Q

Describe the instability and ADRs associated with sunitinib?

A

Conjugated -> yellow can be transferred to skin and bodily fluid

Keep away from light
* Z isomer is more potent than E
* Light convert Z to E -> in the dark it will return to Z

Q

Describe the SAR of EGFR inhibitors

A

Pharmacophore: quinaoline ring (Nitrogens are essential for activity)
EWG (Cl): meta position for good selectivity
Larger para sub (F): bind to inactive confomration (Type 2) and HER2 (lipophillic pocket)

Q

What is the ring on gefitinib for? ADR?

A

For water solubility

ADR:
* Hepatotoxicity: reactive metabolite can also be formed in lungs (CYP1A1) -> smokers generate more of metabolite
* Metabolite can also cause ftal interstitial lung disease

Q

What group is required for HER2 inhibition activity?

A

Large para group[

19
Q

Describe the structural properties of lapatanib?

A

Sulfur is for water solubility
Ether are metabolized to OH (prodrug) -> can cause hepatotox from OH in para to amine -> given at much higher doses

20
Q

What is unique about afatinib?

A

Amine: water solubility
Michale acceptor: irreversible inhibitor (formation of covalent bonds) of Type 2 and HER2 (large para group)

21
Q

Activity of osimertinib?

A

Contains a Micheal acceptor -> irreversible inhibitor
* Cardiotox (QT prolongation and cardiomyopathy)

22
Q

What makes ibrutinib (BTK inhibitor) an irreversible inhibitor?

A

Michael acceptor

23
Q

What is the indication for Bcr-Abl Inhibitors

A

CML involving Philadelphia chromosomal trnaslocation (Bcr-Abl fusion: the causitive agent for CML)

24
Q

Describe the structure of imatinib?

A

Benzanine group: Not selective because of inhibition of PDGFR kinase -> fluid retenton
Piperazizne ring: wter solubility
Puridine ring: Bcr-Abl selectivity

25
Q

Mechanism of resistance towards imatinib

A

T315I mutation: gatekeeper to hydrophobic binding pocket and Ile is large blocking access to receptor

26
Q

Describe the structure of nilotinib?

A

Benzanine group: Not selective because of inhibition of PDGFR kinase -> fluid retenton
Imidazole: wter solubility
Puridine ring: Bcr-Abl selectivity
Tri-fluoro methyl: Increase potency

27
Q

PK of nilotinib compared to imatinib?

A
  • Lower F but can increase with high fat meals (increases toxicity)
  • Less resistance due to imidazole ring (lower PKa) -> not a substrate for organic cation tansporter 1 protein (OCT1P1) -> gets imatinib into cells but contributes to resistance
28
Q

ADRs of nilotinib?

A

QT interval prolongation and myelosuppression

29
Q

Structure that contributes to water solubility

A
30
Q

ADR of dasatanib? Why

A

Hepatotoxicity from open para amine

31
Q

What cause hepatotoxicity of bosutinib?

A

Cl gets removed and exchanged for OH

32
Q

How does panatinib overcome T315I resistance?

A

Acetylene is rigid and linear fitting into binding pocket of mutation

Trifluoro methyl increases potency

33
Q

ADR of ponatinib?

A

Blood clots, hepatotoxcitiy

34
Q
