26、usulfanResistance of Alkylating Agents Resistance to alkylating agents has several causes:uMembrane transport may be decreased.uThe drug may be bound by glutathione(GSH)via GSH-S-transferase or metallothioneins in the cytoplasm and inactivated.uThe drug may be metabolized to inactive species.Adverse

27、 Effects of Alkylating Agentsw Myelosuppression is the dose-limiting adverse effect for alkylating agents.w Nausea and vomiting are common as are teratogenesis and gonadal atrophy,although in the latter cases these are variable,according to the drug,its schedule,and route of administration.w Treatme

28、nt also carries a major risk of leukemogenesis and carcinogenesis.Alkylating AgentsMustinew Mustine must be injected intravenously because it is highly reactive.It disappears very rapidly from the blood,the activity of Mustine lasts only a few minutes.w The main indication for Mustine is in treatmen

29、t of Hodgkins disease and lymphomas,but it may also be useful in other malignancies.Alkylating Agents CyclophosphamideCyclophosphamide can also be given orally.Indications：uIt is used in the treatment of chronic lymphocyctic leukemia,non-Hodgkins lymphomas,breast and ovarian cancer,and a variety of

30、other cancers.uIt is also a potent immunosuppressant,it is used in the management of rheumatoid disorders and autoimmune nephritis.Adverse Effects:uAlopecia,nausea,vomiting,myelosuppression,and hemorrhagic cystitis.Alkylating AgentsNitrosoureasCarmustine,Lomustine,SemustinePharmacokinetics:w Nitroso

31、ureas are highly lipophilic and reach cerebrospinal fluid concentrations that are about 30%of plasma concentrations.Indications:w Because of their excellent CNS penetration,carmustine and lomustine have been used to treat brain tumors.Alkylating Agents Phenylalanine Nitrogen Mustardw Melphalan is a

32、nitrogen mustard that is primarily used to treat multiple myeloma(plasma cell myeloma),breast cancer,and ovarian cancer.Alkylating Agents AlkysulfonatesBusulfan MyleranIndications:w Busulfan is administered orally to treat chroic granulocytic leukemia and other myeloproliferative disorders.Adverse E

33、ffects:w Busulfan produces advers effects related to myelosuppression.It only occasionally produces nausea and vomitting.In high doses,it produces a rare but sometimes fatal pulmonary fibrosis,”busulfan lung”.Alkylating AgentsThiotepa Thiotepa is converted rapidly by liver mixed-function oxidases to

34、 its active metabolite triethylenephosphoramide(TEPA);it is active in bladder cancer.AntimetabolitesGeneral Characteristics：Antimetabolites are S phase-specific drugs that are structural analogues of essential metabolites and that interfere with DNA synthesis.Myelosuppression is the dose-limiting to

35、xicity for all drugs in this class.Classification of Antimetabolitesu Folic acid Antagonists:MTXu Purine Antagonists:6MP 6TGu Pyrimidine Antagonists：5FU araC HUAntimetabolitesFolic Acid AntagonistMethotrexate（MTX）Mechanism of Action：The structures of MTX and folic acid are similar.MTX is actively tr

36、ansported into mammalian cells and inhibits dihydrofolate reductase,the enzyme that normally converts dietary folate to the tetrahydrofolate form required for thymidine and purine synthesis.AntimetabolitesFolic Acid AntagonistMethotrexate（MTX）Indications：w The use of MTX in the treatment of chorioca

37、rinoma,a trophoblastic tumor,was the first demonstration of curative chemotherapy.w It is especially effective for treating acute lymphocytic leukemia and for treating the meningeal metastases of a wide range of tumors.AntimetabolitesFolic Acid Antagonist Methotrexate（MTX）Adverse Effects：uMTX is mye

