Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Busulfan | Busulfex | Busulphan | Busulfex (busulfan) inhibits DNA replication and RNA transcription, likely through induction of DNA alkylation (PMID: 27481448). Busulfex (busulfan) in combination with cyclophosphamide is FDA approved as a conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation for patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (FDA.gov). | |
Fludarabine | Fludara | FAMP|Fludarabine phosphate | Flurdara (fludarabine) is converted to 2-fluoro-ara-ATP intracellularly, which potentially inhibits DNA polymerase alpha, ribonucleotide reductase and DNA primase, leading to decreased DNA synthesis and reduced tumor growth (NCI Drug Dictionary) | |
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). |
Tacrolimus | Hecoria | FK-506|Prograf|Advagraf | Tacrolimus binds to FKBP-12 and inhibits calcineurin activity, resulting in immunosuppression (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
