Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Carmustine | Becenun | BCNU | Chemotherapy - Alkylating 18 | Becenun (carmustine) is an antineoplastic alkylating agent, which cross-links DNA and disrupts the cell-cycle (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Cytarabine | Cytosar-U | Ara-C | Cytosar-U (cytarabine) is a cytidine analog that, when incorporated into DNA, inhibits DNA synthesis and repair (PMID: 32524309). | |
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). | |
Rituximab | Rituxan | IDEC-C2B8|MabThera | CD20 Antibody 24 | Rituxan (rituximab) is a chimeric mononclonal antibody that binds to CD20 on B-cells, resulting in induction of complement-dependent and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity, and potentially leading to decreased B-cell tumor growth (PMID: 28983798). Rituxan (rituximab) is FDA approved for use as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy in CD20-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in CD20-positive chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and in combination with chemotherapy in pediatric patients (6 month to 18 years of age) with treatment-naive, CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, Burkitt-like lymphoma, or mature B-cell acute leukemia (B-AL) (FDA.gov). |
