Be able to explain the mechanism of action of the following anti-cancer drugs: Vinblastine, and Avastin
Homework Answers
Answer. Vinblastine is a drug used as chemotherapy. It shows tow mechanism, 1. at very low concentration it will hinder or suppress microtubule dynamics, 2. At high concentration it block microtubule mass formation.
Avastin is a monoclonal humanized antibody that inhibit angiogenesis by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). VEGF-A is a protein that stimulates angiogenesis

Look up the following cancer drugs/therapyand explain how each works. In your answer include mechanism of action, drug/therapytarget (specific protein), and specific pathway targeted. Explain why this is an anti-cancer drug/therapy(what is it doing to the cancer cells?) Be sure to include references used .a.ABT-737 b.ONYX-015 c.vinblastine d.cyclapolin e.TNP-470

Question 1 Anti-cholinergic drugs (e.g. Cogentin) are effective in alleviating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Using a diagram, explain the mechanism of action of these drugs. Imagine a patient with Parkinson's and schizophrenia. Why would a typical anti-psychotic be less effective if co-administered with Cogentin? Question 2 Using two diagrams, one at initiation of treatment and one after6 weeks of treatment, expla in the mechanism of action SSRIS and the hypothesis for delayed therapeutic effect. What would happen if a...

3. Many chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer work by modifying the mitotic spindle. Given the short description of the two drugs here, describe how these drugs are effective in stopping cancer cells and where in the cell cycle they are effective. Paclitaxel works by interfering with normal microtubule breakdown during cell division and Vinblastine works by binding tubulin, thereby inhibiting the assembly of microtubules. 4. A researcher has developed three different cell lines that are able to each ignore...

Find one example of an anti-cancer or anti- viral drug (other types of drugs are also okay) that has at least one chiral center in its structure. Write a brief overview of how this drug used and why it is effective (cite source!). Draw its structure and mark all the stereocenters with a star. Assign each stereocenter as R or S (in case the drug is used as a racemic mixture you can show one of the stereoisomers as...

You want to create an anti-cancer drug that destabilizes microtubules, hoping to prevent cell division in the cancer cell line that you are studying. Which of the following drugs would enhance microtubule shrinkage and, therefore, utilize this mechanism of action? Answers A-D A a drug that inhibits GTP hydrolysis by the B-subunit in the GTP cap O B a drug that increases the ability of a tubulin dimer to bind to y-tubulin of the centrosome с a drug that increases...
