Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Daunorubicin | Cerubidine | Rubidomycin|daunomycin hydrochloride|rubomycin C|Acetyladriamycin | Chemotherapy - Anthracycline 13 | Cerubidine (daunorubicin) is an anthracycline, which inhibits DNA replication and repair. Cerubidine (daunorubicin) is FDA approved for AML and MLL (FDA.gov). |
Dexamethasone | Adexone | Desametasone | ||
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). |
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). |
