

false, gem is more

23
Q

what does tetrahydrouridine inhibit?

A

cytidine deaminase (CDA)

24
Q

T or F:
Cytarabine is inactivated by cytidine deaminase

A

True

25
Q

Tetrahydrouridine is given with _____ to increase efficacy and decrease resistance

A

cytarabine

26
Q

Nucleoside analog:
A. 5-FU
B. Cytarabine

A

A. 5-FU

27
Q

6-MP is a _____ analog

A

purine

28
Q

6-MP inhibits multiple enzymes in the __________________________ pathway

A

de novo purine biosynthesis

29
Q

T or F:
6-MP blocks the synthesis of purine nucleotides

A

true

30
Q

6-MP is inactivated by what?

A

thiopurine methyl transferase (TPMT)

31
Q

what common drug has an interaction with 6-MP that is definitely on the exam

A

allopurinol

32
Q

why is there a bad drug reaction between 6-MP and allopurinol

A

xanthine oxidase breaks down 6-MP, allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor

33
Q

T or F:
allopurinol blocks the breakdown of both purine analogs, 6-MP and 6-TG

A

false, just 6-MP

34
Q

Which drug primarily interferes with purine biosynthesis?

A. 5-Fluorouracil

B. Capecitabine

C. 6-Mercaptopurine

D. Cytosine arabinoside

A

C
