Premidterm Drugs Flashcards
Didanosine (ddl)
Dideoxy A nucleoside
Host kinases
HIV rt inhibitor
Not used alone
Azidothymidine (AZT)
Aka Zidovudine
Deoxythymidine ( nucleoside) analog
Host kinases
Rt inhibitor (HIV)
Acyclovir
Deoxyguanosine nucleoside analog
1st Pi from herpes thymidine kinase
Others from host kinases
Viral DNA pol inhibitor (30x affinity for viral pol)
Tenoflir
dAMP analog (nucleotide)
HIV rt inhibitor
Host kinases
Cytarabine
Cytosine arabinoside (araC)
Cytosine ribonucleoside analog
Human DNA pol inhibitor (sterics)
Anti cancer (acute myeloid leukemia and other leukemias and lymphomas)
Vidarabine
Adenosine arabinoside
Adenosine ribonucleoside analog
DNA pol inhibitor (sterics)
Anti cancer and herpes simplex
Decitabine
5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine (nucleoside)
When incorporated into DNA causes hypomethylation (inhibits DNA methylates)
Anti cancer (acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome) Turn on P15 tumor suppressor
5-azacytidine
Ribonucleoside
(inhibits DNA methylase)
Anti cancer
Can be metabolized and incorporated into DNA causes hypomethylation
More likely to get into and fuck up rRNA and tRNA
Turn on P15 tumor suppressor
Ciprofloxain
DNA Gyrase inhibitor (prokaryotic topo II)
Antibiotic of Quinolone family
UTIs, respiratory infection, anthrax
Actinomycin D
Intercalates between adjacent GC pairs and stabilizes double helix and thus inhibits DNA replication and transcription
Camptothecin
Eukaryotic topoisomerase I inhibitor.
Anti-cancer
DNA breaks
Epotoside
Eukaryotic Topoisomerase II inhibitor
Anti cancer
Affects actively dividing cells
Rifamycin/Rifampin
Binds prokaryote RNA Polymerase and prevents formation of first phosphodiester bond (inhibits initiation)
Tuberculosis
No effect on eukaryotes
Alpha-amanitin
From death cap mushroom
Binds and inhibits RNA Pol II
GI symptoms followed by kidney and liver failure
Streptomycin
Binds 30S and prevents assembly of 70S ribosome.
Aminoglycoside
Antibiotic
Tetracycline
Blocks aminoacyl-tRNA from entering A site of ribosome.
Binds 30S of complete ribosome.
Doxycycline
Related to tetracycline. Blocks A site. Binds 30S of complete ribosome.
Doxorubicin
Related to tetracycline. Blocks A site. Binds 30S of complete ribosome.
Erythromycin
Binds 50S subunit of complete ribosome.
Prevents translocation. Prevents initiation and translocation.
Macrolide
Chloramphenicol
Inhibits prokaryotic peptidyl transferase activity (elongation). Not widely used in developed word. May inhibit mitochondrial ribosomes.
Cyclohexamide
Inhibits peptidyl transferase activity (elongation). Similar mechanism to chloramphenicol. Toxic to eukaryotes. Used in labs.
