Cisplatin- mechanism of action
crosslinking can occur via displacement of the other chloride ligand, typically by another guanine. activate apoptosis
1 of 11
Cisplatin- therapeutic affect
to destroy the cancer cells and elicit tumour shrinkage
2 of 11
Vinblastine- mechanism of action
inhibition of mitosis at metaphase through its interaction with tubulin-microtubular proteins of the mitotic spindle, crystallization of the microtubule and mitotic arrest or cell death. suppress microtubule dynamics/reduce microtubule polymerisation
3 of 11
Vinblastine- therapeutic affect
to destroy the cancer cells and elicit tumour shrinkage
4 of 11
Doxorubicin- mechanism of action (1)
Intercalating activity- intercalates DNA by forming a covalent bond with guanine on one strand mediated by formaldehyde and hydrogen binds with the guanine on the opposing strand → causes inhibition of DNA replication
5 of 11
Doxorubicin- therapeutic affect
to destroy the cancer cells and elicit tumour shrinkage
6 of 11
Doxorubicin- mechanism of action (2)
Histone eviction from chromatin → indices changes to structure of chromatin and changes function of DNA
7 of 11
Doxorubicin- mechanism of action (3)
Generation of free radicles → direct DNA damage, direct damage to proteins and cell membrane
8 of 11
Doxorubicin- mechanism of action (4)
Inhibits the topoisomerase II enzyme and that prevents DNA relacation and therefore DNA transcription and replication is inhibited → inhibition of cell cycle, division and growth.
9 of 11
Mitomycin- mechanism of action
potent DNA cross linker Mitomycin is activated in vivo to a bifunctional and trifunctional alkylating agent. Binding to DNA leads to cross-linking and inhibition of DNA synthesis and function
10 of 11
Mitomycin- therapeutic affect
to destroy the cancer cells and elicit tumour shrinkage
