Pharm RR Flashcards
what is phosphoribosylamine
needed for synthesis of purines; mercaptopurine inhibits the enzymes needed to synthesize phosphoribosylamine
form a ternary complex with topoisomerase II and DNA
Doxorubicin + Daunorubicin
produce free radicals
Doxorubicin + Daunorubicin
Bleomycin
Binds DNA and chelates iron
Bleomycin
degraded by a specific hydrolase low in skin and lungs–
Bleomycin
highly reactive alkyl groups that forms covalent bonds between guanines
Cyclophosphamide
cross-linking between two DNA strands
Cyclophosphamide
Acrolein is a metabolite
Cyclophosphamide
mesna
conjugates acrolein
prodrug that is converted in the liver to MTIC
Dacarbazine
Interrupts DNA replication by causing methylation of guanine
Dacarbazine
methylation of guanin
Dacarbazine
potent inhibitor of DNA polymerase
Cytarabine
cytidine analog
Cytarabine
Resistance: Occurs due to increased drug inactivation or decrease formation of monophosphate.
Cytarabine
severe leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.
Cytarabine
Inhibits DNA polymerase, DNA primase, DNA ligase, and ribonucleotide reductase
Fludarabine
Purine analog; biotransformed into false purine nucleotide
Mercaptuopurine
false nucleotide also causes DNA damage upon intercalation.
Mercaptuopurine
Degraded by xanthine oxidase and thiopurine methyltransferase
Mercaptuopurine
biotransformed to polyglutamate
Methotrexate
inhibits dihydrofolate reductase
Methotrexate
Drug Interactions:aspirin or piperacillin delay drug excretion and lead to severe myelosuppression.
Methotrexate
Drug Interactions: nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents delay drug excretion and lead to severe myelosuppression.
Methotrexate
Binds to the CD20 antigen
Rituximab
chimeric (mouse-human) monoclonal antibody
Rituximab
reduction in FAS-mediated apoptosis
Imatinib
Competitively binds to the ATP binding site on the bcr-abl
Imatinib
inhibits phosphorylation of proteins involved in CML clone proliferation
Imatinib
Resistance results from mutations in the kinase domain
Imatinib
normal tissues are able to synthesize 1) for protein synthesis
1) L-asparagine
depriving malignant cells of the asparagine necessary for 1) –> leads to cell death
1) protein synthesis
suppress mitosis in the lymphocytes
Glucocorticoids
Prednisone, Dexamethasone
displaces the repressor and promotes degradation of the PML-RAR-fusion gene.
Tretinoin
Induces lipocortins
Glucocorticoids
↓PLA2→ ↓AA
Glucocorticoids
Down-regulates expression of cytokines (IL-1,
IL-4 and TNF-α which leads to immunosuppression
Glucocorticoids
