Antineoplastic
MOA
-Affecting cell survival
-Boosting the immune system in its efforts to combat the abnormal cells
TYPES
Alkylating
Antimetabolites
Antineoplastic
Antibiotics
Mitotic Inhibitors
Hormones and
Hormone Modulators
Cancer Cell Specific
Agents
MOA
React chemically
with portions of the
RNA, DNA, or
other cellular
proteins
Have chemical
structures like those
of natural metabolites
-Inhibit DNA
production in cells
that depend on
certain natural
metabolites to
produce their DNA
Not selective only
for bacterial cells;
toxic to human cells
-Break up DNA links
and others prevent
DNA synthesis
-Cytotoxic and
interfere w/cellular
DNA synthesis
Drugs that kill cells
as the process of
mitosis begins
-Inhibit DNA
synthesis
-Interfere w/ ability
of a cell to divide;
they block or alter
DNA synthesis, thus
causing cell death
Used in cancers that
are sensitive to
estrogen stimulation
-Some of them block
or interfere w/
estrogen receptors
sites to prevent growth
of the cancer and
cause cell death in
some situations
-used as antineoplastic
are receptor-site
specific or hormone
specific to block the
stimulation of growing
cancer cells that are
sensitive to the
presence of that
hormone
Treat chronic myeloid
leukemia (CML) and
CD117-positive
unresectable or
metastatic malignant
GI stromal tumors
(GIST)
-These drugs would not
have the devastating
effects on healthy cells
in the body and would
be more effective
against particular
cancer cells
- there are three
groups
1-protein tyrosine
kinase inhibitors
2-Epidermal growth
factor inhibitor
3- Proteasome inhibitor
