Cyclophosphamide
bioactivated DNA purine alkyating agent at Nitrogen-7 - solid tumors, leukemia, lymphomas - Associated with intersticial cystitis –> Mesna
ABVD for Hodgkins Lymphoma
Adriamycin (doxorubicin), Bleomycin, Vinblastin, Dacarbazine
Mesna
Free thiol, reduces toxicity of cyclophoshamide metabolism, protects bladder
Amifostine
thio-based free radical scavenging agent, protects against platinum containing agents (cisplatin)
Digoxin
Na-K ATPase inhibitor - increased intracellular Na+, decreased Na/Ca exchanger, increased intracellular Ca2+
Vasopressin V2 receptor
Gs - Stimulates adenylyl cyclase
Heparin overdose
Protamine sulfate
Leukovorin/folinic acid
mitigates myelosuppression from methrotrexate - “leucovorin rescue”
reversing tPA
aminocaproic acid
Abciximab
binds to glycoprotein recepptor IIb/IIIa on activated platelets, preventing aggregation
Cladribine
purine analog - inhibits adenosine deanimase, DNA strand breaks - hairy cell leukemia
Probenecid
for gout - Inhibits reabsorption of uric acid
Cochicine
for gout - depolymerizes microtubules - GI upset
Ketoconazole
blocks formation of fungal membrane - tinea corporis - has endocrine effect
Fluconazole
Candida, Cryptococcus neoformans
Itraconazole
aspergillosis, candidiasis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis
Penicillamine
copper chelator - Wilsons disease - also can use trientine
Dimercaprol
arsenic, mercury, gold, lead, antimony
EDTA
lead poisoning
Deferoxamine
iron overload
sodium thiosulfate
cyanide poisoning
amyl nitrate
induces methoglobinemia - Hb has greater affinity for cyanide
fomepizole
ethylene glycol/methanol poisoning
phentolamine
alpha receptor blocker - can counteract epinephrine, cocaine
