---|---|---|---|---|
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). |
Paclitaxel | Taxol | 7-Epipaclitaxel | Antimicrotubule Agent 14 BCL2 Family Inhibitor 6 | Taxol (paclitaxel) binds to tubulin to inhibit microtubule disassembly, which results in decreased cell division, and also binds to the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, promoting apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin | Doxil | ATI-0918|CAELYX|liposomal doxorubicin | Chemotherapy - Anthracycline 13 | Doxil (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) comprises the anthracyline doxorubicin, which intercalates into DNA and disrupts DNA replication, encapsulated in a liposome, which improves tumor penetration and decreases toxicity (NCI Drug Dictionary), and is FDA approved for ovarian cancer, AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, and multiple myeloma (FDA.gov). |