38、losuppressive,producing severe leukopenia,bone marrow aplasia,and thrombocytopenia.uThis agent may produce severe gastrointestinal disturbances.uRenal toxicity may occur because of precipitation(crystalluria)of the 7-OH metabolite of MTX.AntimetabolitesPurine Antagonists6-Mercapapurine（6-MP）The drug

39、s are believed to act similarly to inhibit purine base synthesis,although their exact mechanisms of action are still uncertain.Indications:w Mercaptopurine is used primarily for the maintenance of remission in patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia and is given in combination with MTX for this pur

40、pose.Adverse Effects:w Well tolerate.w Myelosuppression is generally mild with thioguanine.Long-term mercaptopurine use may cause hepatotoxicity.AntimetabolitesPyrimidine Antagonists5-Fluorouracil(5-FU)Mechanism of Action：w Fluorouracil is an analogue of thymine in which the methyl group is replaced

41、 by a fluorine atom.It has two active metabolites:5-FdUMP and 5-FdUTP.5-FdUMP inhibits thymidylate synthetases and prevents the synthesis of thymidine,a major building block of DNA.5-FdUTP is incorporated into RNA by RNA polymerase and interferes with RNA function.AntimetabolitesPyrimidine Antagonis

42、ts5-Fluorouracil(5-FU)Indications：w Fluorouracil is exclusively used to treat solid tumors,especially breast,colorectal,and gastric tumors and squamous cell tumors of the head and neck.AntimetabolitesPyrimidine Antagonists5-Fluorouracil(5-FU)Adverse Effects：w Fluorouracil may cause nausea and vomiti

43、ng,myelosuppression,and oral and gastrointestinal ulceration.Nausea and vomitting are usually mild.w With fluorouracil,myelosuppression is more problematic after bolus injections,whereas mucosal damage is dose-limiting with continuous infusions.AntimetabolitesPyrimidine AntagonistsCytarabineIndicati

44、ons：w Cytarabine has a narrow clinical spectrum and is primarily used in combination with daunorubicin or thioguanine for the treatment of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.Adverse Effects:w High doses of cytarabine can damage the liver,heart,and other organs.Classification of Antibiotics:w Adriamycin(A

45、nthracyaline Antibiotics)w Mitomycin C w Bleomycinw Actinomycin DAdriamycin and Daunorubicin：Properties:w Adriamycin and Daunorubicin are tetracycline rings with the sugar daunosamine.They are DNA intercalating agents that block the synthesis of DNA and RNA.w These agents are primarily toxic during

46、the S phase of cell cycle.w These agents imparts a red tinge to the urine.w Adramycin is used to treat acute leukemias,lymphoma,and a number of solid tumors.Mitomycin C:Mechanism:w Mitomycin C is an antineoplastic antibiotic that alkylates DNA and thereby causes strand breakage and inhibition of DNA

47、 synthesis.Indications:w It is primarily used in combination with vinvristine as salvage therapy for breast cancer.Adverse Effects:w Mitomycin produces delays and prolonged myelosuppression that preferentially affects platelets and leukocytes.Actinomycin D:w Actinomycin D intercalates DNA and thereb

48、y prevents DNA transcription and messenger RNA synthesis.w The drug is given intravenously,and its clinical use is limited to the treatment of trophoblastic(gestational)tumors and the treatment of pediatric tumors,such as Wilms tumor and Ewings sarcoma.Bleomycin:Mechanism:w The drug has its greatest

49、 effect on neoplastic cell in the G2 phase of the cell replication cycle.Although bleomycin intercalates DNA,the major cytotoxicity is believed to result from ironcatalyzed free radical formation and DNA strand breakage.Indications:w It is useful in Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphomas,testicular can

50、cer,and several other solid tumors.Adverse Effects:w Bleomycin produces very little myelosuppression.The most serious toxicities of Bleomycin are pulmonary and mucocutaneous reactions.Anti-Cancer Plant Allaloidsw Tubulin-Binding Agents Vinca Alkaloids:The cellular mechanism of action of vinca alkalo
