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). |
Pegaspargase | Oncaspar | PEG-asparaginase|PEG-ASP | Oncaspar (pegaspargase) is a pegylated version of L-asparaginase, which converts L-asparagine to ammonia and L-aspartic acid, reducing available asparagine resulting in decreased protein synthesis, inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, and increased apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). | |
Vincristine Sulfate | Oncovin | 22-Oxovincaleukoblastine|vincristine | Oncovin (vincristine) binds microtubules and prevents mitotic spindle formation, resulting in cell-cycle arrest (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
