Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
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). |
Interferon gamma | Actimmune | gamma interferon|IFN-G|recombinant interferon gamma | Interferon gamma is a cytokine that binds IFN-gamma receptors, leading to pleiotropic effects, including stimulating antibody-dependent cytotoxicity and enhanced natural killer cell activity against tumor cells and the activation of caspases, leading to apoptosis of malignant cells (PMID: 14525967). | |
Mitomycin C | Mitozytrex | Chemotherapy - Alkylating 18 | Mitomycin C is an antibiotic alkylating agent, which cross-links DNA to prevent DNA synthesis (NCI Drug Dictionary). | |
Valrubicin | Valstar | Antibiotic Ad 32|AD-32 | Chemotherapy - Anthracycline 13 TOPO2 inhibitor 5 | Valstar (valrubicin) is an anthracycline that is metabolized into compounds that inhibit topoisomerase II, resulting in inhibition of DNA synthesis and potentially leading to decreased tumor growth (PMID: 19145271, PMID: 20554745). Valstar (valrubicin) is FDA-approved for treatment of BCG-refractory urinary bladder carcinoma in situ (FDA.gov). |
