| Asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi | Erwinaze | Crisantaspase|JZP458|JZP-458|JZP 458|Rylaze|PF743|RC-P JZP-458 | Erwinaze (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) is an bacterial derived enzyme that converts L-asparagine to L-aspartate and ammonia, which decreases L-asparagine levels, potentially leading to reduced leukemic cell growth (PMID: 25098829, PMID: 26698391). Erwinaze (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) is FDA-approved for use in a chemotherapeutic regimen for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (FDA.gov). | |
| Cytarabine | Cytosar-U | Ara-C | Cytosar-U (cytarabine) is a cytidine analog that, when incorporated into DNA, inhibits DNA synthesis and repair (PMID: 32524309). | |
| 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). |
| Mercaptopurine | Purixan | 6 MP|Purinethol | ||
| Methotrexate | Abitrexate | Amethopterin | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Methotrexate is an antimetabolite, which inhibits DHFR resulting in decreased immune function and antineoplastic activity and is FDA approved for psoriasis, RA, and several cancers including choriocarcinoma, AML, lung, head and neck and epidermoid (FDA.gov). |
