---|---|---|---|---|
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). | |
Fluorouracil | Adrucil | 5-FU|5-Fluorouracil | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Adrucil (fluorouracil) is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent, which interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis thereby preventing cancer cell growth and is FDA approved for colorectal, breast, stomach, and pancreatic cancer (FDA.gov). |
Leucovorin | Wellcovorin | Calcium folinate|Calcium citrovorum factor|folinic acid | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Wellcovorin (leucovorin) is a metabolite of folate that enhances the efficacy of fluoruracil (PMID: 32490554). |
Oxaliplatin | Eloxatin | Diaminocyclohexane Oxalatoplatinum | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Eloxatin (oxaliplatin) is comprised of a platinum complex, which causes DNA-platinum cross-links, inhibition of DNA replication and transcription, and cell toxicity, and is FDA approved for colorectal cancer (FDA.gov). |
