What is the dosage form of doxorubicin?
Intravenous
What is the antidote for Doxorubicin?
hyaluronidase
How does doxorubicin affect DNA methylation?
Doxorubicin can induce changes in DNA methylation patterns by affecting the activity of DNA methyltransferase enzymes. It can lead to global hypomethylation or hypermethylation of specific gene promoters, influencing gene expression and potentially contributing to its cytotoxic effects.
With doxorubicin admistration it is essential that the nurse closely monitor for the patients?
yes
Drugs containing primary amine as afunctional group?
Doxorubicin, an anticancer drug.
Why is doxorubicin fatal to a cell?
Doxorubicin is fatal to a cell primarily because it intercalates into DNA, disrupting the normal function of the genetic material and inhibiting DNA replication and transcription. This leads to the formation of free radicals that cause oxidative damage to cellular components, including membranes and proteins. Additionally, doxorubicin can trigger apoptosis, or programmed cell death, as a response to the extensive DNA damage and cellular stress it induces. These mechanisms collectively contribute to its effectiveness as a chemotherapeutic agent but also underscore its cytotoxic nature.
What drug combinations are commonly used in treatment of small cell lung cancer?
cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), doxorubicin (Adriamycin), and vincristine (Oncovin), or etoposide and cisplatin.
What has the author Heidi Traunecker written?
Heidi Traunecker has written: 'The biology of drug resistance in human sarcoma cells following a brief exposure to doxorubicin'
What drugs are used in chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease?
MOPP (either mechlorethamine or methotrexate with Oncovin, procarbazine, prednisone) and ABVD (Adriamycin or doxorubicin, bleomycin, vincristine, dacarbazine).
What chemotherapeutic regime is sometimes recommended to treat MALT lymphoma?
At present, a chemotherapeutic regime designated CHOP includes the anti-cancer drugs cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone.
What are the drug interactions associated with the use of rosemary?
