Targeted Therapies (MC) - Block 4 Flashcards
What happens when TK activity is dysregulated?
Accelerate cell signalingcascades and cellular growth, induce tumors, and augment antiapoptotic processes
MOA of TKIs? Problems?
Bind to the ATP binding site of TK
Problems: selectivity for kinases
What is the difference between type 1 and 2 TK inhibitors?
Type 1: bind to active conformation of kinase
Type 2: bind to inactive conformation (more selctive)
How are TKIs metabolized? ADRs?
CYP3A4 (affected by inducers and inhibitors)
ADR: hepatotoxicity
What is the function of VEGF2 inhibitors?
Inhibits angiogenesis of tumors and keeps nutrients from supproting growth
* Decreased permeability of tumor cell vasculature easing delivery of chemo agents
What is the MOA of sunitinib?
May reduce resistance due to multi-targeting (low selectivity_
Describe the instability and ADRs associated with sunitinib?
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
HTN
What are the VEGF2 inhibitrs?
Sunitinib
Sorafenib
What are the B-RAF inhibiotrs?
- Dabrafenib
- Vemurafenib
Describe the PK of Dabrafenib?
COnverts into 2 active metabolites with loner half-lives
Describe the selectvity of vemurafenib?
V600E mutated BRAF inhibition
Describe the SAR of EGFR inhibitors
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)
What is the mechanism of EGFR?
Activated pathway -> activation of cell growth and proliferation
Inhibits cytotoxicity of anticancer agenr and radiation -> resistance
What are the types of EGFR inhibitors?
1st: Reversible -> erlotinib, gefitinib
2nd: irreversible (selective for inactive) -> afatinib
3rd: mutant selective -> osimertinib
What are the ADRs of EGFR inhibitors?
Macropapular skin rash correlated with therapeutic effects (worsens in sunlight)
What makes erlotinib heaptotoxic?
Open para position to the amine
What is the ring on gefitinib for? ADR?
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
