Test2, Replication and Transcription Flashcards
Memorize the drugs pertinent to inhibition of replication, transcription, and translational (gene expression) processes
What is Psoralen?
Upon activation by UV radiation, intercalates across strands of DNA,(2, 2+2 cycloadditions) linking thymines in 5’TpA sequences. Effect: Arrests DNA replication
What is Rifampin
Semisynthetic drug derived from a compound isolated from A. rifamycinica. Primarily used in treatment of tuberculosis. Effect: Block prokaryotic transcription after 2-3 ribonucleotides. Binds near bacterial RNAP active site.
Adderall
Amphetamine mixture (D/L amphetamine). Adrenergic Receptor Agonist (Stimulant, GPCR agonist)
Benadryl, Zyrtec, Claritin
Histamine (H1) Receptor Antagonists (Allergy Relief) (3)
Tagamet, Zantac, Pepsid
Histamine (H2) Receptor Antagonists (Stomach acid relief) (3)
Hydrocortisone, cortisone, prednisone, dexamethasone, betamethasone
Glucocorticoids, steroids (anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressants) (5)
Iressa, Tarceva, Tykerb
EGFR inhibitors; Lung and breast cancer (3)
Jakafi, Xeljanz
JAK inhibitors; Myelofibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis (2)
