Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Carboplatin | Paraplatin | CBDCA | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Paraplatin (carboplatin) is a second-generation platinum compound and is activated intracellularly to form reactive platinum complexes that cross link DNA with DNA and with proteins. This induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Etoposide | Vepesid | EPEG|Eposin|VP-16|VP-16-213 | TOPO2 inhibitor 5 | Vepesid (etoposide) binds to and inhibits DNA topoisomerase II, resulting in accumulated DNA damage, inhibition of replication, and cell death (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Melphalan | Alkeran | Chemotherapy - Alkylating 18 | Alkeran (melphalan) is an antineoplastic alkylating agent, which cross-links DNA and induces cell toxicity and is FDA approved for multiple myeloma and epithelial ovarian carcinoma (FDA.gov). | |
Vincristine Sulfate | Oncovin | 22-Oxovincaleukoblastine|vincristine | Oncovin (vincristine) binds microtubules and prevents mitotic spindle formation, resulting in cell-cycle arrest (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
