---|---|---|---|---|
Bevacizumab | Avastin | VEGF Antibody 12 VEGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 36 | Avastin (bevacizumab) is a monoclonal antibody that binds VEGF and inhibits binding to VEGFR, potentially resulting in decreased tumor growth (PMID: 15136787). Avastin (bevacizumab) is FDA approved for use in colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma, and ovarian cancer, and in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (FDA.gov). | |
Docetaxel | Taxotere | RP56976 | Antimicrotubule Agent 14 | Taxotere (docetaxel) binds to tubulin, inhibiting microtubule disassembly and preventing cell division (PMID: 32496783, PMID: 32366558). |
Gemcitabine | Gemzar | Difluorodeoxycytidine Hydrochlorothiazide|LY-188011 | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Gemzar (gemcitabine) is converted in cells to difluorodeoxycytidine di- and triphosphate (dFdCDP, dFdCTP), which act to inhibit ribonucleoside reductase and as a deoxynucleotide analog respectively, resulting in DNA strand termination and apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Valproic acid | Stavzor | Depacon|Valproate Sodium|Depakene | HDAC Inhibitor 45 | Valproic acid inhibits HDAC activity, potentially resulting in decreased angiogenesis, increased tumor cell differentiation, and reduced tumor growth (PMID: 11742974, PMID: 14978230). Valproic acid is FDA-approved for use in treating seizures (FDA.gov). |
