Lui Lectures Flashcards
cell cycle specific drugs
antimetabolites (S), vinca alkaloids(M), antibiotics, taxanes (M)
-for replicating (ex/ hematologic)
cell cycle non specific drugs
alkylating agents, antibodies, anthracyclines, antitumor antibioitcs, platinum analogs (“platin”)
replicating and non
log kill
constant fraction of cells, first order
may need irradiation of craniospinal axis or intrathecal drugs for
tumors finding sanctuaries in tissues, such as CNS
drugs combined at full doses
different toxicities, different sites of action and mechanisms
resistance minimized by
short term, intensive, intermittent therapy with drug combos
responsible for miltidrug resistance
p glycoprotein due to atp dependent pumping of drugs out of cell
neoplasms arising from chemo common in
alkylating agents
antimetabolite action
inh DNA synthesis
antibiotics action
damage or alter DNA and RNA structure
topoisomerase inh action
inhibit topoisomerase mediated religation of DNA breaks
alkylating agents action
damage or disrupt DNA and RNA structures
microtuble inhibitorsaction
disrupt mitosis
steroid hormones and antagonists action
interfere with transcription
monoclonal antibodies action
block function of targeted protein, alter function of cnacer cells and or induce cytotoxicity
biological response modifiers action
interfere with signal transduction pathways (IFN, IL)
tyrsine kinase inhibitors action
interfere with signal transduction pathways
proteosome inhibitors action
inhibit proteosome
angiogenesis inh action
disrupt tumor vasculature
differentiating agents action
allow leukemic promyelocytes to become neutropuls (all trans retinoic acid)
antimetabolite action
inh DNA synthesis; interfere with normal purine and purimidine nucleotide precursors and inhibit their synthesis and compete. S phase
differentiating agents action
allow leukemic promyelocytes to become neutropuls (all trans retinoic acid)
methotrexate
antimetabolite, related to folic acid (antagonist), inhbits dihydrofolate reductase and decreases biosynthesis of AGT and methionine and Serine
-low dose is anti inflam and immuno suppressive
only antimetabolite that doesn’t need conversion to become active
methotrexate
pemetrexed
methotrexate analog
antibiotics
doxorubicin, daunorubicin, dactinomycin, bleomycin
anthracycline antibiotics
- doxorubicin (one of most widely used) and daunorubicin
- used in drug combos
- intercalate into DNA and block synthesis, generate oxygen radicals
- cardio tox or heart failure possible
mixture of copper chelating glycopeptides that scize DNA oxidatively, G2
bleomycin
