Unit No 4- Chemotherapy of Malignancy.pptxAshish Umale In the Pharmacy profession there are many dangerous diseases from which the most dangerous is cancer. Here we study about the cancer as well as its treatment that is supportive to the students of semester VI of Bachelor of Pharmacy. Cancer is a disease of cells of characterized by Progressive, Persistent, Perverted (abnormal), Purposeless and uncontrolled Proliferation of tissues. There are many types of cancer that are harmful to the human body which are responsible to cause the disease condition. The position 7 of guanine residues in DNA is especially susceptible. Cyclophosphamide is a prodrug converted to the active metabolite aldophosphamide in the liver. Procarbazine is a weak MAO inhibitor; produces sedation and other CNS effects, and can interact with foods and drugs. Methotrexate is one of the most commonly used anticancer drugs. Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist. 6-MP and 6-TG are activated to their ribonucleotides, which inhibit purine ring biosynthesis and nucleotide inter conversion. Pyrimidine analogue used in antineoplastic, antifungal and anti psoriatic agents.
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a pyrimidine analog. It is a complex diterpin taxane obtained from bark of the Western yew tree. Actinomycin D is obtained from the fungus of Streptomyces species. Gefitinib and Erlotinib inhibit epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. Sunitinib inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases like platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) Rituximab target antigen on the B cells causing lysis of these cells.
Prednisolone is 4 times more potent than hydrocortisone, also more selective glucocorticoid, but fluid retention does occur with high doses. Estradiol is a major regulator of growth for the subset of breast cancers that express the estrogen receptor (ER, ESR1).
Finasteride and dutasteride inhibit conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in prostate (and other tissues), have palliative effect in advanced carcinoma prostate; occasionally used.

Synthesized originally as an anthelmintic but appears to restore depressed immune function of B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages.
Interferons alpha and beta are mainly used for antiviral effects while interferon a for its immunomodulating actions.

Cyclosporine acts at an early stage, selectively inhibits T cell proliferation and suppresses cell-mediated immunity.
Azathioprine is a prodrug of mercaptopurine which is a purine analog.
TNFa is secreted by activated macrophages and other immune cells to act on TNF receptors (TNFR1, TNFR2) which are located on the surface of neutrophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells as well as found in free soluble form in serum and serous fluids.
Etanercept is also used for severe/refractory ankylosing spondylitis, polyarticular idiopathic juvenile arthritis and plaque psoriasis
Anakinra along with continued MTX has been used alone as well as added to Tnfa antagonists, because its clinical efficacy as monotherapy is lower.Use of immunosuppressants is essential for successful organ transplantation.
A glucocorticoid like methylprednisolone for 3-5 days generally suppresses acute rejection episodes
