| 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). |
| Nab-paclitaxel | Abraxane | ABI-007|Paclitaxel Protein-bound | Chemotherapy - Taxane 3 | Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) is an albumin-stablized version of paclitaxel, which binds microtubules and prevents depolymerization, resulting in decreased cell motility and division (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
| Vismodegib | Erivedge | GDC-0449 | SMO Inhibitor 16 | Erivedge (vismodegib) binds to and inhibits Smoothened (SMO), resulting in inhibition of downstream signaling and decreased tumor growth (PMID: 24259609, PMID: 19716296). Erivedge (vismodegib) is FDA approved for use in patients with basal cell carcinoma (FDA.gov). |
