Antifolates MOA inhibits DHFR, S phase
Methotrexate DIs NSAIDS, PPIs, Penicillins
Methotrexate Clinical pearls -high dose MTX requires leucovorin resucue + NaHCO3 to maintain urine pH > 7
Pemetrexed Clinical pearls -supplement with folic acid 400 mcg PO daily and vitamin B 12 1000 mcg IM every 9 weeks to prevent myelosuppression -premedicate with dexamethasone 4 mg PO BID the day before, day of and day after treatment fo avoid rash
Leucovorin Indications -folate rescue with high dose methotrexate -stabilizes FdUMP binding when used with 5-Fluorouracil
5-Fluorouracil MOA: continuous infusion FdUMP binds to/inactivates thymidylate synthase
5-Fluorouracil MOA: Bolus Incorporates into DNA /RNA as a flase nucleotides and interferes with function
5-Fluorouracil Drug interactions Strong CYP2C9 inhibitor- increased warfarin effect
Cytarabine MOA inhibits DNA polymerase (inhibits DNA elongation)
Cytarabine Adverse Effects High-dose = cellbeullar toxicity, conjunctivitis
Cytarabine Clinical pearls -corticosteroids may help with flu-like symptoms -steroids eye drops should be administered during high-dose administration to avoid conjunctivitis
Gemcitabine MOA inhibits DNA polymerase (inhibits DNA elongation), Inhibits DNA synthesis/repair
Gemcitabine Clinical pearls -rash may respond to topical steroids, fevers may respond to acetaminophen
Purines MOA incorporates into DNA as a false purine and stops DNA synthesis
6-MP drug interactions allopurinol increases toxicity, 6-MP reduces anticoagulant effects of warfarin
