Question
Answer
EX. Carboplatin, chlorambucil, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, oxaliplatin. alklyation of DNA is the crucial cytotoxic reaction. Cell cycle non-specific but most toxic to rapidly dividing cells. SE-NV (cisplatin)   Alkylating agents  
🗑
Ex. capecitabine, cytarabine, fluorouracil, gemcitabine, methotrexate. Cell cycle specific. Inhibit growth & proliferation by competing for binding sites on enzymes & incorporation into DNA or RNA.   Antimetabolites  
🗑
Ex. bleomycin, doxorubicin, epirubicin. Cell cycle non-specific. Binds to DNA causing breakage, & inhibits RNA synthesisSE-pulmonary toxicity (bleomycin), cardiac toxicity (doxorubicin)   Antitumor antibiotics  
🗑
Paclitaxel,docetaxel. G2 and M phases. Inhibits mitosis b/c of antimicrotubule effect. Plant alkyloid. SE-hypersensitivity, neurologic toxicities   Taxanes  
🗑
Irinotecan, topotecan. S phase. Topoisomerase-I inhibition, resulting in DNA breakage.Plant alkyloid   Camptothecins  
🗑
etoposide, teniposidepre-mitotic G2 & S phasesTopoisomerase-II inhibitor causing DNA breakage.Plant alkyloid. SE-hypersensitiviy   Epipodophyllotoxins  
🗑
Vinblastine, vincristine, vinorelbine. act in G2 and M phases. Antimicrotubular agent inhibits mitosis. Plant alkyloid SE- Autonomic (constipation), and peripheral neurotoxicity   Vinca alkaloids  
🗑
Tamoxifen, toremifene-Inhibit binding of the estrogen receptorMegestrol-suppresses adrenal steroid synthesis. SE-increased risk of blood clots, hot flashes   Anti-estrogens  
🗑
Anastrozole, letrozole, Fulvestrantprevents conversion of androgens to estrogens in fat tissue   aromatase inhibitors  
🗑
Trastuzumab, rituximab (ends in mab) Marks cell for attack by immune system, delivers antitumor agent, blocks cell receptors. SE-hypersensitivty/anaphylaxis, cardiac toxicity (trast), wound dehiscince (bevac), acne like rash (cetux)   Monoclonal antibodies  
🗑
Ondansetron, granisetron (end in setron) Selectively block serotonin 5-HT3 receptors in the GI tract and the CTZ. Useful for N/V side effects. SE-headache, diarrhea, constipation   Serotonin antagonists  
🗑
Prochlorperazine, Trimethobenzamide. Blockade of dopamine receptors in the CTZ (relieves N/V)-SE-sedation, hyptension, EPS   Phenothiazines  
🗑
Dexamethasone, Methlypredisolone. For N/V, decreased appetite   Corticosteroids  
🗑
Dronabinol. Used for N/V, decreased appetite.Likely due to depression of higher cortical pathways leading to emetic center.   Cannabinoids  
🗑
Lorazepam. Amnestic, anxiolytic, and sedative   Benzodiazepines  
🗑
Goserelin, Leuprolide. Hormonal negative feedback loop that results in suppression of the release of testosterone and estrogen. SE-Bone mineral density loss (Leuprolide)   GRH Agonist  
🗑
Biculatamide, Flutamide, Nilutamide. Nonsteroidal agents that competitively inhibit the binding of androgens to the androgen receptors in the prostate.   Antiandrogens  
🗑
Blocks expression of oncogene or replace missing/defective tumor suppressor gene   Gene therapy  
🗑
Interfer with proteins involved in apoptosis, causing cell death   Apoptosis-inducing drugs  
🗑
Prevents the growth of blood vessels to support tumor cells   Angiogenesis inhibitors  
🗑
Imatinib (tyrosine Kinase inhibitor)Gefitinib,Erlotinib (EGFR-TK inhibitor)Block enzymes and growth factor receptors involved in tumor cell growth   Small molecule drugs  
🗑
Chemotherapuetic agent associated with pulmonary fibrosis   bleomycin  
🗑
Chemotherapuetic agent associated with hemorrhagic cystitis   cyclophosphamide  
🗑
Chemotherapuetic agent associated with cardiomyopathy   doxorubicin  
🗑
Chemotherapuetic agent associated with renal toxicity   cisplatin  
🗑
chemotherapuetic agent associated with skin pigmentation   5-flurouracil  
🗑
Tumor with good response to chemo   leukemias/lymphomas  
🗑
Tumor with good response to chemo   Germ cell tumors  
🗑
Tumor with good response to chemo   breast cancers  
🗑
Tumor with poor response to chemo   pancreatic cancer  
🗑
Tumor with poor response to chemo   melanoma  
🗑
Tumor with poor response to chemo   soft tissue sarcomas  
🗑
Blocks HER2 receptors   Herceptin  
🗑
