Study These Flashcards
A

leucovorin (folinic acid)

25
5-fluorouracil/capecitibine
pyrimidine analog antimetabolite. inhibits thymidine synthase activation
26
use of 5Fu
breast, ovarian, head and neck cancers, topical for basal cell and karposi sarcoma and keritoses. colorectal cancer.
27
6 mercaptopurine
purine antimetabolite. bioactivated by HGPR transferase.
28
use for 6 mercaptopurine
acute lymphocytic leukemia, immunosuppression.
29
SE of 6mP
BMS.
30
what is the most important interaction with 6 MP to be aware of?
allopurinol will increase the amount of 6MP because it inhibits XO the enzyme responsible for its metabolism.
31
bleomycin
complexes with iron and O2 to cause DNA strand scission in the G2 phase.
32
uses of bleomycin
hodgkins, testicular, head, neck, skin cancer
33
SE of bleomycin
pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonitis.
34
vinblastine/vincristine
decrease the polymerization of microtubules. they are spindle poisons. M phase.
35
uses of vinblastine
hodgkins, testicular, karposi.
36
what are the uses of vincristine
hodgkins, leukemia, wilms.
37
SE of vinblastine
BMS
38
SE of vincristine
neurotoxicity, peripheral neuropathy.
39
all trans retinoic acid
differentiating med. promotes the differentiation of promyelocytes.
40
use for ATRA
AML
41
SE of ATRA
differentiation syndrome with respiratory distress. pleural and pericardial effusions. CNS symptoms.
42
what drugs cause renal toxcity
cisplatin and methotrexate
43
what drugs cause pulmonary toxicity
bleomycin, procarbizine. busulfan
44
what drugs causes cardiac toxicity
doxirubicin and dauorubicin
45
what drugs cause neurologic tox
vincristine and cisplatin
46
what drugs are immunosuppressive
cyclophos and methotrexate
47
what is the unique toxicity for cyclophosphamide and the antidote
hemorrhagic cystitis and mENSA
48
what is the unique SE for procarbazine
leukemia
49
what does aspariginase causes
pancreatitis
50
what is the DOC for organ or tissue transplant
cyclosporine
51
what is the back up drug for liver/renal transplant
tacrolimus
52
what do we use in combination for cyclosporin to limit its toxicity
mycophenolate
53
SE of cyclosporin and tacrolimus and what do we use to combat
nephrotoxic. we use mannitol to combat
54
what is another SE for cyclosporin
gingival hyperplasia and peripheral neuropathy
55
azothiaprine
immunosuppressant converted to 6MP. used for kidney transplant and autoimmunity. w
56
what do we watch out for when using azothioprine
allopurinol reaction! since it is metabolized to 6MP
