Alkylating Agents
Direct crosslinking of base pairs: Cisplatin, Cyclophosphamide, Ifsofamide, Carboplatin, Oxaliplatin
Cisplatin
Atypical alkylator : Platinum : Nausia & Vomiting, Nephrotoxic
Cyclophosphamide
Typical alkylator : Myelosupression, Hemorragic cystitis less serious than Ifsoamide (treat with Mesna)
Ifsofamide
Typical alkylator : Myelosupression, Hemorragic cystitis (treat with Mesna)
Carboplatin
Atypical alkylator : Platinum : Thrombocytopenia
Oxaliplatin
Atypical alkylator : Platinum : Cold sensitivity
Antimetabolites
Cellular compound mimicry inhibits DNA replication and repair. S phase specific : Methotrexate, Fluorouracil, Capecitabine, Cytarabine, Mercaptopurine
Methotrexate
Antimetabolite : Folate antagonist : Myelosupression : >100mg/m2 is a high dose : Cells “rescued” at 24 hours : Inhibition of DHFR
Fluorouracil
Antimetabolite : Pyrimidine analogue : Dose limiting toxicity with myelosupression and GI distress : Used with leucovorin
Capecitabine
Antimetabolite : Pyrimidine analogue : Hand-foot syndrome : Fluorouracil prodrug
Mercaptopurine
Antimetabolite : Purine antagonist
Cytarabine
Antimetabolite : Pyrimidine antagonist : CEREBELLAR TOXICITY, Conjunctivitis
Nitrosoureas
Atypical alkylator related to mustard gas
Microtubule Agents
Microtubule destruction (duh) in the M phase : Vincristine, vinblastine, Vinorelbine, Paclitaxel, Docetaxel : DO NOT GIVE INTRATHECALLY
Vinblastine
Microtubule agent : cumulative neurotoxicities, high myelosupression
Vincristine
Microtubule agent : cumulative neurotoxicities, moderate myelosupression : max 2mg dose
Paclitaxel
Microtubule agent : Myelosupression, peripheral neuropathies, hypersensitivity rxn to diluent
Docetaxel
Microtubule agent : Myelosupression, peripheral neuropathies, hypersensitivity rxn to diluent
Topoisomerase I Agents
Inhibit the enzyme responsible for relaxing supercoiled DNA : Topotecan, Irinotecan
Topoisomerase II Agents
Inhibit the enzyme responsible for recoiling DNA after transcription
Topotecan
Topoisomerase I Agents : Myelosupression
Irinotecan
Topoisomerase I Agent : Myelosupression, Diarrhea (i ran to the can) treat with atropine (early) or loperamide (late)
Etoposide
Topoisomerase II Agent : can cause hypertension
Teniposide
Topoisomerase II Agent : Myelosupression, mucositis
Anthracyclines
