Antineoplastic Agents

Antineoplastic agents combat tumors through distinct mechanisms. Alkylating antineoplastic agents form DNA crosslinks, blocking replication. Antimetabolite antineoplastic agents mimic metabolites to disrupt DNA/RNA synthesis. Both classes target rapidly dividing cells but differ in molecular interactions.

Mitoxantrone

(65271-80-9)
Mitoxantrone is a DNA intercalating drug. Mitoxantrone inhibits DNA synthesis. Mitoxantrone is used as an anti-cancer agent.

Mitomycin C

(50-07-7)
Mitomycin C is the most studied of a family of highly distinctive blue/purple metabolites produced by several Streptomyces species. Mitomyin C exhibits potent antibacterial and antitumour activity and inhibits DNA synthesis by intercalation, blocking nuclear division with the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells.

Miltefosine

(58066-85-6)
A phospholipid drug with antineoplastic and antiprotozoal/antifungal properties, also acts as an Akt inhibitor, and under investigation as a potential therapy against HIV infection.

Mitotane

(53-19-0)
Mitotane is an inhibitor of steroidogenesis that suppresses the growth of adrenocortical cells. It blocks the expression of several genes that encode proteins involved in steroidogenesis and disrupts mitochondrial respiratory chain activity in human adrenocortical cells. Mitotane has anti-neoplastic actions, alone or in combination with other compounds, and suppresses cortisol synthesis, although it also has significant toxicity in the gastrointestinal tract and nervous system. It is effective a

Mithramycin

(18378-89-7)
Mithramycin A was the first of the aureolic acid class of antitumor antibiotics, isolated from Streptomyces. Mithramycin inhibits transcription and protein synthesis by non-covalent binding with G-C-rich duplex DNA in the presence of magnesium and zinc ions. Mithramycin also induces differentiation of leukemic cells accompanied by an early decrease in c-myc expression, and selectively inhibits collagen-1 gene expression in human fibroblasts.

Antineoplastic agents are a class of drugs used to treat tumor diseases. In short, there are chemotherapy drugs and biological agents. At present, there are more than 80 kinds of antineoplastic agents common in the world, which can be roughly divided into the following 6 categories: cytotoxic drugs, hormone drugs, biological response modifiers, monoclonal antibody drugs, other drugs, auxiliary drugs and so on. The "ECHEMI Antineoplastic Agents" list mainly supplies APIs for such drugs.

More Information

Antineoplastic agents are a large group of compounds having different structures but with one common antineoplastic property, namely, to inhibit the proliferation of malignant cells. Through other mechanisms, these agents disrupt DNA replication, inhibiting the cell's metabolism, or inhibiting the essential enzymatic process of the cell. For example, alkylating agents, including bendamustine and dacarbazine, introduce alkyl groups to DNA which causes breakage of the strand and death of the alkylated cell.

Fludarabine phosphate and azathioprine are antimetabolites that mimic the natural substrates and thereby block the synthesis of nucleic acid and inhibit the growth of tumours. These agents have proved efficacious in a variety of malignancies and thus are key components to chemotherapy regimens.

Applications of antineoplastic agents include:

● Treatment of hematologic cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma.

● It is used in the management of solid tumours such as breast, lung and colorectal cancers.

● Conditioning before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

● Preventive maintenance therapy for cancer recurrence.

● It’s in combination with other therapeutic modalities, such as radiation and immunotherapy, for the sake of enhancing treatment efficacy.
