MAGIC RACKS
5 Antimetobolites (chemo agents)
Methotrexate, 5FU, 6-Mercatopurine, 6-Thioguanine, and Cytarabine
Methotrexate
MOA: Folic Acid analog that inhibits dihyrdrofolate reductase
Use: Leukemia, lymphoma, choriocarcinoma, sarcoma, abortions, ectopic pregancy, RA, psoriasis
ADR: myelosupression (reversible with leucovorin), macrovesicular fatty liver change, mucositis, teratogenic
