Non-Specific Cell Cycle Cytotoxic Drugs: Alkylating Agents
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What are common non- specific cell cycle cytotoxic agnets? | - Anthracylcines - Platinum agents - Alkylating agents |
| What are common specific cell cycle cytotoxic agents? | - based on the cell cycle phase |
| What are some common targeted chemotherapies( recognized specific biomarkers? | - TKIs - Monoclonal Ab |
| What is the MOA of Alkylating agent? ( introduce alkyl radical ) | - cross linking DNA strands ----> inhibits protein synthesis and DNA synthesis |
| what is some possible off -target outcomes of using alkylating agent? | DNA mutation --> 2nd malignancies ( acute leukemia) |
| what is the proposed MOA of Ifosfamide and cyclophosphamide toxicity ( hemorrhagic cystitis? | - build up of the active metabolites ( acrolein) |
| What is the management approach in ifosfamide/cyclophosphamide induced hemorrhagic cystitis? | - hydration - mesna chemo-protective |
