What are anti-tumor drugs?

Simply put, there are chemotherapy drugs and biological agents. Chemotherapy drugs are classified according to their effects: 1. Drugs that interfere with nucleic acid biosynthesis ⒈Dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors: methotrexate (MTX)

⒉Thymidylate synthase inhibitors: fluorouracil (5- FU)

⒊Purine nucleotide interconversion inhibitor: mercaptopurine (6-MP)

⒋Nucleotide reductase inhibitor: hydroxyurea (HU)

⒌DNA polymerase inhibitors: Cytarabine (Ara-C)

2. Drugs that directly affect the structure and function of DNA ⒈Alkylating agents

⒉ Damage to DNA Platinum compounds

⒊Antibiotics that damage DNA

⒋Topoisomerase inhibitors

3. Drugs that interfere with the transcription process and prevent RNA synthesis Bacterin D (dactinomycin, DACT), doxorubicin, daunorubicin

IV. Drugs that inhibit protein synthesis and function ⒈ Tubulin activity inhibitors: vinblastines, paclitaxel

⒉ Drugs that interfere with ribosome function: Cephalotaxus alkaloids

⒊ Drugs that affect the supply of amino acids: L-asparaginase

5 , drugs that regulate hormone balance in the body: suitable for certain tumors related to corresponding hormone levels, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, testicular tumors, etc.

Application of hormones or their antagonists Drugs are used to change the imbalance of hormone balance to inhibit the growth of these hormone-dependent tumors without adverse effects such as bone marrow suppression.
