Cancer
Hormonal therapy
-
Tamoxifen
-
-
Serious adverse effect: cardiovascular complication, increased risk of endometrial (uterine)
-
-
-
-
-
-
Alkylating Drugs
Nitrogen mustards
Cyclophosphamide
side effect: n, v. bone marrow, depression, hemorrhagic cystitis
-
-
MOA: Cross linkage, abnormal base pairing, DNA strand breakdown
-
Natural Products
Others
Etoposide
-
MOA: Inhibition of topoisomerase II, cause irreversible double strand DNA breaks
side effects: N,V, Myelosuppression, alopecia
Vinca alkaloids
Vinscritine
-
MOA Inhibition of tubulin polymerization(depolymerize tubulin), disrupt formation of mitotic spindle
-
Taxanes
Paclitaxel
-
MOA: stabilization of tubulin polymerization, freezing the mitotic spindles
relatively toxic, hypersensitivity
Campothecins
Irinotecan/ topotecan
inhibition topoisomerase I, they have relatively few toxic effects
Antimetabolites
Pyrimidine pathway
-
Cytarabine
MOA: Cytarabine is metabolized intracellularly into its active triphosphate form (cytosine arabinoside triphosphate). This metabolite then damages DNA by multiple mechanism, including the inhibition DNA polymerase and incorporation into DNA
-
-
-
Uses: acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, lymphocytic leukemia
-
-
Folate antagonist
Methotrexate
MOA: competitive inhbition of dihydrofolate, no synthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid, block de novo purine synthesis
Side effect : Bone marrow depression, damage to the epithelium of the GI tract
-
Antitumor Antibiotics
-mycin
Other
-
Bleomycin
-
-
oxidation of iron and generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, cut phosphodiester DNA bonds
pulmonary fibrosis, allergic reactions, mucocutaneous reactions, hyperpyrexia
Dactinomycin
MOA: intercalates in DNA, interfering with RNA polymerase and inhibiting transcription. It also interferes with the action of topoisomerase II. Unwanted effects include nausea, vomiting and myelosuppression
Anthracycline
Doxorubicin
-
forms complexes with DNA by intercalation between base pairs, inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis; inhibits topoisomerase II activity
Uses: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia, breast carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma
