MDTI drugs - Sheet1 Flashcards
rATG/eATG
polyclonal immunosuppressives. work on many signals. deplete cells. induction/rejection therapy. Problems: batch variability. risk of antibody reponse. Leuko, thrombo, anemia
belatacept
Immunosuppressive. Fusion protein blocks CD80/86 (signal 2). induces anergy/apoptosis. Monthly infusion. Problems: risk of PTLD, infection, anemia, leukopenia.
basiliximab
Immunosuppressive. mAb against IL-2R (Signal 3) or activated TCs. induction, not rejection.
sirolimus/everolimus
Immunosuppressives. mTOR inhibitors (signal 3). induce cell cycle arrest. CYP3A4 metabolizes. Problems: narrow TI, leuko, thrombo, anemia, proteniuria, wound healing, penomitis, edema.
Azathioprine, myophenolate, methotrexate
Immunosuppressives. Cell cycle inhibitors. problems: leuko, thrombo, anemia, liver/lung/GI disease (Azathioprine: skin cancer)
Corticosteroids
Immunosuppresives. inhibit TFs (NFAT)/cytokine expression. impair macrophages. high dose can cause apoptosis in lymphos. High dose for transplant/rejection, then tapered.
Tacrolimus, cyclosporine
Immunosuppresives. Inhibit calcineurin (signal 1). CYP3A4. Problems: Very narrow TI, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, metabolic disturbance. hirsutism/gingival hyperplasia (cyclo only)
Cisplatin
DNA-crosslinking antineoplastic. stable in high Cl- (blood). unstable in cell. MoR: decreased uptake, enhanced repair, tolerance, thiols.
cyclophosphamide/Ifosfamide
DNA-alkylating antineoplastic. pro-drugs. MoR: DNA repair, decreased permeability, thiols.
doxorubicin
topoisomerase II antineoplastic. MoA: intercalation. MoR: mutx of topoisomerase, enhanced repair, thiols, p-glycoprotein
topotecan, irinotecan
topoisomerase I antineoplastic (S-phase specific). MoA: intercalation. MoR: mutx of topoisomerase, enhanced repair, thiols, p-glycoprotein
5-FU
uridine analog antineoplastic. MoA: competitively binds TS, S-phase arrest. MoR: increased TS expression.
methotrexate
DHFR inhibitor (pyramindine synthesis) antineoplastic. MoR: decreased transport, efflux, increase in DHFR expression
taxanes (paclitaxel)
anti-mitotic antineoplastic. MoA: stabilizes MTs. MoR: p-glycoprotein, MAPs impair binding
Vinas (vinblastine)
antimitotic antineoplastic. MoA: destabilize MTs. MoR: p-glycoprotein, tubulin mutx, altered tubulin isofomrs
bevaczumab
mAb antiangiogenic antineoplastic. MoA: binds VEGF
imatinib
Gleevec. RTKI antineoplastic. specificity for BCR-ABL, PDGFR, c-kit TKs
Coxib side effects
Reduced GI toxicity, renal and CV toxicity in some pts (NB: PGE is COX1/2 dependent
Clinical utility of NSAIDs
Antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet (aspirin)
Aspirin MoA
Irreversible inhibition of COX by acetylation (all other NSAIDs are reversible)
Salicylate toxicity
Headache, tinnitus, dizziness, nausea (irritation of CN8)
Non-selectively inhibit COX
aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketorolac
Selectively (relative) inhibit COX2
Celecoxib, valdecoxib
