MOA anthracyclines
Intercalate with DNA
INhibit TOPOISOMERASE II
DSB
Drug-Fe-DNA causes ROS leading to SSB
5 Anthracycline Toxicies
Dose limiting: LEUCOPENIA
Cardiotoxicity (ROS)
Acute ECG changes (arrhythmia)
Delayed progressive cardiomyopathy
VESICANT
Discolorations
ALOPECIA
Anthracycline Rescue Agent
Dexrazoxane is a Fe chelator
Dactnomycin MOA
MOA: binds to DsDNA, inhibits RNA synth. At higher concentrations, it inhibits DNA synthesis

Dact gets Stacked!
1 Dactinomycin SE
BM depression (dose limiting)
Bleomycin
MOA
Bleo-FE-DNA generates ROS causing DSB and SSB.

it BLASTS the DNA
Bleomycin
SE
SE: pulmonary tox is dose limiting
Mucositis is most common
Bleo is MARROW SPARING!
Hyperpigmentation
Mitomycin (tox like Bleo)
alkylator

Delayed myelosuppression
pulmonary fibrosis
HUS
(MAHA, renal failure)
Arsenic trioxide
degrades PML-RAR alpha (leukemia)
QT prolongation
HIGH emetogenicity
Differentiation syndrome
Retinoid
Degrades RAR fusion protein to induce cellular growth and differentiation of promyelocytes

Differentiation Syndrome: dyspnea, fever, weight gain, dry skin, pleural/pericardial effusion)
MOA vinca alkaloids and eribulin Mesylate
bind to tubulin, dimers cannot aggregate (depolymerization)
MOA of Taxanes and Epothilones
Stabilize microtubules forming abnormal bundles
Vincristine Toxicity
DL: peripheral neuropathy and neurologic toxicities
Autonomic neuropathy
NO myelosuppresion

Christine's a little CRazy
Vinca alkaloids toxicity (not vincristine)
BM suppression, less neurotox than vincristine
Toxicities of Taxanes
BM suppression
Neutropenia
Peripheral neuropathies leading to Myopathies
Paclitaxel SE and TX
Hypersensitivity from Cremophore EL

Tx: dexamethasone, diphenhydramine, H2 antagonist
Docetaxel SE
Interstitial pneumonitis
What's cool about Cabazitaxel
poor afinity to PGP, so used for patients who have failed docetaxel
Epothilones: what are they and why should I care?
more potent than taxanes, similar toxicities

great for taxane resistant tumors
Eribulin Mesylate SE
eliminated in feces unchanged
Neutropenia
P neuropathy like taxanes
fatibue, anemia, alopecia, constipation
QT prolongation
Epipodophyllotoxines (Etoposide, Teniposide) SE
Myelosuppression

Etoposide: Hypotension, leukemias
Campotheicins:
Irinotecan
Topotecan
INH topoisomerase 1 --> SSB

BM depression
Mucositis
Irinotecan SE
Early and late Diarrhea

"run to the can"
Resistance in Campothecins
accompanied by corss resistance to several drugs, "atypical" multidrug resistant phenotype.
altered or decreased topoisomerase activity
