Q

What type of reactions are hypersensitivity type 1-4?

A
  • type 1 = immediate (anaphylaxis, IgE antibody)

Q

What enzyme is involved in degradation of pyrimidines and without it, patient is more sensitive to 5-FU?

A

-dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase

21
Q

What is used for treatment of cyanide poisoning?

A

hydroxocobalamin

22
Q

What action in cells gives MTX differential sensitivity for cancer cells?

A

-polyglutamination (traps folate in cell and increases affinity for enzyme thymidylate synthase

23
Q

Antimetabolites: analogues of what?

-CCS or CCNS?

A
  • analogues of folate, pyrimidine, or purine

- CCS for S phase

24
Q

What drugs cause Tumor Lysis Syndrome?

-treatment

A
  • any drug that causes sudden, rapid death of millions of cells (Ex: leukemia and lymphoma drugs)
  • Allopurinol to treat (prevents hyperuricemia)
25
Q

What are the main resistance mechanisms for folic acid analogues (MTX, Pemetrexed, Pralatrexate)

A
  • change target enzyme
  • increase DHFR expression
  • decrease polyglutamination
  • decrease accumulation (decrease RFC expression)
26
Q

Can Leucovorin be given intrathecally?

A

No. that would be fatal

27
Q

What are main resistance mechanisms of pyrimidine analogues? (5-FU and Capecitabine)
-blocking which enzyme can block drug?

A
  • change target enzyme (TS)
  • decrease activation of drug (enters pathway as UMP or dUMP)
  • increase inactivation
  • blocking pyrimidine monophosphate kinase= resistance
28
Q

What are the 2 ways to make purines? How do 6-MP and 6-TG fit in?

A
  1. primary purine synthesis pathway (enzymes PRPS and GPAT)
  2. salvage pathway (enzyme HGPRT)
    - 6MP and 6TG block guanylyl kinase (when activated by HGPRT to T-IMP and 6-thioGMP- poor substrates for guanylyl kinase); IMP and GMP accumulate triggering “pseudofeedback inhibition” of PRPS, GPAT, HGPRT enzymes
29
Q

What drug can cause hemorrhagic cystitis? How to treat

A
  • Cyclophosphamide

- add Mesna

30
Q

What is the common unique side effect of Anthracycline Antibiotics?

A
  • cardiomyopathy corresponding with total amount of drug taken
  • ex: doxorubicin
31
Q

What is unique about Bleomycin’s mechanism? What major toxicity?

A
  • generates free radicals to cut DNA strands (“blasts DNA”)

- causes skin and lung damage (those tissues lack hydrolase enzyme to metabolize Bleomycin)

32
Q

What are the common resistance mechanisms for crosslinking agents?
-MOA?

A

-increased DNA repair
-increased glutathione production (trapping agent)
-oral = decreased activation
MOA: must be activated so nucleophile can attack DNA and cause damage

33
Q

What are main resistance mechanisms for intercalating agents- anthracycline antibiotics?

A
  • decreased accumulation due to P-glycoprotein (MDR)
  • decreased topo 2 activity (temporarily)
  • increased inactivation
34
Q

What drug is associated with nephrotoxicity?

A

Cisplatin

-should also be avoided with renal insufficiency)

35
Q
What drug class is associated with neurons/ RBCs
-peripheral neuropathy
A

vinca alkaloids

-ex: Vincristine

36
Q

37
Q

Which specie of malaria is the most deadly?

A

38
Q

Which 2 species of malaria cause relapses?

A

-P. vivax and P. ovale

39
Q

Basic life cycle of malaria?

A

injected as sporozoites, released from liver as merozoites
-enter RBC, trophozoite (ring form), schizont, merozoites released from RBC and either infect new RBC or become gametocytes

40
