  1. 1Targeted cancer therapies are products of [blank_start]rational[blank_end] drug design, act on [blank_start]specific[blank_end] molecular targets, and are generally [blank_start]cytostatic[blank_end]. They interfere with specific molecules involved in cancer cell [blank_start]growth and survival[blank_end]. Can be:
    1. [blank_start]Small molecule[blank_end] drugs, easily enter tumour cell
    or
    2. [blank_start]Moncolonal antibodies[blank_end], bind to specific targets on cell surface
    1. Arational
    2. Bspecific
    3. Ccytostatic
    4. Dgrowth and survival
    5. ESmall molecule
    6. FMoncolonal antibodies
  2. 2Tumour associated antigens (TIAs) are optimal blocking targets.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  3. 3
    Products of activated oncogenes include cell surface receptors that [blank_start]activate[blank_end] tyrosine kinases. Tyrosine kinase [blank_start]autophosphorylates[blank_end] the receptors in the cell to make: [blank_start]vascular endothelium[blank_end] derived growth factor receptors, human [blank_start]epidermal[blank_end] growth factor, and [blank_start]platelet[blank_end]-derived growth factor receptors. These stimulate [blank_start]proliferation[blank_end] and block [blank_start]apoptosis[blank_end].

    Chromosomal abnormalities are in cancer cells but not normal cells. [blank_start]Thee[blank_end] fusion gene which causes the abnormality makes fusion proteins that[blank_start]. drive[blank_end] cancer development. We can identify cancerous proteins and [blank_start]block[blank_end] their production. Example: Chronic [blank_start]myeloid leukaemia[blank_end] often have the Philadelphia chromosome, which creates a [blank_start]BCR-ABL[blank_end] fusion protein. In cancer it causes constitutively active [blank_start]tyrosine kinase[blank_end] activity.

  4. 4Imatinib: First NIB approved by FDA. The suffix "nib" indicates a small-molecule [blank_start]inhibitor[blank_end] ("nib" is verbal shorthand for "inhibit") of kinase enzymes.
    - A small molecule [blank_start]intracellular[blank_end] inhibitor of tyrosine kinase
    - Treats chronic myeloid leukaemia; as it is selective for [blank_start]BCR-ABL[blank_end] TK fusion protein and competes with [blank_start]ATP[blank_end] for binding siten inhibiting phosphorylation (and [blank_start]proliferation[blank_end]).

    Other NIBs in clinical use: gefitinib, erlotinib, sorafenib, sunitinib, and dasatinib.
    - Share [blank_start]same[blank_end] mechanism of action (competitive ATP inhibition at catalytic binding site of TK) BUT difference is the [blank_start]spectrum[blank_end] of targeted kinases
    e.g. [blank_start]sunitinib[blank_end] inhibits signals from several Rs including VEGF and PDGRF families.

    NIBs are well tolerated but frequently cause [blank_start]myelosupression, rash, GI upset, fatigue[blank_end], arthralgia, & myalgia. Rarely
    cumulative cardiotoxicity: [blank_start]monitoring[blank_end] needed.

    10. Jmonitoring
  5. 5Targeted therapy with monoclonal antibodies:
    Target is angiogenesis, specifically the key targets [blank_start]VEGF-A and VEGFR2[blank_end].

    Bevacizumab (brand name Avastin): [blank_start]recombinant humanized[blank_end] monoclonal v VEGF-A, given by [blank_start]intravenous[blank_end] infusion, first line for [blank_start]colorectal, lung, renal[blank_end] cancer.
    Mode of action:
    Prevents VEGF-A [blank_start]binding[blank_end] and so prevents tumour vascularisation and growth. Serious unwanted effects:, [blank_start]Hyper[blank_end]tension
    • Infections (from [blank_start]neutropaenia[blank_end]), impaired [blank_start]would[blank_end] healing, bleeding, GI perforation, haemorrhage. [blank_start]DVT, PE[blank_end] in the elderly.

    Mode of action: G1 [blank_start]arrest[blank_end] - less proliferation(no change in HER2 expression). Downregulates [blank_start]kinase[blank_end] activation, causing less [blank_start]PI3K, Akt[blank_end], which activates [blank_start]p27[blank_end] and halts cell cycle.
