AntiCancer Drugs II

Stack #76925

QuestionAnswer
DNA-trageting antitumor antibiotics from streptomyces bleomycins, dactinomycin, anthracyclines, mitomycin C
Bleomycin (general) glycopeptide, naturally cu comples but act as fe complex, inhibit DNA repair
DNA-trageting antitumor antibiotics from streptomyces bleomycins, dactinomycin, anthracyclines, mitomycin C
Bleomycin (general) glycopeptide made by S. verticillus, naturally cu comples but act as fe complex, inhibit DNA repair
Bleomycin (structure) 4 aromatic heterocycles; pyrazine and imidazole rings chelate with Cu/Fe; Thiazole rings (S) bind DNA; L-surgar residues are cell recognition and uptake site; terminal amide is the metabolic site
Bleomycin (MOA) Form 5-cooridinated Fe (II) complexes (5 bonds to N, 1 to O); O is reduced to hydroxyl radical which reacts with DNA
Bleomycin (application) Carcinomas: Testicular, squamous cell, ovarian germ cell, lymphoma, cervix, head, neck, larynx
Bleomycin (toxicity) pnuemonitis, pumonary fibrosis
Dactinomycin = actinomycin produced by S. parvulus; tricyclic core is a 3-phenoxazone-1,9dicarboxylate
Dactinomycin (substituents) contains 2 pentapeptide rings; aa in each ring: Thr-MeVal-MeGly(SAR)-LPro-DVal-back to L Thr
Dactinomycin (MOA) tricyclic phenoxazone ring intercalates b/w base pairs; the aromatic rings undergo Pi-Pi stacking; causes local distorating and interferes with TopoIsomerase II; DNA replication and transcription is impossible
Dactinomycin (Use/Shortcoming) Rhabdomyosarcomas; Wilms tumor/ does not cross BBB
Anthracyclines Daunorubicin, Doxorubicin, Idarubicin, Epirubicin, and Valrubicin
Anthracyclines (general) most studied class of antitumor drugs; tetracycli anthraquinone aglycon and a unique amino-surgar; intercalate into DNA--inhibit Topoisomerase II; used in many multi-drug regimens
Daunorubicin/Doxorubicin original natural products of S. peucetius; doxorubicin has an OH in 14 position
Idarubicin synthetic daunomycin analogue (no 4-OCH3 gp); improved cellular uptake and prolonged half-life
Valrubicin semisynthetic derivative of doxorubicin (12-o-valerylester); used for tx of BCG refaractory urinary bladder carcinoma
Epirubicin originally doxorubicin derivative--now can be made by bacteria; structurally the same as doxorubicin except 4-OH is equatorial; reduced toxicity, adjuvant for axillary node tumor tx
ANthracyclines (MOA) amino surgar binds to phosphate backbone; intercalation leads to DNA breaks due to repair attempts of TI II and generation of ROS (reactive oxygen species); ROS contributes to cardiac toxicity
Anthracycline (application) IV only; used in coctails, doxorubicin and derivitives have broader applications
Daunorubicin (application) acute leukemias, Kaposi sarcoma; applied as HCl or citrate liposomal product; metabolism: keto gp reduction/ loss of surgar moiety/demethylation followed by glucuronidation
Doxorubicin (application) acute leukemias, solid tumors, hodgkins disease, lymphoma, lung carcinoma, various sarcomas, applied as HCl or liposomal product (DOXIL)
Mitomycin C (structure and use) from S. caespitosus, "bioreductive alkylating agent"; used to tx pancreatic, intravesicular bladder, colon, and stomach cancer
Mitomycin C (MOA) solid tumors are hypoxic, under these conditions the quinone is reduced to hydroquinone -- a cascade of rxns follows leading to DNA crosslinking; contains aziridine ring -key to DNA alkylation
Antitumor alkaloids from plants Camptothecins, Vinca Alkaloids, Taxanes
Camptothecins (general) from C. acuminatat; natural product is too toxic; 2 semi-synthetic derivitives are more water soluble: topotecan and irinotecan; inhibits resealing reaction by TI I; used for colorectal, ovarian, and lung cancers
Camptothecins (structure) Pentacyclic structure with 1 chiral C at C-20; S isomer 100x more reactive than R-isomer; Rings: quinoline (2), pyran, 2-pyridone, and lactone (C-20); lactone ring opening a physiologic pH inc. water sol.
Topotecan (use) HCl salt, used mainly against metastatic ovarian cancer
Irinotecan (structure/use) HCl salt; carbamate prodrug activated by carboxylesterase (active metabolite=SN-28); 1000x more potent; used against metastatic colorectal cancer
topoisomerase I activity uncoil DNA for transcription; Tyr residue covalently binds 3-PO4 end of DNA breaking the strand; reseals after transcription
Camptothecin (MOA) stabilize the transiet topo I-DNA complex therefore inhibited religation; S-phase specific drugs
Vinca alkaloids from C. roseus; include vincristine, vinblastine, vindesine, vinorelbine
Vinca (MOA and Use) binds to tubulin causing depolymerization -- metaphase arrest; used for testicular tumors, lymphomas, breast and lung cancer, pediatric leukemia, wilms tumor and rhabdomycosarcoma
Vinca (toxicity) interferes with processes dependent on microtubular integrity ie.insulin and T-4 release; neuropathy occurs with vincristine
Vinca (structure) multicyclic asymmetrical dimeric structures with indole derived core; tertiary amines allow salt formation
Taxanes (general) from T. brevifolia; includes paclitaxel and docetaxel
Taxane (MOA and Use) binds tubulin but promotes microtubule formation in a wrong way-- mitotic arrest; used for tx of metastatic ovarian and breast cancer
Pacitaxel (structural characteristics) diterpenoid containing a complex tetracyclic taxane ring and an phenylalanine derived side chain/ very lipophilic, doesn't form salts, IV only, metabolized to 6-OH paclitaxel and dihydroxypaclitaxel by CYP450 oxygenase
Docetaxel (taxotere) (structural characteristics) core from T. baccata with synthetic t-butylcarbamate side chain
Taxane (biosynthesis) terpene core is synthesized from IPP, DMAPP, and GGDP, key enzyme=taxadiene synthase; DMAPP and IPP are synthesized by a "nonmevalonoid" pathway that starts with pyruvate nad hydroxyacetone phosphate
MDR against natural anticancer drugs decreased uptake, elevated metabolic enzymes
MDR tumor cells can become resistent to drugs with different MOA--overproduce P-glycoprotein pumps, mutant topoisomerase; drugs that overcome MDR: verapamil, cyclosporin, calmodulin inhibitors, quinolines
