Methotrexate
Trimetrexate
Antimetabolites

Folate antagonists

Folic acid mimic that inhibits the enzyme DHFR

Prodrug activated by enz. addition of several glu
tetrahydrofolate (THF)
Required methyl and methylene group donor for thymidine and purine biosynthesis
leucovorin rescue
Reduced folates

used with high dose MTX regimes to restore pools of folate so normal cells survive
Hydroxyurea
Deoxynucleotide synthesis antagonist
Inhibits ribonucleotide reductase (reduces NDPs to dNDPs)
Fluoropyrimidines
(5-FU, fluorodeoxyuridine, ftorafur)
Pyrimidine synthesis antagonists
- active 5-F-dUMP covalently modifies thymidylate synthase (TS converts dUMP to TMP)
-Can also cause strand breaks
- Leucovorin enhances binding of 5-FU to TS
5-FU must be activated by TP, TK and pyrm. kinases
6-mercaptoprine
6-thioguanine
Purine Biosynthesis Antagonists
-competitive inhibitors of enzymes in purine syn pathway
-RNA and DNA incorporation
Gemcitabine
Cytosine arabinoside
Fludarabine
5-azacytidine
2-chlorodeoxyadenosine
Inhibitors of DNA Polymerase
-nucleoside analogues
-BLOCK DNA STRAND ELONGATION
Imatinib (Gleevec)TM
Signal Transduction Inhibitor
-Receptor and Non-Receptor Protein Kinases Inhibitor
--Inhibits autophosphorylation of three TKs
remember BCR-ABL
Trastuzumab (Herceptin)
Signal Transduction Inhibitor
-Receptor Protein Kinase Inhibitor
--humanized MAb, binds HER2
BREAST CANCER
Cetuximab
Signal Transduction Inhibitor
-Receptor Protein Kinase Inhibitor
-- anti-EGFR MAb
COLORECTAL CANCER, HEAD-AND-NECK TUMORS
Gefitinib
Signal Transduction Inhibitor
--EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI)
NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
Protease Inhibitors
Anti-angiogenesis drugs
Block breakdown of ECM

ex: Neovastat
Gleevec (Part II)
Anti-angiogenesis drug
**Inhibitor of endothelial cell proliferation
PK (PDGF, VEGF, FGF) Inhibitors
Endostatin, angiostatin
Anti-angiogenesis drugs
Inhibitors of endothelial cell proliferation
Fumagillin
Anti-angiogenesis drug
**Inhibitor of endothelial cell proliferation
Fungal product
Bortezomib or Velcade
Proteasome Inhibition

Boronic acid dipeptide inhibitor
-Targets chymotrypsin-like active site of proteasome
Inhibition of proteasome--> no degradation of IkB--> IkB blocks txn NF-kB ( NF-kB promotes cancer cell survival)
