Chapter 13 Antineoplastic Agents


Malignant tumor is a serious threat to human health and the frequently-occurring diseases, the human death caused by malignant tumors is the second place among the death of all disease.
Therapy:
Surgical operationRadiation therapyChemical treatment
Antineoplastic agents aim at anti-malignant tumor, also known as anti-cancer drugs.
Classification by mechanism
1. Alkylating agents2. Antimetabolites3. Drugs intefering with synthesis of protein of tumor cells
13.1 Biological alkylating agents
1.Nitrogen mustards2.Ethylene imines3.Sulfonates and halogenated polyols4.Nitrosourea
Bioalkylating agents are cytotoxic drugs. In vivo, it is able to form a positive charged carbon-ion or other active electrophilic groups, and then the electrophilic ions combine covalently with electron rich groups (such as amino, sulfhydryl, hydroxyl, carboxyl, phosphate, etc.) of the cells of biological macromolecules (DNA, RNA, enzymes), lead to the breaking of DNA molecule, at last result in the death of tumor. However, bioalkylating drugs also inhibit the normal cells with the property of rapid proliferation such as bone marrow cells, intestinal epithelial cells at same time. So the bioalkylating agents have more serious side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, bone marrow suppression and hair loss. Clinical usually are carrying on combined use with other drugs.

It is usually used as injection drug of aqueous solution, which pH value maintained at 3.0 ~ 5.0.
Stability:
Chlormethine hydrochloride presented strong destruction to tumor cells, but with poor selectivity and large toxicity. Only Effective for lymphoma,so structural modification is necessary.
Nitromin:Reduced the possibility of formation of ethylene imine for the reduced electronic cloud on nitrogen. Nitromin is less toxicity, but also the reduced anti-tumor activity.
