| 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). |
| Nab-paclitaxel | Abraxane | ABI-007|Paclitaxel Protein-bound | Chemotherapy - Taxane 3 | Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) is an albumin-stablized version of paclitaxel, which binds microtubules and prevents depolymerization, resulting in decreased cell motility and division (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
| PEGPH20 | Pegvorhyaluronidase alfa | Pegvorhyaluronidase alfa (PEGPH20) is a pegylated version of hyaluronidase, which degrades endogenous hyaluronic acid within tumors, potentially resulting in decreased growth of tumor cells and increased penetration of other therapeutic agents (PMID: 32706635). |
