Alkylating agents
cyclophosphamide
carmustine
procarbazine
cisplatin
carboplatin
oxaliplatin
which alkylating agents are platinum complexes
cisplatin
carboplatin
oxaliplatin

nephrotox
Bis(chloroethyl)amine
Must be converted by P450.
Cyclophosphamide
Nitrosurea
non-resistant
(w/ other alk’s)
Lipid soluble
Crosses BBB
Carmustine
Methylhyrdazine derivative
Inhibits synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein
Asoprocarbazine & H2O2 generated
Procarbazine
Inorganic platinum complex. Cross-links DNA (N7 guanine)

Nephrotoxicity –
use IV hydration & diuretics!!
ototox
Cisplatin
2nd gen platinum
Carboplatin

less renal tox
3rd gen platinum
Oxaliplatin

use when resistant
Antimetabolites: Folic acid antagonist
Methotrexate
Methotrexate
drug resistance?
↓transport
↓Polyglutamate formation
↑DHFR synthesis
↓Affinity of DHFR for MTX
Antimetabolites: Purine antagonists
6-MP
Cladribine
Metabolized by HGPRT
 6-thioinosinic acid
 inh. purine pathway enzymes
well tolerated!! Hyperuricemia assoiciated with tumor cell lysis – give allopurinol
Mercaptopurine
(6-MP)
Mercaptopurine
(6-MP)
resistance
↓ HGPRT activity
Resistant to adenosine deaminase, thus reaches high intracellular concentrations
 DNA strand breaks
Cladribine
Antimetabolites: Pyrimidine antagonists
5FU
Capecitabine
Cytarabine (Ara C)
1. Inhibits thymidylate synthesis  inhibits DNA synthesis
2. Incorporated into RNA  interferes with RNA processing
3. Incorporated into DNA  inhibits DNA synthesis
5FU
5FU
Colorectal cancer!
Fluoropyrimidine carbamate prodrug
Converted to 5-FU in tumor cells by thymidine phosphorylase
Capecitabine
Capecitabine
Metastatic breast cancer!
Extensive liver metabolism
 Ara CTP
S-phase-specific
Inhibits DNA polymerase  prevents chain elongation
Cytarabine aka cytosine arabinoside of ara-C
Cytarabine aka cytosine arabinoside of ara-C
Highly schedule dependent.
AML.
plant alkaloids that stop ASSEMBLY of microtubules
Vinblastine
Vincristine
Hodgkins
non-hodgkins
breast cancer
Vinblastine
ALL
Hodgkins
Non-hodgkins
Pediatric tumors – ewing’s sarcoma and wilms’ tumor

peripheral neurotoxicity

usually well-tolerated
ALL
Hodgkins
Non-hodgkins
Pediatric tumors – ewing’s sarcoma and wilms’ tumor
Binds microtubules and enhances tubulin proliferation.
Blocks DISASSEMBLY of MTs – so you have a ton of MTs and nothing to do with them!
plant alkaloid
yew tree
Paclitaxel
Inhibits topoisomerase II causing DNA strand breakage,
late S-G2 phase
plant alkaloid
Etoposide

Germ cell cancers
Lung cancer
Hematologic malignancy
Germ cell cancer
Gastric cancer
Inhibits topoisomerase I
plant alkaloid
Topotecan

Advanced ovarian cancer when platinum based agents fail.
Renal excretion.
Antibiotics
Doxorubicin
Daunorubicin
Dactinomycin
Mitomycin
Bleomycin
